Overview
Starting positions offer partial protection, but additional resources lie in an exposed central zone.
Map type and generation
Glacis is listed as Land, with the features Fortifications & walls, Contested center. Its recorded map scope is Standard. These labels describe the kind of terrain and match setup to expect; they do not guarantee that every generated map places resources in the same location.
Planning a match
Scout the space between the starting bases, locate exposed food and wood, and identify a safe route for early pressure before investing in distant expansion. Identify the few usable entrances and secure them deliberately. Walls and narrow routes can buy time for an economy, but they also make the contested opening or cut-through especially important. Compare your opening plan with the actual spawn and scout report before choosing a build order.
How to use this reference
