How to use this reference
A narrow land bridge joins player areas between several lakes. A Gaia-controlled Pyramid stands at the center beside Gold and Relics, while small islets in the surrounding water hold additional Stone. Scout the shoreline and landing points early; a route that is safe for ships may still expose a transported army when it reaches land. The map’s resource layout affects which expansions are sustainable and where an opponent is likely to contest control. Pool scope: Standard.
