Overview

The route leads toward southern land, so navigation and relocation timing matter.

Map type and generation

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. Treat the opening settlement location as a major decision: check nearby food, wood, and access to the next resource before placing production or expanding. Compare your opening plan with the actual spawn and scout report before choosing a build order.
