Kilimanjaro high-ground resource race
Kilimanjaro puts a large mountain in the center of a savanna map and limits nearby food and gold. The high ground and resources around the mountain draw players into a central contest.
Overview
Kilimanjaro puts a large mountain in the center of a savanna map and limits nearby food and gold. The high ground and resources around the mountain draw players into a central contest.
Plan and execution
Secure safe food and scouting first, then approach the mountain from a route your army can reinforce. Use elevated positions and narrow paths to protect ranged units and siege, and claim the central deposits only after the flanks are covered.
Risks and adaptation
An early rush into the center can expose the economy and split the army around the mountain. Do not fight for every deposit at once; keep a retreat path to the starting area.
