Migration map strategy
Migration begins with limited island resources and a much larger central continent, making the timing and safety of the first landing a major strategic decision.
Overview
Migration begins with limited island resources and a much larger central continent, making the timing and safety of the first landing a major strategic decision.
Plan and execution
Use the opening island to establish a compact economy, then scout a landing site with a Transport Ship and escort. Choose mainland ground that can support a Town Center and later gold or stone access; protect the beachhead with land troops and naval vision while moving more Villagers across.
Risks and adaptation
A landing without an exit or escort can lose workers and ships at once. Do not abandon the original island economy before the new settlement is safe, and watch for opponents trying to block your crossing.
