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.
Map plan: Pilgrims civilization and naval strategy
Pilgrims rewards civilizations that can reveal the mainland, survive the water route, or clear wildlife safely during a migration. Use civilization bonuses to make the first landing more reliable Use Korean Line of Sight to scout the mainland before choosing a landing, or Magyars’ Villager bonus to remove Wolves without exposing a separate escort. Japanese or Viking naval strengths can help hold the crossing and protect Transport Ships. Establish a compact economy at the first safe mainland site, then expand only after the route can be defended A civilization bonus improves the approach but does not replace naval cover or a safe beachhead. Do not transport the main economy until scouting reveals a landing that can be held
