Random Map
Begin with a small force and build an economy on a procedurally generated map while competing for resources and space.

Overview
Begin with a small force and build an economy on a procedurally generated map while competing for resources and space.
Mode rules and player priorities
Begin with a small force and build an economy on a procedurally generated map while competing for resources and space. Before planning the opening, identify the mode’s special win condition, starting rules, and restrictions; these determine whether economic growth, map control, survival, or direct combat should take priority. The standard random-map plan may not fit a mode that changes starting units, technology, or the way victory is awarded.
How to use this reference
Begin with a small force and build an economy on a procedurally generated map while competing for resources and space. The mode defines a match objective or starting rule that can change which units and structures deserve early investment. Read its win condition before choosing an opening.
