A central rift divides the open desert, with huntable animals along its edges. Building is restricted around starting Town Centers and inside the rift, and cracked ground makes structures more vulnerable.

How to use this reference
A central rift divides the open desert, with huntable animals along its edges. Building is restricted around starting Town Centers and inside the rift, and cracked ground makes structures more vulnerable. Prioritize a safe Town Center site with nearby food and wood, then scout outward once Villager production is stable. The map’s resource layout affects which expansions are sustainable and where an opponent is likely to contest control. Pool scope: Standard.
