Overview

A sea separates the surrounding coasts and places naval control between landmasses.

Map type and generation

Sea of Japan (East Sea) is listed as Water, with the features Water & crossings. Its recorded map scope is Real-world. These labels describe the kind of terrain and match setup to expect; they do not guarantee that every generated map places resources in the same location.

Planning a match

Check shore access and fish before committing to docks; on mixed land-and-water layouts, keep enough land defense to protect the economy while the fleet contests fishing or crossings. Compare your opening plan with the actual spawn and scout report before choosing a build order.

How to use this reference

A sea separates the surrounding coasts and places naval control between landmasses. Scout the shoreline and landing points early; a route that is safe for ships may still expose a transported army when it reaches land. Pool scope: Real-world.
