Overview

Map type and generation
Steppe is listed as Land, with the features Nomad & migration. Its recorded map scope is Standard. 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
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.
