Caribbean
Caribbean is an original island and water map with broad open seas, plentiful Fish and Whales, and coastlines that support naval expansion. It is a strong setting for a water-focused economy, although Fishing Ships and warships become exposed targets.
Map character
A Dock and Fishing Ships gather Food from Fish and Coin from Whales. Scout the sea lanes before placing the Dock, then use warships to protect the fishing fleet and deny the opponent’s shoreline.
What to scout
Choose a water boom when the resource nodes are reachable and the ships can be defended; otherwise spend on land production first. Keep land scouting active because island routes still expose workers to raids.
Protect the water economy
Fish and Whales support a substantial naval economy, while open sea and coastlines create several expansion routes. Build a Dock near safe water, then scout the lanes before investing heavily in Fishing Ships. Use warships to protect the fleet and contest enemy shore access; exposed boats can lose the resource income quickly if the opponent takes control.
Control the broad sea lanes
The open water supports Fishing Ships gathering Food from Fish and Coin from Whales, while islands and coastlines create multiple landing and expansion routes. Scout the sea lanes and likely enemy Dock sites early. Build a fleet that can protect resource ships and contest the opponent’s coast, then retain land troops to defend shore objectives.
