England
England is a Random Map themed around the area of Southern England surrounding the Thames River and coastline with the English Channel. Its in-game starts and resource placements are generated for each match.
Map character
Scout the northern Coal Mines and southern coast before assigning workers, since the map separates inland Coin from coastal Food and naval access. Check the already upgraded Trade Route stations and Hanover site, then identify which objectives the opening army can defend. A Dock should follow confirmation of safe water and useful fishing space.
What to scout
Prioritize route control when an early Trading Post can be protected, and use the southern coast for Food or fishing only if ships can survive. Coin-dependent plans should account for the northern mines and the distance to them. Keep a land force to guard inland workers; coastal income does not protect the northern expansion.
Upgraded routes and contrasting regions
England represents southern England around the Thames and English Channel. Trade Routes begin upgraded; Coal Mines lie in the north, while a small but productive sea sits in the south. The start offers a choice between inland Coin and coastal Food and naval access. Hanover is the available settlement, with Highwayman and Inquisitor as outlaws.
Plan around the route and coast
Scout northern mines and the southern coastline before committing. Upgraded Trade Routes can provide early value, but stations still need protection. Check whether the limited sea can support Fishing Boats and whether a compact navy can protect them. Land forces remain necessary to secure inland resources and Hanover.
