Spain
Spain is a Random Map themed around the Iberian Peninsula in Southwest Europe between the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Its in-game starts and resource placements are generated for each match.
Map character
Scout the two parallel coastal Trade Routes, plateau passes and beaches before choosing an opening expansion. The plateaus create defensible ground, while fishing requires safe coastal access. Locate Bourbon and Habsburg settlements and check the route between them and the starting economy.
What to scout
Use a plateau position to guard an inland approach, but keep separate forces or vision for the coastal routes. A Dock and fishing fleet are worthwhile only if the shore can be protected. When the army is too small to cover both coasts and a pass, secure the resource pocket that supports the next production cycle first.
Plateaus create natural defenses
Spain represents the Iberian Peninsula between the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Tall plateaus create chokepoints, and Bourbon and Habsburg settlements can add options around those positions. Two parallel Trade Routes always spawn on the coasts. Fishing also offers an economic route along the beaches, so the map combines defensible ground with exposed coastal objectives.
Scouting coasts and passes
Highwayman and Inquisitor are the listed outlaws. Treasure guardians include Brigands, Gunmen, Witch Hunters, Wolves, Marauding Musketeers and Wild Boars; rewards include Food, Coin, Wood and experience. Scout the passes before a forward attack and check whether the coast is safe enough for a Dock and fishing fleet. Securing one plateau does not automatically protect the Trade Routes or fishing income. Spain is a hybrid map from Knights of the Mediterranean.
