Canal

Overview

A wide canal runs from base to base through fertile land, shaping resource access and attack routes.

Terrain and layout

Teams begin in opposite corners divided by a mostly deep-water canal. A single land crossing near the middle links the two sides, while shallow water around the starting corners can be crossed by land units and ships.

Resources and control

Starting resources differ by position and can be limited, pushing players toward the contested middle. Shoreline Fish lines the canal, but Wood is scarce; the north and south plateaus hold corner Sacred Sites and Trade Posts, with additional Sites nearer the canal.

Player considerations

Use ships to threaten canal routes while keeping land forces ready for the central crossing. Scout your spawn’s resource coverage and reach the shared Wood early; on this map position changes how safely you can establish an economy.
