A land-focused MegaRandom option that generates varied layouts. Scout the spawn before settling on a fixed build order.
Overview
A land-focused MegaRandom option that generates varied layouts. Scout the spawn before settling on a fixed build order.
Terrain and layout
A land-only MegaRandom variant: its generator can create winding cliffs, large impassable areas, and Woodlines along map edges, or a more open layout when those features do not appear.
Resources and control
Resources and terrain features are randomized. Sacred Sites may cluster toward the center, and the map can generate several kinds of Points of Interest; Trade Posts may appear in corners.
Player considerations
Check the generation for water before assuming routes, then locate the resource pockets and Points of Interest. Build vision around the terrain your seed actually produced, since no single defensive layout applies to every match.
