Overview

A water-focused start that rewards moving toward stronger positions and managing transport.

Terrain and layout

Each player begins on a small island, with a larger central island as the main expansion area. Water separates the starts, and Stealth Kelp Forests can interrupt ship vision.

Resources and control

Starting islands have limited room and resources. The central island adds more space and land resources, while Deep Water and Shoreline Fish support naval gathering.

Player considerations

Prepare transport and naval cover early, then move to the central island before the starting economy runs short. The central Trade Post is contestable, and Relics there add another reason to secure a landing.
