Mountain Clearing

Overview

Control of a deep mountain clearing is contested; limited space and resources make the central fight important.

Terrain and layout

Impassable mountains and forest ring a compact central arena, forcing players to start close together and bringing most objectives into the contested middle.

Resources and control

There are no Trade Posts. Sacred Sites and Relics cluster near the center; wood is mostly behind starting Town Centers, with Gold, Stone, and food close to the players.

Player considerations

Expect early contact and keep the first army near exposed workers. The single central approach and short distances make map control more urgent than a long economic setup.
