Water and land routes combine, making shoreline control useful for movement and economy.
Overview
Water and land routes combine, making shoreline control useful for movement and economy.
Terrain and layout
Two long, offset mountain ranges frame a central lake, with a smaller lake in each of two opposite corners. The ranges and water separate players over a long distance, while short outer lanes make defensive walls practical.
Resources and control
The central lake supports Deep Water Fish and all three lakes provide Shore Fish. Gold is plentiful for a hybrid map, but large woodlines are scarce. Sacred Sites run along the central axis; Trade Posts occupy the corners not taken by lakes.
Player considerations
Scout the lake locations and mountain gaps before investing in Docks or walls. In team games, each side can be aligned along a range, so coordinate pressure and access to crossings rather than committing all forces to one lane.
