—In-game description
The map features a large round lake in the middle with plenty of fish surrounded by an outer ring with Shore Fish. Most of the wood are in rings surrounding the forest or next to the edges of the map. There are multiple herds of three Deer at a distance from the starting Town Center. These are close enough to be pushed by the scout. Maintaining control of the Shore Fish for a player's Villagers to collect is a high priority, necessitating the use of towers or Spearmen if the opponent's pressure is overwhelming. Adding a Dock in the Dark Age is important, as there is plentiful Fish in the pond and the Dock can double as a drop-off point for Villagers collecting Shore Fish.
