Minimap of Lake Chad
| “ | Teams have settled on the opposite shores of Lake Chad. Depending on the season, this large, unique lake will be either wet or dry, presenting different strategic options. Controlling the lake is crucial, but be warned: you will not be able to call on your home city for naval support on this map, as there are no water shipment points this far from the coast. | ” |
