Map Presentation:

Enclosed is a semi-open land map that allows for both aggressive and defensive gameplay. Early game aggression isn’t that good as wood and farm eco are both really safe, only gold/stone and berries can be hit. This map is perfect for good economy enjoyers as the woodline between both players will give enough time to boom and play “greedy”. Players can execute really fast strategies as the map contains a lot of early game free food sources.

If you’re a high-level player, I recommend checking out the advanced guide for in-depth strategies and advanced insights which you can adapt to the map.

  • Practice your Dark Age efficiency and stick to a solid build order.

  • Lure all your deers as fast as possible

  • Prioritize managing your own economy over damaging your opponent’s.

  • Never idle your Town Center.

  • Finish your berries as quick as possible to have only gold exposed.

  • Wall your exposed villagers on the way to feudal age

  • Secure your base early with short walls connecting to your Town Center making it as large as possible to have more farming space.

  • Scout your opponent well and adapt your strategy accordingly.

  • Play to your civilization’s strengths, whether it’s military units or economic bonuses.

  • Don’t hesitate to build a defensive tower in Feudal Age on your gold, dying with 200 stone in the bank is a waste!

  • In Castle Age, play for map control and punish greedy booms with a forward castle. 

  • Use castles to control key hills and extra golds as the game progresses.

  • Relics are easy to pick up so you should go for them ! 
  • Always make a 2nd TC near your main gold and a small woodline.
  • Having a market is quite nice as it’s hard to balance your eco on this map.

  • Keep making your buildings from the edge of the map to the rocky terrain to make your base as safe as possible with only 1-2 openings.

    Recommended Build Orders: (all build orders require a defensive tower on gold, no need for more)

      Suggested Gameplan:

      Dark Age:

      • Focus on executing your build order.

      • Scout your map properly and lure all your deers.

      Feudal Age:

      • Complete your build order and go to the castle age not too late

      • Add counter units based on what your opponent is creating.

      Castle Age:

      • Build a second Town Center on your gold to protect it.

      • Stick to two Town Centers to maintain military pressure.

      • Add more counter units as needed.

      • Take map control and put pressure on the front of your opponent’s base.

      • Once you gain map control, pick up relics, take a lot of stone and look to drop a forward castle near your opponent to hit his base.

      • Make outposts on the other side to see where he expands his economy or sneaks army to your base.
