Hello everyone,
I wanted to share the settings I use for this map. If you enjoy playing it, feel free to share your own settings and explain why you use them. I'm always interested in trying new approaches.
Most importantly, a huge thank you to Rama and AKarmy01 for creating this amazing mod.
About the Map
The map features a unique gameplay flow. The first 8–10 minutes are an intense build-up phase where build power is limited and every decision matters. This is followed by heavy combat, resource shortages, and a final stage where build power once again becomes a critical bottleneck. No matter how experienced you are, you will constantly have to adapt to changing challenges.
Depending on your starting position, securing enough energy can become a challenge of its own. At the same time, surviving alone is almost impossible, making teamwork essential. Victory requires a coordinated team that can support each other throughout the entire game.
With 11 different playable positions, the map offers excellent long-term variety and replayability. Some positions are thrown straight into the action from the very first minute, while others enjoy a calmer start before eventually facing their own intense challenges later in the game.
I recommend 8–9 players for the best overall experience.
Fewer players make the map significantly easier.
More players tend to slow the game down too much.
Do not allow players with a CPU score above 150–200, as this can negatively affect performance for everyone.
Settings & Reasoning
Overall Settings
- Unit Count
Too many land and naval units tend to block each other and create pathfinding issues.
- Air Units
Air units create the most dynamic gameplay. They engage quickly, die quickly, and generate reclaim rapidly, which helps player progression.
Because air units are short-lived, they also place less strain on performance compared to large numbers of land units.
- Air Balance
More air units means more action and more fun.
For that reason, I prefer not to modify:
Unit HP
Damage
Speed
- Performance Adjustments
If the game becomes too slow due to excessive unit counts or reclaim:
Reduce Air from 40 to 32
Increase damage by roughly 20–30%
Set reclaim to despawn after 3 minutes
I do not support Reclaim Turret mods. In my opinion, learning how to use reclaim efficiently is a core part of the game and a skill every player should develop.
The settings I use on this map are ideal for making reclaim more accessible and rewarding for players who are still learning how important it is.
If you notice a teammate who isn't using reclaim, I would really appreciate it if you took a moment to ask whether they'd like to learn more about it—just as I do. Teaching newer players how to use reclaim effectively helps both the player and the community as a whole.
Slot Roles & Player Limits
Three slots are closed and replaced with Mex spawns.
Two of those locations simply do not provide enough room to build a proper base.
The third closed slot (top-left area) reduces enemy spawn pressure and makes the position easier to defend. It also encourages players to occupy the remaining slots, creating a more balanced match.

How to Win
The map can be completed using almost any strategy:
Land, Navy, Air, Experimentals, Game Enders, Nukes, TML
However, combined-arms strategies generally have the highest chance of success.
Recommended Strategy
-
Destroy or Capture Rift Orbs
-
Rush Monkeylords
One to three players should rush Monkeylords and move them toward the second HQ as quickly as possible.
Recommended slots:
1, 2, 10, 13
Use at least two Monkeylords and snipe the second HQ from the water between waves.
- Weaken HQ Defenses
ECO players should get two Scathis online as soon as possible and focus fire on the HQ to weaken its defenses.
- Destroy Support Bases
ECO Player uses Nukes, TML, Game Ender to destroy all Support bases
- Naval Siege
Use MML ships to continuously siege the HQ.
Seraphim Carriers are particularly effective because: MML, AA and a safe Air Production
Once the HQ's defenses have been weakened (see Step 2), even T1 and T2 bombers can contribute significant damage.
- Final Assault
Gather T4 land units and reinforcements beneath the naval siege force.
If necessary, launch a coordinated T4 land assault between waves.
A well-timed T4 push against the HQ can secure victory.
