🗺️ Tactical Map Positioning

Map control is everything in Season 1 — whether you’re expanding your own server, invading others, or defending from incoming wars. This guide explains how to position your bases, Outposts, and alliance territory for maximum impact.

🧭 Base Placement Strategy

• During kill days and city wars:
  • Port near rally points or targets for faster marches
  • Avoid clustering too tightly (virus bombs can hit multiple bases)
  • On defense, form a reinforceable hive within alliance territory

Tips:

• Keep 1–2 relocators and shields on hand at all times
• Always port in AFTER war declaration for surprise rallies
• Keep weaker players in protected areas during wars

🌐 Outpost Deployment (Week 3+)

• Outposts let you capture strongholds and cities in other Warzones
• You can place 1 per Warzone, up to 4 total
• Must be built on neutral tiles, costs Immune Protein

Recommended Strategy:

🔗 City & Stronghold Chains

• You must chain territory from your alliance HQ or Outpost
• Losing a key stronghold can cut access to connected cities
• Prioritize defending choke points and bridge tiles

Recommended Priorities:

• Build from L1 strongholds → L3–L5 cities
• Always keep 1–2 backup paths if your forward tile is lost

🏛️ Capital Pathing (End of Season)

• The City of Apocalypse opens at the end of the season
• Position alliances near L6 cities adjacent to the Capital
• Coordinate with coalition to assign paths, buffers, and rally zones

📦 Backup Planning

• Have an “anchor” city or stronghold to fall back to if overrun
• Use rotation strategy with allied alliances to extend protection
• Don’t overextend territory — it spreads your defenses thin
