General tips for ranked maps

Is there any video,guide or tips page for the different maps? If not, let's discuss here.

Any good tips I will add to the description (with your name in brackets). Thanks!

Here are my general findings for the different maps:

Nomad:

• Build your TC as soon as possible next to wood
• Send a villager to the side of the map to build a dock + fishing as soon as you have the wood
• Drushing is usually less effective due to good town center placement near wood

Team Islands:

• Try to have buildings around your coastline to see landings, or at least let your scout patrol the coastline (shift click around your island)
• Go early for water

Gold Rush:

• Don't build casual buildings or farms in the middle of the map, just build fortifications there and mine gold.

Arena:

• Fetch your sheep outside the walls immediately, people can easily steal them (more than other maps)
• Build your buildings against the wall for extra defense, it also helps against siege towers
• Don't waste time in feudal age, there is nothing you can do there (except the Cumans perhaps)

Arabia:

• Rushing has more potential here than on most other maps

Mega Random:

• Scouting is super important here, more so than on other maps. So if you don't get a scout, do it with a villager, a sheep or any other unit.

Steppe:

• Spread out your villagers to the side of the map to find a good location near wood

Black forest:

• I don't play this, but any tips are welcome
