Four Lakes is a open hybrid map that features both land and water action. Thanks to the strong fish economy, games often include large armies and early land battles. Each match can play out differently, as players may prioritize water or land based on situational factors.
A solid build order is essential, making this a great map to practice the early game and improve your multitasking skills.
