Map presentation:

Glade is a closed map where you have to wall the front of your base in order to be safe. This gives you safety early on, allowing you to focus on building your economy or executing Castle Age-focused strategies. Games on Glade often go into the imperial age, where having space will be crucial. Compared to other closed maps, Glade features more army for map control and gaining space.
