Steppe

Wide flat plains with sparse resources — pure mobility war.

About Steppe

Steppe is similar to Mongolia in that it offers very open terrain with limited tree cover. Wood is scarce, so players who can't transition to gold or trash units quickly fall behind. Hussar civs and cavalry archer civs are the standard meta picks. Slow infantry civs and archer-only civs struggle because they can be raided endlessly. Steppe punishes greedy openings and rewards constant scouting.
