Map Features
- Path Layout: Different maps have different path shapes (straight, curved, loops). Corner placement is key for maximizing unit range coverage.
- Wave Length: Longer maps require more units and economy scaling.
- Spawn Cadence: Difficulty modes affect how quickly enemies spawn, not just their health.
Choosing the Right Map
- New players: Start with Easy mode on any map to learn mechanics.
- Mid-game: Normal mode with A-tier loadout.
- Hard mode: Follow Arsinix's Hard Mode tutorial specifically — it requires Marksmen + Minigunner + Farms.
