Land Size & Layout

Bigger lands fit in more resource deposits and players

Bigger lands have more surface, so they hold more resource deposits and fit in more players; however, they'll require additional effort to defend from alien invasions.

The layout of the land includes its buildable space shape, how many entrances does it have and their location. Some lands will have more open spaces, which may allow for faster transportation (because a unit may be able to go from point A to point B in a straight line), while others will have narrower passageways, which will be easier to defend in case of attack.

The amount of buildable space, entrances and deposits is the same for all lands of the same size (i.e. all Large Lands will have the same number of entrances, etc).

There are no building requirements that demand a land of a given size, so all current structures can be constructed on a land of any size.

Formerly called 2x2 lands.

This land is a perfect fit for one player, as it has enough resource deposits to establish production, while being compact enough to ensure easier defense. Two players should also feel comfortable in this area and enjoy tight collaboration.

Medium

Formerly called 4x4 lands.

A relatively large piece of land that is difficult to mount and defend alone. But united in a group of four people, you can both effectively squeeze out resources and repel attacks on this territory.

Large

Formerly called 8x8 lands.

The territory is vast enough to puzzle over the organization of production and protection. Having eight players should be enough to maximise the production, provided they are effectively cooperating. But in fact, this land can accommodate even more people with something to do for each of them.

Enormous

Formerly called 16x16 lands.

Here, even sixteen players can settle freely. There should be enough resources and space for everyone. However, only an organised group of players can reveal the true potential of this territory - it is impossible to establish effective production and defense without cooperation.
