Salt

Overview
Salt is a hostile map region described as a saline wasteland at the edge of a desert. Resources are scarce across the area, and enemy forces have already established a concentrated resource storage area that serves as the focal point of their defenses. The clear objective on this map is to destroy the enemies' core and leave nothing behind; the region narrative explicitly directs players to break the core and eliminate their holdings.
The environment is defined by its poor resources and harsh terrain, which shapes every stage of play. Because natural deposits and easily harvested materials are limited, engagements on
Salt emphasize careful planning and efficiency rather than brute-force expansion. The enemy-held resource storage acts as both the primary target and the main source of supplies if captured or destroyed; it therefore becomes the logical center of operations for offensive or containment actions.
Players approaching
Salt should treat the map as a contest for scarce assets and a single decisive objective. The campaign and base-defence goals revolve around neutralizing the enemy infrastructure completely; partial disruption is not the stated outcome. Control of the area requires focusing effort on the enemy core and the storage site that supports it.
- Prioritize objectives: the explicit mission on
Salt is the destruction of the enemy core. Operations should be organized so that assaults concentrate on reaching and demolishing the core rather than protracted resource gathering in the open field. - Conserve resources: because the map is described as resource-poor, use units and buildings efficiently. Avoid wasteful deployments and favor strategies that achieve the core objective with minimal resource expenditure.
- Target the storage: the enemy resource storage is a strategic node. Disrupting or overrunning this site diminishes the enemy’s ability to reinforce and resupply, making a core strike more feasible.
- Plan for limited recovery: the wasteland setting implies fewer fallback options for reestablishing supply lines. Secure any temporary gains immediately and convert captured assets into usable support for the final assault.
- Decisive action: the map’s narrative stresses total destruction of the enemy core. Once a viable path to the core is established, press the attack to completion rather than settling for partial damage that allows the enemy to regroup.
Salt’s defining characteristics—scarce resources, a concentrated enemy storage, and a single decisive objective—create a focused, efficiency-driven play experience. Success depends on economical planning, concentrated strikes on the enemy’s supply hub, and committing to a complete neutralization of the opposing core.
