Introduction Extreme Global Warming is a map with a grim prediction of the future: human pollution and greenhouse gases have raised the Earth's temperature causing drought and other natural disasters. Sea levels, dramatically risen, have caused widespread flooding especially in the world's coastal areas; and the equator is so hot it is now essentially uninhabitable.

How to play Extreme Global Warming show: Starting regions
2 players: 15/player, 16 starting neutral regions
show: Recommended settings
Extreme Global Warming is not recommended for 1v1 due to an even bigger advantage to going first than on other maps, for reasons that will be explained later. Barring that, most other settings will work fine for this map, as it will work quite similarly to other classic-style maps, even though it may look confusing. Manual is a feasible option for this map, since unless it is 1v1, it will be unlikely that there will be a stack-on-stack confrontation of troops first turn.
show: Two Player
Each player starts off with 15 regions, with 16 starting off as neutral regions. Because of this fact, the first player to play in a 1v1 game on this map has an even bigger advantage than on other maps, because he/she only needs to conquer 1 of the opponent's regions to bring their next-turn deploy from 5 to 4, as opposed to the Classic map, in which a player needs to lose 3 regions on their first turn to move down from 4 deploy to 3.

Escalating: No spoils and flat rate: Nuclear:
show: Assassin
Assassin is a completely different game from every other game type, regardless of deployment and spoils. While it is easier for everyone without fog of war, it is much more fun with it. One important fact to keep in mind is that, especially in fog of war, do not randomly assault, looking for your target. If you assault someone else, especially a bigger stack, you could be opening that player up for elimination by their assassin. Therefore, it is always advised to keep a tab on how many regions each person has, with the built-in region counter. If someone is low on regions, but they're blocking your target, see if you can find a way around, or wait until he/she moves.
show: Team Games
If your team can take the entire southern half of Africa and Tristan de Cuhna, you can essentially create a barrier for whoever is behind there, since there is only one way into that area. This is a good way to protect a weak teammate if they have a region there.Doubles: Triples: Quadruples:
