Description[]
Rath was designed as an experimental version of Thar to test V2 gameplay rules.
Rath has 6 Socketed Outposts, 4 controlled by neutrals, and each team controlling one Outpost near their Fortress. A Lockbox spawner sits in the middle of the map. It first spawns at the 90 seconds mark and continues to spawn in 5 minutes intervals after that.
It is nearly identical to Thar but is lacking a middle. In addition, some changes (most notably, the widening of the island) which affected Thar did not affect Rath (because Thar is in the map pool while Rath is not).
Strategy[]
See Thar for strategies.
Strategies on Rath are very similar to Thar. The major exception though is the lack of a middle. Because of this, the bottom island outpost is very important and pushing is a lot harder. Cheese is even stronger than on Thar because it allows you to establish a direct pathway to the enemy fortress in the absence of a middle outpost.
