The first two landing zones are available for 1v1 on opposite sides. Remaining four landing zones are available with 3 or more players.

File:Platinum-rank-icon.png Landing Zone Allocation

If there are not enough landing zones for the number of armies then random landing zones will be created.

ie make sure min and max are correct so that lobby highlighting works if the are too many armies.

Landing zones are currently allocated to armies in the order provided.

ie the first available landing zone will be allocated to the first army in slot 1.

Shared teams are considered a single army so will be allocated identically to FFA.

ie 2v2 shared is created as 2 armies with 4 players.

Unshared Team Armies

Unshared team armies are currently an issue for map makers.

ie 2v2 unshared is created as 4 armies.

Until scenarios are implemented the current recommendation is a separate version of maps for unshared team armies.
