The Ebbtide operations map brings city-scale decisions into the same real-time campaign as the battlefield. Players command TF-1 Ark and coordinate forces across Los Angeles before taking the campaign to other regions. This overview covers announced systems, not a tested sequence of mission objectives.
Los Angeles Districts
The published description divides Los Angeles into 15 districts. District conditions can shift between Hold, Crisis and Lost as the outbreak spreads. The Hollywood Hills and Port of Los Angeles are among the locations named in the campaign description. The port is an evacuation destination and a staging point for the wider campaign.
Tactical Zoom and Time Controls
The operations map connects seamlessly to a live 3D pixel-art battlefield. Map controls include pausing and speeds of up to 4x. This allows the campaign to combine a strategic view with direct attention to local battles. See the battlefield overview for the relationship between these views.
Evacuation and Supply Routes
Troop movements, survivor evacuation and supply convoys all form part of the announced campaign. Forward bases depend on ammunition, fuel and delivered construction materials, while the Nexus can attack convoys and cut roads. Read the FOB resupply overview and official Steam description for further details. Exact mission timings and route recommendations await released gameplay.
