There are three teams to choose from: Ironheade, The Drowning Doom and The Tainted Coil. Communication is key and teammates will need to figure out their roles quickly to maximize your resources. If you play with more than two people, the others join the team with their own avatars, but they share all resources. That would be pretty boring though, and you'd get your ass kicked.

The Circle of Tears map is completely surrounded by water, while the Death's Fjord map takes place in an icy mountain path, where players must brave wide open spaces in order to reach the fan geysers needed to generate units.
