On the left we have provided a variety of map templates for players to choose from, and we first choose a template we are familiar with.

What is a map template?

Map templates are preset templates that contain the main rules of gameplay. Players only need to select the template they like and then easily adjust various parameters of gameplay in the editor.

When creating the map, we preset a number of mainstream map templates for players, including Clash Squad, HideAndSeek and GunKing. These are very familiar gameplay methods for players FF daily games.
