Expansions w/o Extra Cities?

Noticed majority or as always are dedicated for premium members and gameplay with extra cities. Are there any without-casual gameplay. Would aid us noobs. Many Thanks

If I got it right, you are saying that there is no "opening theory" (basic expansions) for maps w/o extra cities.
I guess you are right. Most expansion threads and YouTube vids are done by competitive players and, thus, focused (mostly) on EU+/10k/+100/3v3 environment. Some expansions are for WG/10k/+100.
Check those and adapt them to your reality (no extra cities and limited upgrades).

My Coal provided such information but then again, most games available (in the Main lobby ofc) has no extra cities. Extra Cities does happen during Coal training competitions, CWs or if ever someone opens one.

It would be much appreciated if any of you Pros can aid us noobs with this.

If you see me on, ask me to host a non rank limit 3v3. I'd be glad to help someone who is willing.

If you watch expansions with extra cities you can have a decent idea of what countries you could take, even without them

Obviously your expansion will be smaller because you have less reinforcements but you can take ideas from the "pro" expansions and use them in your normal games that don't have extra cities.
