Map 2
Egypt
A larger desert arena with pyramids and a few palm trees. 136 sheep at the start. Sand changes the slide you learned on Ireland, and fences sit in folds of dune that look like open ground until you are already committed.

The hidden fence problem
On Ireland you can usually see the wood. On Egypt the kill lines sit between dunes. If you keep the Ireland habit of full-speed charges across “empty” sand, you will clip a fence that never made it into your silhouette. Slow a little in open-looking stretches. Treat any dip as a possible rail.
Speed is not constant
Unlike Ireland’s more stable pacing, Egypt tends to get faster the longer a match runs. That punishes late panic charges: the same button press travels farther than it did ten minutes ago. Recalibrate after each cluster of explosions instead of repeating the last successful line.
Compare the slide to ice on Sweden, and the charge rules on Physics. The previous map is Ireland.
