With the forest so close, you could even exploit the game mechanics a little if you wanted to.
The gamestage is locked as soon as the horde starts. So if you build a horde base on the border between forest and desert and you quickly run over to the desert after the horde starts, you have a forest horde with a desert lootstage. 😁
