What map is in play on Ares?
The map on Ares is procedural, made by the game.
How is Ares configured, and what rules apply?
Nothing in the name of Ares gives a gather rate. Groups top out at 8 players, the default for the game. Play runs as survival, gather, build and raid, as in the standard game. Raids and player fights are part of play here. In the server browser it sits under Modded: the game is changed by plugins or settings. Oxide plugins are running on it. By its own description it is vanilla: nothing is changed: rates, kits and rules are as Facepunch ships them. VAC is on, Valve's anti-cheat.
