Tips for New Players

[NathanDetr0it]

Here are a few things I've noticed. A lot of these are situational; more proverbs and definitely not 'ultimatums'.

* Before you execute your perfect, tactically sound move: check to see if there is a stupid reckless move that would win you the game.

I don't want to tell you how many games I've won when (on the third or forth 'count') I accidentally discovered I was in position to win or irrecoverably cripple my opponent that turn.

* Make sure the zany reckless move is going to win you the game.

* Don't boost a Runner that your opponent is 99% certain to attack with a non-Runner.

* Don't boost Runners.

* Don't attack the base with a non-adjacent Runner

* Do attack a Base with a non-adjacent Runner if the Base is at 3HP or less.

* There is a huge difference between a base at 4HP and a base at 3HP.

* There is a huge difference between a base at 2HP and a base at 1HP.

* For insta-defense near your spawn, remember that Snipers do three damage at range 3 for 4 wits. No other unit is this efficient.

* Don't attack your enemy's base near the spawn.

* Don't attack until victory is certain.

* Don't attack with less than four units.

* One boosted Soldier in the center is a curiosity; Two are Strong Like Bull.
