📅 Tactical Tuesday – Terrain is Tactics

[p]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[/p][h3][/h3][h3]📅 Tactical Tuesday – Terrain is Tactics[/h3][p]In Shields of Loyalty, brute force alone doesn’t win wars. Knowing the battlefield — and how to use it — is just as vital as your unit composition.[/p][p]From ancient ruins to storm-ridden fields, every tile holds potential. A skilled tactician studies the land before making a move.[/p][hr][/hr][p]🔍 Master the Battlefield:[/p][p]🏰 Structures = Cover & Consequence
Ruins, towns, and castles provide defensive bonuses. Beware though — siege units deal extra damage to enemies inside these fortified tiles.[/p][p]⚡ Weather Isn’t Just Cosmetic Lightning strikes, fire, and ice rain change battlefield conditions. They can hinder movement, reduce visibility, or even damage units — plan ahead![/p][p]🧭 Choke Points and Flanks
Use bridges and narrow valleys to control enemy movement. Place durable infantry to block — then send fast units around the side for devastating flanks.[/p][p]🧱 Height = Advantage
Ranged units on elevated ground get an increased attack range. High ground isn’t just cinematic — it’s tactical.[/p][p]🌲 Terrain Affects Unit Types
• Cavalry thrives on open plains, allowing better mobility and charge effectiveness.
• Infantry performs better in forests, where movement is slower, but cover is greater.
• Different tiles affect different units — so explore, experiment, and adapt.

🛩️ Flying Units Bypass Terrain
Ideal for surprise attacks and quick retreats, flying units are your best bet when the battlefield gets messy.
