Greetings, commanders! Today, I'm thrilled to unveil a feature inspired by the brilliant minds of our community – Battle Tactics! This exciting addition injects a layer of strategic depth into your military campaigns, allowing you to outmaneuver your foes and claim glorious victories.

[h3]Harnessing the Power of Maneuver[/h3]
Battle Tactics are specialized maneuvers employed by your armies on the battlefield. Each tactic offers unique advantages and drawbacks, empowering you to tailor your approach based on the situation. From weathering enemy assaults to flanking their formations, Battle Tactics give you the tools to exploit enemy weaknesses and seize the upper hand.

[h3]Let's delve into the four core Battle Tactics available[/h3]



[h3]Careful Advance[/h3]
Units Attack: +0

This tactic prioritizes minimizing casualties while maintaining pressure. Units advance cautiously, maintaining their standard attack power while receiving a defensive bonus. It's ideal for closing the distance on a weakened enemy or weathering a heavy enemy assault.

[h3]Defensive Hold[/h3]
Units Attack: -2
Units Defense: +3
This tactic transforms your army into an unyielding wall. Units take a penalty to their attack power but gain a significant defensive boost. This tactic is perfect for fortifying a position, protecting key objectives, or blunting the momentum of a charging enemy force.

Mastering Battle Tactics takes practice and a keen understanding of the battlefield dynamics.
