+Understanding Spatial Tactics
+<br>In the chaotic, fast-paced environment of a [tower rush](https://expeditiebroeikaswereld.nl), it is incredibly easy to believe that victory is simply a matter of who has the bigger army. Every single tile on the map possesses inherent strategic value, dictating how effectively units can attack, defend, or retreat. A slow, fragile splash-damage unit (The Rock) should theoretically die instantly to a fast, ranged sniper (The Paper). Prepare to view the battlefield not as a sandbox, but as a rigid, exploitable chessboard of tactical opportunities.<br>
+Choke Points and Concaves
+<br>The most critical geographical features on any map are 'choke points'—narrow ramps, bridges, or valleys that restrict unit movement. Never march your fragile, high-damage units through a narrow gap first; they will evaporate instantly. Professional players spend the entire 'dancing' phase before a battle desperately maneuvering to secure a wider concave than their opponent. A perfect surround is the most satisfying and lethal maneuver in all of real-time strategy.<br>
+
+If you hold the top of a ramp, the enemy must blindly walk up into your fire, taking massive damage before they can even see what is shooting them.
+Wait until their vulnerable backline is exposed, then instantly swarm out of the brush to trap and destroy them.
+Do not place a tower right on the edge of a cliff where an enemy sniper can shoot it from maximum range while remaining safe.
+If you place your primary research laboratory near the front wall, a single enemy siege tank can destroy it, crippling your entire long-term strategy.
+In mobile tower rush games, the exact tile you deploy a unit on dictates its 'aggro' (targeting) priority and pathing.
+
+Dynamic Combat
+<br>Positioning is not just about where you stand before the fight; it is about how you move during the chaos of the engagement. By manually issuing a move command the instant the projectile leaves your unit's weapon, you maximize your movement time without sacrificing your damage output. Standing still during a major engagement is almost always a guaranteed death sentence. Finally, be hyper-aware of the 'body blocking' mechanics of your own units; large tanks will literally block small infantry from moving forward.<br>

+Positional ConceptHow to Do ItThe Advantage
+The FunnelForcing a large army to walk through a narrow gap to reach you.Negates numerical superiority and maximizes splash damage efficiency.
+The ConcaveSpreading your army in a semi-circle around a clumped enemy force.Maximizes your total DPS while minimizing the enemy's ability to return fire.
+Target ManipulationDeploying cheap units to drag enemy bosses away from your main towers.Forces enemies to walk longer distances, maximizing the time they take free damage.
+Stutter-SteppingMoving your ranged units immediately after they fire to cancel the backswing.Allows fragile ranged units to kill slow melee units without ever taking damage.
+
+<br>Learn to read the terrain, exploit the choke points, and command the high ground to secure your dominance. Did you fight in a terrible, narrow line while the enemy formed a beautiful concave around you? Do not be afraid to surrender an expansion or a forward base if defending it requires you to take a fight in a terrible position. Spend time in custom maps practicing your stutter-stepping and kiting micro with various ranged units until it becomes rhythmic muscle memory. Good luck, commander, and never fight in a choke point unless you own it.</p
