    A handy road trick is building a road going out toward a village you want to capture. If the tile your unit is on and the next tile have roads, the unit can move a second tile after moving along the road, even if the destination tile doesn't have a road.
    Also, forests block multi tile movement of units such as riders, but not if they have a road. However, enemies can't use roads in your territory, so growing forests on your roads can hinder invasions!

    • @GullYYGamer
      @GullYYGamer  หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      Yeah I think maybe Midjiwan could adjust the feature to only highlight units that can move, then maybe cycle to units that can also attack? Or maybe mark a unit as "no actions" for the turn so the cycle can skip that unit? Idk, seems like a lot of complexity for a fringe feature. At the same time there's plenty of times I want to move a unit but not attack with it

    • @Sgrunterundt

      @@GullYYGamer They should have a feature to end a units turn. A pass action that greys the unit out and prevents it from coming up on the active unit cycling again, that you can use if you don't want to take any more actions with that unit this turn.

  • @amongusztav655

    Funny thing I've been playing polytopia since it was released amd I didn't know about the unit moved or not indicator until now. People on forums simply suggested to check if the rider can recover or if it can attack nearby units because they didn't know about this feature either 😅

  • @tomo9126
    @tomo9126 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Regarding tip 5: I wish they had a "Done" option for a unit. I moved him but I don't want him to attack. That way it won't keep telling me I still have units to move and I can get to the blue "End Turn" icon.
    Tip 6: Let the enemy move a giant into your city if you have it surrounded with his or your units and maybe some water. Fill in the area where he moved from and then produce a giant. Their giant dies. (I only play bots, so this probably won't work against human players.)

    @seventeen777 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I feel like the 7th point is already explained through the description of roads itself, something better could have been the fact that unclaimed villages also have a built in road on the tile, so if you have a unit next to an unclaimed village you can get away with only building 1 road to move it instead of needing 2

    A boosted polaris knight on ice with the polartism tech will let you move like 10 tiles across the map but it's so nich it will probably never happen in a live game. I have a video on my channel of me doing it in an offline game.

    You can use the damage calculator in reverse as well. If you select an enemy unit within range of your units and then hover/hold on your unit, you can see how much damage an enemy can do to you next round.

    I know you stated that clicking the tribe icon to exit the Tech Tree doesn't provide a competitive advantage but that action, rather than reaching to the top left corner of my phone every time I exit the Tech Tree, has saved me time and energy which is very important during Live Games.
    One tactic I employ during Live Games while on Steam is using my right hand for the mouse and my left just for the 'Esc' button. It's pretty handy to use a free hand to exit the Tech Tree or Info tabs instead of the Game Stats tab rather than dragging and clicking the exit buttons with a cursor.

    Oh my, one of the parts that was known information about the clicking a unit to see if it will kill yours through retaliation with the black cross on the units circle I didn't actually know because I am colorblind. I looked for so long to try and see what you were talking about, didn't see it, then tried looking specifically at the circle and noticed that the barely noticeable darker parts of the red circle were even there 🥲I want colorblind mode. luckily I found the calculator thing on my own, as well as most of the other stuff without this video.

    You can delete a sieging unit by surrounding the sieging unit then upgrading the village and selecting a super unit. Since the unit has no place to go, it just gets deleted.
