    Some nice tips, stay away from the beaches since the raiders will always crash their boats onto the beaches which deals knock back to your troops. Generally try to stay at a higher elevation than your enemy until of course the houses are threatened. Archers are deadly and just probably the best out of the three. Try to utilise choke points a lot as it decreases damage received by a fair bit!

      Yeah and if you have two infantry and a pikeman squad try to surround the area the raiders are landing making a triangle shape with the pikes at the top infantry at the bottom if there is time for it

      Also pikes by ramps leading uphill are really good, they push enemies down the hill while damaging them, useful for protecting archers on hills.

    Maybe you shoulnd't use the mines at the landing sites. The boats seem move too slowly, and the enemies don't get in range in time. Try placing them in the path an enemy will take to get to your buildings.

    Hey Wander bit of advice. Don't have your squads right on the bank where the enemy's land. When their boats hit your soldiers it stuns them a bit. It's best to use any chokepoints available or just create your own and just let them come to you. Also when dealing with shield enemies if your pikes are free you don't need to use your shield guys except for the enemies with shields that throw axes but they come later. Pikes handle regular guys and regular shield guys fine on their own.

    Land Mines are actually Top Tier, but the boats block some of the blast. Set them in paths enemies will take instead and watch the carnage.

    Just dropping some tips..
    1. Don't put your units on the tile where boats land. They get knocked back and gives the enemy free hit on your units. You can instead surround the tile they land on if you have enough units.
    2. Treat pikes as stationary units. If they get caught by the enemy while moving or while knocked back, they are dead meat unless you can manage to retreat and have them regain their composure. Pikes are the best at choke points. Just remember not to have them stand on the choke point tile. Have them guard behind the tile and your enemy will have a hard time getting past them.
    3. Archers suck at the beginning due to low accuracy. But once you get them upgraded, they can easily reduce enemy numbers before they can even land on your island. Converting the commander with knockback passive to archer was a good choice as the knockback helps in clearing boats before they land.
    4. Infantry are good against ranged as they can block attacks. So if you have enemy ranged in coming, you'll want to have your infantry out front so the enemy archer targets them. Or just hide your units behind houses/terrain and rush the archers when they land.

    A few tips to remember (don't read further if you want to see for yourself): high grounds is best (but you know that already, judging from episode 2), block cliffs/access points with troops (you're gonna love pikemen), don't stay on shores where/when boats land, time your healings right (requires a bit of anticipation, which is not easy on the first playthrough), and in the long run try having super-buffed troops (I find that 2 groups of 3 is ideal, although hard to achieve). These tips will let you go a long way, but it's not enough to finish a run: you'll still have to expand your knowledge of the game to anticipate events properly and make the best decisions when the time is right. It's an awesome game (in my GOTY list ever since I first played it) and you'll enjoy it for sure! GLHF.

    Don't put any units on the landing site of the boats. The boats suddenly jump onshore and stun any unit that they hit.
    Basically, pole arms beat everything except range. (And yes, I count beserkers as ranged weapons)

    Picked this up quite recently. such a cool little game. Glad you're enjoying it too.
    you have probs figured this out by now as well, but don't put your dudes right on the beach, as the boats will ram you and it's not good. You should always use the high ground to your advantage when applicable, and lead the foes into chokepoints also. I just started this game myself though as well, so not very good at it myself yet. These are tips I picked up though from other players.

    You're right the game is (at least partially) made by the same guy who also did Townscaper. he used the original algorithm to procedurally create these islands which is super fascinating and Townscaper is a continuation of that idea with non-square tiles

    *DON'T put units and mines on the beach*
    The block stuns your units and blocks some of the damage of the mines
    (Edit: Looks like you figured out the unit part)
    Oh and avoid moving units through pikes unles absolutely necessary. It screws up their formation which makes them more likely to be overrun.

      Archers aren't bad though, they are a pretty great unit, if you get the knock back trait on them and ring of command as well then they can just sweep island by them selves or with them and another unit later in the run. I typically run with two units of archer 1 shield and 1 pike myself but to each their own
