Tactics in NetStorm

All units will always choose the closest available target. Once locked, they will keep at it until destroyed. Certain defensive units, like Towers, can be interposed to force the attacker to choose a new target. The closest target will be chosen even if it is invulnerable to the attacker!

When a unit explodes cracked bridge nearby will also crumble. Normal bridge that was adjacent to the unit will crack, or become a jagged end.

When shooting units explode they also damage every other unit nearby! They may explode from that damage in a chain reaction. Temples also explode in this way.

Salvaging a unit does not cause such an explosion, but bridge is affected in the same way, as if the unit had exploded.

You can build units 1) on your home island, 2) on any un-owned island which is connected by bridges to your home island, or 3) off of any bridge that you own.

When you destroy an enemy unit you get 25% of its Storm Power value. Remember that Whirligigs and Man o' War cost no additional Storm Power to build, and thus return none to you when destroyed. Only their bases will do so.

When you are targeting an enemy, remember that you must shoot the area where it meets the ground. If your shots are hitting its upper areas, then you're not really shooting it at all.
