In many strategy games, victory is determined by who possesses the strongest army or the most resources.

Understanding how to exploit these geographical restrictions is the key to executing flawless defenses and devastating attacks.
The Ultimate Choke Point
Allowing the enemy to cross the bridge and spread out into your wider territory is a massive tactical error.

A single Wizard or Executioner placed perfectly can annihilate a massive swarm while they are clumped together on the bridge.
Use cheap units to physically block the bridge.Anti-air defenses must be placed differently than ground defenses.Keep pressure on the river to stop offensive mortars or x-bows. Architectural Defense
By placing buildings in specific locations, you limit the available pathing options for the enemy AI.

You are essentially building a custom trap that the enemy AI is mathematically forced to walk into.
