Strategies and Tips
The map has a few corners which can be used to defend small continent bonuses. It’s good strategy to go after one of these early.
Use the high ground when possible as the hills attack with advantage.
Gondolin is a very useful place to acquire, for it’s +2 bonus, defensive advantage, and it’s one-way attack outlets.
Doriath, the forest realm in the board’s center, defends with advantage. Even nearby hills have their attack advantage nullified (thus resulting in regular dice). It’s often a good place to fall back on when dice aren’t going your way early. Due to it’s central location, there are some key strategic corner locations within Doriath.
