However, beneath the surface of this apparent chaos lies a rigid, highly predictable set of rules governing Artificial Intelligence.
This article will dissect the mathematics of sightlines, retargeting, and unit hitboxes to help you manipulate the AI flawlessly.
Vision and Targeting
When a unit is deployed or finishes destroying a target, it scans its specific sight range for the closest valid enemy.
As long as you place a building just barely inside the tank's sight range, the tank will alter its path and walk toward your building.
- Building-targeting units usually have larger sight ranges.
- Place distractions closer to them.
- A fast unit will cross tiles quickly, altering the math.
Manipulating the Z-Axis and Hitboxes
Large tanks have massive hitboxes, meaning melee defenders can attack them from slightly further away than smaller troops.
The physical mass of the tank will actually push the Miner backward, forcing him to lose range on the tower and retarget onto the tank.
| AI Logic | Tactical Application |
|---|---|
| Closest Target Logic | The enemy will always hit the skeleton first |
| Vision Refresh | The tower will rescan and target the swarm |
Drilling the Mechanics
You must spend hours in friendly battles practicing these specific interactions until they become pure muscle memory.
Control the aggro, control the arena.
