IV. Moving Tips

Since Metal Knights is a turn based game, getting the most movement out of your units is essential.

Cut corners by moving diagonally whenver possible. This can save several movement points.

Move one square at a time rather than several. You can plan a more efficient route to your destination than the computer can.

Use transports extensively to extend range for almost all units. You can give Panther units a huge boost by loading them in a transport, moving the transport, then moving the Panther. This also works with the Hercule transport plane and the cargo transport ship. A shark and cargo can be used in tandem to greatly extend the range of a shark. Transports and infantry are essential.

Always move on roads whenever possible. If you are moving frequently offroad (between resources for example), it may be worth the money to get a bulldozer and begin laying roads between destinations.

Farms, resources, and cities only use up 1 movement point.
