What Transfers from SRPG Studio Games (community estimates)

SRPG Studio is a well-known engine for Fire Emblem-style tactics games, so these habits usually pay off:

• Terrain matters. Forests, gates and chokepoints typically modify defence and evasion — check a tile before standing on it. (community estimate)
• Turn order is leverage. Baiting enemies into your counter-attack range one wave at a time is the classic opening move. (community estimate)
• Retreat is a tactic. Falling back to a heal point or chokepoint beats a fair fight you might lose. (community estimate)
