Terrain sculpting tips: chokepoints and walls

Sculpting is the most unusual mechanic in Bastion Isles, and the one that wins games.

What it does

Tap a land tile to raise it into a ridge that units cannot cross. Tap a ridge to flatten it again. You have three charges per match. You cannot sculpt near the keeps, and you cannot split the island in two.

Good uses

• Funnel: block all but one approach to your keep.
• Detour: lengthen the enemy’s path so your archers get more shots.
• Shortcut: flatten a ridge to open a flank for cavalry.

Mistakes

Do not wall in your own army, and do not sculpt a tile where a unit stands.
