Path drawing for single units

Players sometimes try to draw a path for units to follow. This works only when you have a single unit selected. Drawing a movement line while multiple units are selected distributes move orders to each unit along that line. If you want one unit to follow a specific route, select only that unit first.

When wind is the best power option

At roughly 11 or 12 consistent wind, wind turbines become both more metal-efficient and more time-efficient than other energy options. Below that threshold, solar or fusion may be the better play depending on your economy. Check the wind reading on a map before committing to wind-heavy infrastructure.

Practice and sandbox

If you want to practice strategies, set up custom lobbies where you control both sides. Some players use instabuild and resource cheats to test unit matchups. Custom game settings let you tweak most parameters.
