Guide to pushing workers and advanced unit placement (splits)

[Praise Kek]

Where can I find a guide for advanced unit placement (how to properly split with ranged units) and also worker milestones and when to best push? I'm trying to learn but I can't find any guides that suit what I'm looking for.

You can always look in the top players games a try their strats

this guides a little dated but the workers section is still very true: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1793195628

splits is real easy, the center two columns next to the very center column is where the wave comes out on, traveling downwards, mercenaries come out all at once, with higher cost going rightmost.

to do ranged splits you want a mix of different ranges, the bigger the gap in range difference the easier the split will be. also, keep in mind of flying units, they travel a little faster, think about one gridsquare's worth of lead room for them unless you have them up front. keep in mind some waves have faster moving enemies like wave 5 and 16.

i recommend going into sandbox mode as hybrid and rolling for your fighters you want to experiment with or copy wave builds people have done (you can do this by clicking on their fighter layout when viewing match details on a wave to copy the build)
