Editing Tricks (section)

=== Grand Theft Boat ===
Related to the above, this is a hilarious tactic which involves stranding an enemy hero on a desert island. Tactics like having a secondary hero rescue the primary one are usually too advanced for the AI, so you can take a powerful army out of the game with this simple trick. There are several ways to pull it off:

1. A means of water-walking, flying or [[Dimension Door]] and either [[Scuttle Boat]] or the [[Admiral's Hat]]. If you catch an enemy disembarking on a small island, get to the island using one of the aforementioned methods, then either scuttle their boat and get away (usually only possible with Dimension Door), or grab their boat and set sail.
2. You can do this with just the Admiral's Hat: land on an island, let the enemy land to attack you, scuttle one boat and abscond with the other.
3. Same as the above, but with just Scuttle Boat: let the enemy land to attack you and scuttle both your boats, trapping the two of you. Then use [[Town Portal]], engage the enemy then retreat/surrender, or sacrifice your hero.

This will not work if the enemy has water-walking, flying, Dimension Door, Town Portal or (possibly) Summon Boat.
