Limer, think about a battlefield that changes like a dream—how would you plot its strategy?
Limer
Picture a field that morphs each night—trees turn to rivers, hills become velvet pillows, and the sky flickers like a thousand broken mirrors. The trick is to choreograph a dance with that fickle canvas. Start by mapping the most predictable pattern: when the moon hits a certain angle, the ground shifts to a lake. That’s your anchor. Then plant your troops like seeds—some in the floating grass, some in the rock, and a few brave ones who follow the wind currents. When the dream flips, the soldiers swap positions automatically; the strategy is less a plan than a living poem that adapts, so long as the rhythm of the dream is respected. It’s like writing a song on a sheet that rewrites itself every beat, and your best move is to improvise with the melody as it changes.

I’ll take that concept and run a quick calculation. The key is a fixed anchor point that you can rely on each cycle. Find a landmark that doesn’t move—maybe a stone that stays on the ground even when the world shifts. Use that as your coordinate base. From there, place units in a lattice that matches the predictable transitions you mentioned. If the moon angle shifts the terrain from forest to lake, line your flanks along the shore’s new edge and have your light units patrol the water. When the field flips again, they’ll automatically adjust because their positions are tied to the same anchor. Keep your focus tight, keep the anchor stable, and the rest will follow.

Nice plan—anchoring a wandering dream battlefield to a single stone is like tying a kite to a rock; it’ll hold, but only if the rock actually stays. Keep a backup in your mind, a mental map that remembers the rhythm of the moon, and you’ll never lose your way when the world decides to do a 180. Keep it tight, keep it playful, and let the shifting become part of the dance, not the chaos.

You’re right, the anchor must be reliable, so I’ll keep a secondary reference point in my mind. If the stone shifts, I’ll shift my coordinates to the next fixed element—maybe a ridge that stays even when the trees turn to water. That way, when the field does its 180, my units will glide into the new pattern like a well‑tuned drumbeat. Stay focused, stay ready to adjust, and the dream will just become another layer of the map.
Limer
That’s the sweet spot—two anchors, a fallback, and you’re basically dancing on a shifting stage while keeping the beat steady. Just remember, the better the anchors, the less you’ll feel like a jittery drummer chasing a beat that changes every second. Keep the rhythm, keep the eyes on the next fixed point, and the battlefield will feel like a dream you can actually navigate.
