Hiding Spots

Over Here you can find some of the best hiding spots for Pieces & Bases

## Friendly Plains

The Friendly Plains has no hiding places, so it should be useless, right? Nope, Since almost no one comes to the Friendly Plains, it is the best place for hideouts and bases.

### Bush Patterns

Bush Patterns are Random patterns of bushes and rocks generated by RNG. Keeping the Hideout Simple & Random prevents other players from getting suspicious

## Parched Desert

The Parched Desert isn't actually a good hiding place, as the thirst timer is a **BIG PROBLEM.** But it is a good **TEMPORARY** hideout.

### Types

#### Club Hideout

This isn't much of a hideout since you cannot hide in a bush in the desert for long. But it is a good way for farming many things. As we all know, there is Queen Tile in the Desert. Spawn rate is doubled near that area. Adding a few more Bushes and Rocks can make it fully functional.

##### Advantages

* You can farm Queens from Here (Queen-Spawn Tile)
* You can keep some pieces in there to reset their thirst Timer
* You are nicely protected

##### Disadvantages

* Most of the Time, there is already a Club near the **ONLY** Queen-Spawn tile occupied by another king.

#### House Type

In this type, players surround a few water tiles with a layer of rocks and fill the insides with bushes. Such a Hideout is usually found on the Edge of the Desert.

##### Common Features

* Oases
* Lots of Rocks and Bushes
* A Guard to Protect Entrances (In the Picture, The Bishop is Guarding the Right Entrance)

##### Advantages

* You have better protection[1]
* You have a place for resetting the thirst timer of pieces.
* You have a place to retreat from pro players.

##### Disadvantages

* This usually takes a lot of time
* Many Players will attempt to raid this Base
* The Guard needs an oasis to refill his thirst
* Places where there are lots of Oases in a small space are **Rare**

## Cursed Swamp

Cursed Swamp hideouts are usually small. Their only 2 purposes are to farm queens and stay hidden

### Building a Base

Well, Building a base here isn't very easy, as 80% of all tiles are Quicksand Tiles; Tiles which cannot be destroyed. However, with the Solid Ground Blessing, we can use it to our advantage.

* Fill up all the squares near the queen tile with stones and bushes
* Keep a few guards which have blessings with them. (Queen with Queen haste, Knight with Knight Speed etc.)
* Keep 1 piece attacking all those who come near.

### Advantages

* You can farm queens
* With the Solid Ground Blessing, you have more chances of survival
* Other players can't bomb the place.(Bombs cannot be placed on Quicksand, Bushes or Rocks! You filled the whole area with collectables!)

### Disadvantages

* Takes time to completely fill everything with terrain
* Solid Ground Blessing is Rare
* Enemies can hide in the bushes and kill you!

## Dark Forest

Making a Base in the Dark forest should be easy, right? there are so many bushes! **WRONG**; You need rocks too! the whole arena is filled with bushes. Where would you place rocks? bombing the place leaves you unguarded and makes it obvious that you are there. However, quick hideouts are possible.

### Advantages

* Finding someone here is near impossible.
* You can get queens, but those are rare!

### Disadvantages

* Suppose a Rook decides to go to the tile where your king was hiding. You'd die. Since the whole area is covered with bushes, you wouldn't see the impending disaster!
* The Dark forest is home to Bot Queens. It is likely that they might go in the bushes and kill you!

### How to Sustain a Base Here

Instead of abandoning the idea of having a base here, you could just follow these tips:

* Always keep moving your king!
* Having at least 1 queen before entering is necessary
* Vision is useless. Keeping Haste and Speed Blessings are necessary
