Hexapolis - Civilization game: Greenlands 3 & Stealthy Summit

To clear Greenlands Level 3 and secure the Stealthy Summit region in Hexapolis - Civilization game, establish a stable economy through early food technology, push back the fog of war using elevated ground, and defend narrow mountain passes with frontline melee units backed by archers.

Early Scouting and Fog of War Priorities

Securing visibility during the first three turns prevents ambushes and identifies key expansion paths:

Seek high ground immediately: Move your starting warrior onto an adjacent elevated tile on turn one. This reveals multiple hex rings, uncovers resource nodes, and prevents you from marching blindly into dead-end mountain ridges.
Keep units clustered: Do not send your starting units in opposing directions. Keep your scouting unit within a two-tile radius of your capital until you confirm the location of hostile patrols near the Stealthy Summit pass.
Prioritize neutral ruins: Move onto early ruins to claim immediate gold bonuses or health recovery, which speeds up early-game recruitment.

Technology Tree Order for Economic Stability

Recruiting military units strains your economy unless your capital generates reliable gold per turn. Prioritize resource harvesting before unlocking advanced warfare branches.

Technology Priority	Target Tile / Mechanic	Primary Benefit
Agriculture / Gathering	Plains and berry bushes	Increases population cap and levels up cities for border growth
Mining	Hills and stone deposits	Provides production boosts and defense on elevated ground
Archery	Ranged recruitment	Allows attacks without receiving retaliatory counterattacks
Roads / Logistics	Connected hex pathways	Accelerates troop movement through rough mountain terrain

Delay advanced military research until your city levels up and provides a stable gold surplus. Once your food output supports continuous unit upkeep, research Mining to exploit the mineral deposits surrounding the summit.

Choke Point Defense and Combat Tactics

The Stealthy Summit map features steep terrain and impassable mountain tiles that funnel units into tight corridors. Use these natural barriers to dictate battle engagements:

Form a two-line defense: Station a melee warrior on the narrowest tile of a mountain pass to halt advancing hostiles.
Back up the front line: Position an archer directly behind the frontline warrior. Archers deal damage without taking counterattack damage, whittling down attackers safely.
Avoid uphill melee charges: Do not send warriors to strike full-health enemies holding elevated hill tiles, as terrain defense bonuses reduce your damage output. Soften entrenched defenders with archers over consecutive turns before ordering a warrior to deliver the finishing strike.
Bypass entrenched ridges: If enemy forces occupy an elevated ridge overlooking a direct pass, construct roads through adjacent valley routes rather than attacking into fortified positions.

Capturing Settlements and the Final Advance

Once your borders are secure, expand into neutral territory to prepare for the final strongholds:

Capture outposts in one turn: Coordinate multiple units so you can seize a neutral settlement's center in a single turn. Leaving an outpost contested across multiple rounds allows nearby hostile units to snipe the capture.
Develop forward bases: As soon as an outpost is annexed, invest in local tile harvesting and border upgrades to ensure it does not drain your treasury.
Maintain paired garrisons: Guard new borders with one melee defender and two rotating archers. Cycle wounded melee units to the back line to recover while ranged units hold the pass, then push the remaining barbarian camps to complete the stage.
