Kiting

Usage of combination of greater mobility and range to attack the opposition without being attacked back.

A kiting unit will flee from it's victim when it gets close enough to counter-attack and will pursue when out of the off range of it's own weapon. Thus it can seem as if the kiter is dragging the victim around, as if flying a kite.

In presence of other forces even a unit that is not able to outrun it's victim can do partial kiting by being able to withdraw to the safety of (for example) static defences before being caught.

Vecgir units are especially good at kiting becuase they can self teleport.
