	[[Galleries]] are primarily created by using height differences while designing [[Levels]] and [[Game Worlds]] but other combinations of [[One-Way Travel]] and cover can work as well. Specifically, the heights (and the rest of the gameplay area) need to funnel movement along them so that those on the heights can attack those below for an extended period of time with the advantage of being on higher ground.

	[[Galleries]] modulate how [[Combat]] and [[Movement]] can do done in [[Game Worlds]] and [[Levels]]. They do this by making [[Guard]] goals easier for those in the elevated areas through making the areas overlooked into potential [[Choke Points]] (the raised areas can also often function as a form of [[Sniper Locations]]).
