Thank you SidV, for previous answer (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/15207-SidV-s-adventure-journal?p=175316&viewfull=1#post175316). I've just defeated Witch of the Swamp. I was trying to create army proposed by Aghiuta (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/15207-SidV-s-adventure-journal?p=175162&viewfull=1#post175162), but Soldiers are very expensive. So I replaced some of them with Militia. Here are my settings (and actual loses in brackets):

Overall: 545R 60M 70S 200C 55 LB
1) 40 Cultist [200C (0C)]
2) 50 Cultist [6R 190C (5R)]
3) 40 Cultist, 40 Fanatic [10R 1S 189C (10R)]
4) 60 Cultist [10R 1S 189C (9R)]
5) 40 Dark Priest, 60 Shadowsneaker [45R 60M 70S (43R)]
6) 33 Cultist, 33 Dark Priest, 33 Shadowsneaker [55R 55M 70S (52R)]
7) 120 Cultist [55R 75C 70S (54R)]
8) 60 Dark Priest, 80 Cultist [51R 5S 144C (46R)]
9) 40 Cultist, 120 Shadowsneaker, 1 Dark High Priest [110R 20M 70S (110R 6M)]
10) 99 Dark Priest, 100 Cultist, 1 Swamp Witch [1. 125R 75C 2. 90R 7M 1S 47C 55LB (215R 75C 4M)]

As a reward I received:

If you don't want to lose any B and S in Traitors adv, you can use my set-up (with my rewards attached).
SidV, thank you for your great job.

Hi there.

I've done summary of explorer's quests based on the results posted here.
Additionally I added results from German Wiki (http://www.siedlertools.de/wiki/Entdecker). I'm not sure they are official but they seems to be that.

I hope it will be helpful a little. :)

Hi,
question in the garrison setting for multiplayers (2 and more)
total soldiers as in whole player or single player?

ex: Units need: 600R 200C 170LB
each one need to bring that 600R 200C 170LB or we can split 300R 100C 85LB each person?

Hi :) the needs and losses are always for the whole adventure. You could not split it 50% because for some camps you need for example 200C so its better you split the camps with your friend.
For example: One brings the 200C ... the other 170LB

In Outlaws line:

5. 150 Roughneck [1: 50R 50B 2: 150R 50LB (145R 50B)] is a mistake

While recalculating it, i discovered it to be [1: 50R 50B 2: 150R 50LB (197R 50B)].

13. 60 Thug, 60 Guard Dog, 60 Ranger [200R (153R)] should be (156R)
14. 60 Thug, 60 Guard Dog, 60 Ranger [200R (153R)]should be (156R) aswell.

That's a loss of 58R more!

The actual loss-count on the script was 1746R added with these 58R, makes a grand-total of 1804R 250B

instead of the given Units lost max: 1750R 250B

Hey, this is my setup for Witch Of The Swamp if you don't want to lose any M and in 90 % of all cases also any S.

If you don't like losing them expensive troops on witch of swamp you can run with the SidV troop list then the Aghiuta setup on battle 9 then cancel for before going for camp 10 for 4321xp. You'll lose the R and the 12M but not the 75 or 100 Cav.

1 - 100 Thug 60 Ranger - 110R 30C 60LB (76R)

Sorry, that one won't work...
If there are no dogs or wolves defending, you should aim at having (at least) 25% more cavalry than defending ranged units to take them all out in the first round (not always possible, but always worth checking if it works).
I would recommend either of these two (max losses in the first case is only a rough estimate):

95R 75C 30LB (90R)

49M 1S 75C 75LB (49M)

15 - 1 One-Eyed Bert 180 Thug - 50R 150B + 90R 110LB (132R 150B)

Don't use bowmen against the thugs in the first wave... very few (if any) of them would survive the first round of battle and get to the second round.
Recruits are a lot better in this case (killing at least 25 thugs more in the first wave than 50R+150B):

1: 200R 2: 70R 130LB (270R)

And always check the combat simulator before sending the second wave! :)

LordFrancis

14.03.12, 15:34

Fantastic, + decreased further losses ..... Thank you! =D

Tage

15.03.12, 03:05

Since I found my first Outlaws earlier today, I will now have to play it soon as well... :)
Since I'm not prepared to waste your amount of soldiers, LordFrancis, I had to recalculate at least the first 6 camps for minimal R losses...
These are all simulated at least 500 times, to give the biggest minimal losses you could encounter, in accordance with Sid's practice. ;)

1 - 100R 1S 75C 24LB (100R)
2 - 43R 1S 125C 31LB (43R)
3 - 85R 1S 100C 14LB (85R)
4 - 1: 70R 2: 67R 1S 125C 7LB (137R)
5 - 1: 120R 2: 120R 1S 79LB (240R)
6 - 1: 95R 2: 29R 1S 160C 10LB (124R)

Note the two waves on camp 6, first wave to take out the dogs, then you can use cavalry in the second wave.
Also, rather than using your bowmen on camp 15, you can use bowmen instead of recruits (or a combination of them) in the first waves on camps 4 and 5:

4 - 1: 65B 2: 67R 1S 125C 7LB (67R 65B)
5 - 1: 114B 2: 120R 1S 79LB (120R 114B)

Hi SidV,

I'm looking at your new BLOCK tactical map for Traitors, and I wonder if I really need 4 generals for the Double block. Can't I just make it 2 seperate blocks using 2 generals?

Tage

15.03.12, 15:44

Can't I just make it 2 seperate blocks using 2 generals?

Yes, i just did that :cool:
Takes some time waiting for them to recover when I only have three generals in total. :)

i cleared all the bandit camps in a zone and my friend cleared the bandit leader, then will i get any xp for that?
You get XP for the camps you killed.
Your friend gets the XP for the bandit leader camp.
If you kill the bandit leader and there are other camps not cleared, they all die with the bandit leader and whomever kills the leader would get the XP for all those camps.

Since I'm not prepared to waste your amount of soldiers, LordFrancis, I had to recalculate at least the first 6 camps for minimal R losses...Yes of course, only those who do not have Noble Residence enough to have that amount of Unit's must use a different configuration to get through the adventure. From 1980 to 2505, Are 525 unless, that's 10 Noble Residence would need to get more without having to rely on the Unit's Production during the adventure! =D

Tactical map & garrison seetings (R/S/LB-Version)
Units need: 1100R 200S 200C 40LB (or 40A)
Units lost max: 1043R

I'm currently playing Stealing from the Rich on my own.
You might want to consider the following changes that I've made so far:

Camp 3) 26R 1S 173C (26R)

Camp 6) 36R 1S 163C (36R)

Camp 8 can be attacked while blocking camp 7:

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee198/RippleJet/SRblockingcamp7-1.jpg

Send the general from garrison A to camp 7 first, then send the general from garrison B to camp 8 as soon as possible after that.

Camp 7) 1R (1R)
Camp 8) 100R 100S (99R)

Trap T11 can be skipped completely.
Move your general a little south, and you can attack camp 21 through the pass in the mountains:

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee198/RippleJet/SRattackingcamp21-1.jpg

Camp 21) 38R 1S 121C 40LB (38R)

Attack camp 19 from position B on my image below (to avoid running into trap T11, which is still there):

Camp 19) 3R 1S 196C (3R)

After this, camp 20 can be attacked while blocking camp 18:

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee198/RippleJet/SRblockingcamp18-1.jpg

Send the general from garrison A to camp 18 first, then send the general from garrison B to camp 20 as soon as possible after that.

Camp 18) 1R (1R)
Camp 20) 140R 60S (139R)

All in all these changes reduce the losses in recruits by 48, bringing it down from max. 1043 to max. 995.

Tactical map & garrison seetings (blocking R/B/LB-Version)
(use for blocking ONLY normal generals. With battle hardened generals the blocks wouldn't work.)
Units need: 430R 94B 155S 160LB
Units lost max: 422R 91B
http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/8666/sidvhorsebacktacticmap1.th.jpg (http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/8666/sidvhorsebacktacticmap1.jpg)

Just FYI... after taking camps 16 and 17, camp 11 can be attacked directly from garrison position G1.
Neither camp 14, nor camp 12 will intercept, and thus no need to move your general to position G2.
Will speed things up just a fraction, as you won't have to move back to position G1 for the attack on camp 15. :)

17.03.12, 23:39

Tactical map & garrison settings (R/M/LB Version)

Would be worth mentioning the possibility to quite easily block camp 5 while attacking camp 6.
Tried that today, based on the second of the three versions available on the German forum (http://forum.diesiedleronline.de/threads/15345-SiedlerVision-Abenteuer?p=192376&viewfull=1#post192376) (click Zur Taktikkarte to see the maps).

Welcome back, Sid! :)

Thanks to a good friend, I was fortunate enough to play the Dark Priests once more last night...
This time we had this setup for blocking camp 5 (nevermind my friend's garrison, she put it there only to confuse you :)):

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee198/RippleJet/DPblockingcamp5.jpg

This version doesn't require any timing.
Just send the your blocking general with 1R from garrison A to camp 5.
Immediately after, send your main attack of 200R from garrison B to camp 6.

All-in-all, this was the setup we used, and maximum losses (after thousands of simulations):

Block
5) 1R (1R)
6) 200R (40R)

11) 16R 1S 183C (16R)
7) 5R 1S 194R (5R)

After defeating camp 7, send 200R at camp 9.
Camp 8 will intercept your general, but let it.
200R is enough to kill both camps in one go:

9) 200R (33R + 27R)

10) 98R 8M 60C 34LB (98R 8M 19C)

12) 200R (55R)
13a) 31R (31R)
13b) 170C (-)
15a) 132R (132R)
15b) 30R 170LB (25R)

Troops needed: 468R 8M 1S 194C 170LB
Maximum losses: 463R 8M 19C

In worst case, attack 15a might leave up to 5 Dark Priests alive.
That is why you need to send 30R (not 25R) in the second wave.
Otherwise you might find yourself losing the odd longbowman too.

Hi there!
Tactical map & garrison settings (BLOCK-Version + V-BLOCK-Version)
Units need BLOCK-Version: 900R 173C 117S 69LB
Units lost BLOCK-Version: 898R
Units need V-BLOCK-Version: 820R 226C 135S 119A
Units lost V-BLOCK-Version: 803R 8C
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4462/sidvtraitors17block.th.jpg (http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4462/sidvtraitors17block.jpg)

I played the Traitors yesterday, and tried to reduce the losses again... :)
Below is the plan I myself currently follow for it.
Having only 3 generals, the adventure takes a while for me with all the time needed for recovery due to blocks and suicidal first waves.

The losses in the brackets given below are (minimum - average - maximum).

Wherever there are 2S in the setup, there is a very small chance (less than one in 1000) that one of the soldiers would die. In those cases the second soldier is there to make sure no cavalry are killed as well. The second soldier should have next to no chance of being killed.
All battles have been simulated thousands of times.

Take only camps 4 and 5 if you want 2620 XP with minimal losses:

4) 40 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [27R 2S 148C 23LB (19R - 24R - 27R)]
5) 60 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [54R 2S 75C 69LB (38R - 46R - 54R)]

Camp 6 in two waves:

6a) 40 D.Milita, 40 D.Cavalry, 20 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [125R (125R)]

The first wave will kill all deserted militia, should kill all deserted cavalry and 0-10 (average 4) deserted soldiers.
The second wave depends on what still remains in that camp (10-20 deserted soldiers and 60 deserted longbows):

6b) 20 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [7R 1S 192C (4R - 6R - 7R)]
6b) 19 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [6R 1S 193C (3R - 5R - 6R)]
6b) 18 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [5R 1S 194C (3R - 5R - 5R)]
6b) 17 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [4R 1S 195C (2R - 4R - 4R)]
6b) 16 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [3R 1S 196C (1R - 3R - 3R)]
6b) 15 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [2R 1S 197C (1R - 2R - 2R)]
6b) 14 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [1R 1S 198C (0R - 1R - 1R)]
6b) 13 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows [1S 199C (0 - 0 - 0)]

[1S 199C] kills everything with no losses if there are 13, or fewer, deserted soldiers remaining.
All-in-all minimal, average and maximal losses for camp 6 are thus (125R - 128R - 132R).

Block:
7) 60 D.Militia, 60 D.Cavalry, 60 D.Soldiers [1R (1R)]
8) 60 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [73R 3S 124C (55R - 66R - 73R 2S)]

Camp 10 in two waves:

10a) 100 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [175R (175R)]

The first wave will kill some 54-65 (average 60) deserted soldiers.
The second wave depends on what still remains in that camp (35-46 deserted soldiers and 100 deserted longbows):

10b) 46 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [46R 2S 126C 26LB (32R - 39R - 46R)]
10b) 45 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [44R 2S 126C 28LB (30R - 37R - 44R)]
10b) 44 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [42R 2S 126C 30LB (28R - 35R - 42R)]
10b) 43 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [40R 2S 126C 32LB (27R - 33R - 40R)]
10b) 42 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [38R 2S 126C 34LB (25R - 32R - 38R)]
10b) 41 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [36R 2S 126C 36LB (24R - 30R - 36R)]
10b) 40 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [34R 2S 128C 36LB (23R - 29R - 34R)]
10b) 39 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [32R 2S 132C 34LB (22R - 28R - 32R)]
10b) 38 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [31R 2S 136C 31LB (22R - 27R - 31R)]
10b) 37 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [30R 2S 140C 28LB (21R - 26R - 30R)]
10b) 36 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [29R 2S 144C 25LB (20R - 25R - 29R)]
10b) 35 D.Soldiers, 100 D.Longbows [28R 2S 148C 22LB (19R - 24R - 28R)]

All-in-all minimal, average and maximal losses for camp 10 are thus (194R - 204R - 221R).

Camp 11 (while blocking camp 9) in three waves:

Block:
9a) 50 D.Cavalry, 150 D.Soldiers [1R (1R)]
11a) 60 D.Cavalry, 60 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows, 1 Big Bertha, 1 Sir Robin [86R (86R)]

Block:
9b) 50 D.Cavalry, 150 D.Soldiers [1R (1R)]
11b) 60 D.Soldiers, 60 D.Longbows, 1 Big Bertha, 1 Sir Robin [200R (200R)]

Block:
9c) 50 D.Cavalry, 150 D.Soldiers [1R (1R)]
11c) 1 Big Bertha, 1 Sir Robin [82R 118S (27R - 54R - 82R)]

In total, this gives the following losses:
Minimum: 748R
Average: 812R
Maximum: 879R

Lol. DOH!:) Well a noob AKA New player is sometimes better than people who have been playing more than a year sometimes....

Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own. It is the latter we will study in this guide so that the reader is prepared to encounter them in the wild if needed. /// From http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noob

Get your terms right.

14.04.12, 11:19

Hi SidV, thanks for your amazingly useful guide. I have found one error though, which is possibly due to a change by the devs since you wrote the guide. Motherly Love actually requires a player level of 36+ not 32+. I was lucky enough to get a copy today through trading, but sadly for me, I'll have to level up a few more times before I can play it.

All units sent to an adventure must accompany a general, yes.
Once a general has arrived at the adventure island, you can detach the troops from him and send him back home to pick up another batch of 200 units. And yes, with a normal general that will take 1 hour.

Tage

16.04.12, 21:06

outlaws camp 15 has need fore a diff approach

Agreed.

On the other hand, SidV's Outlaws map is pretty outdated. He even mentioned this himself.
There are lots of better solutions to virtually all camps, some posted here, some in Killste's thread and several on the German forum.

Regarding camp 15, let us still assume we use no blocking, no crossbows and no veteran generals.
Unit losses separated by dashes, e.g. 57R - 68R - 82R, indicate minimum - average - maximum losses.

This is SidV's original setting:

Camp 15a) 1 One-Eyed Bert, 180 thugs [50R 150B (50R 150B)] ---> Enemy losses: 90 - 98 - 109 thugs
Camp 15b) 1 One-Eyed Bert, 82 thugs [90R 110LB (57R - 68R - 82R)]

Total losses:
Minimum: 107R 150B
Average: 118R 150B
Maximum: 132R 150B

My suggestion, with cheaper losses:

Camp 15a) 1 One-Eyed Bert, 180 thugs [150R 25B (150R 25B)] ---> Enemy losses: 79 - 94 - 103 thugs
Camp 15b) 1 One-Eyed Bert, 86 thugs [77R 3S 120LB (59R - 71R - 77R 2S)]

Total losses:
Minimum: 209R 25B
Average: 221R 25B
Maximum: 227R 2S 25B

Tage

16.04.12, 21:15

I'd recommend that you to take a look at Killste's guide to solo and multi-player adventures (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/16332-Killste-s-guide-to-solo-and-multi-player-adventures).

If you do understand any German, or do have the urge to use Google translate,
it's worth taking a look at e.g. Siedler Vision (http://siedler-vision.de/abenteuer-ubersicht/) for several alternative approaches.

I decided to play witch of swamp for my first "serious" adventure... Only thing that I am not able to find in this guides is how many generals are u sending in adventure ? 1, 2, 3 or more ?
This should be explained, since I hardly believe that new players can find this confusing as well :)

17.04.12, 13:56

How is the number of generals relevant?

KURAJBER

17.04.12, 16:59

@Geronatius

Well It's faster I think if you have more generals, I will answer on my own question when I start playing it tonight or tomorrow :P

Winterset

17.04.12, 17:33

I've played Witch of the Swamp with 2 generals, and it was fine. Using 3 generals might have been slightly faster, but I still would have had to do some shuttling because I don't have enough unemployed settlers to make all the troops required in advance. So before getting a third general, consider whether you have the population required to build a big enough army to reap the benefits.

"Old Friends" is an adventure that you only get as a reward from the adventure "Witch Of The Swamp (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/15207-SidV-s-adventure-journal?p=167553&viewfull=1#post167553)".

Adventure Infos:
Player Level: 32+

It's not level 32+ anymore, it requires lvl 36!

Why? Why have they changed that? I only realized it after I had built all the army required and now 185B are useless!

Nice work, but it can be done much better...camp 2, 5 and 9 can be blocked, round-blocking (RB) ... as Tage suggested, you can find tactical maps on Siedler Vision.

I have made a guide map for the adventure "Traitors" specific for the Veteran general.

If you follow this guide you will probably only loose 640 recruits! Max needed is 706 recruits.

I also discovered that SidV guide is incorrect on block 1 for spot to send your general.

Also is block 2 incorrect and often will result in last attack loosing whole army.

If you use your veteran to the max it is best to do the last attacks seperately and loose less recruits.

Zothem

Tage

10.05.12, 16:12

Can somebody tell me why the pictures have the G1 or G2 etc. What do they mean?

G1, G2, G3, etc. are garrison positions.
These are the spots to where you should transfer your generals (normally always in that order).
Note that you can always transfer generals across enemy camps. They will never attack you.

Do i have to send my General back to change required troops?

You can always unload and reload generals in an adventure
Unloaded units are still available in the adventure (nobody knows where they are hiding though, lol...).
Thus, whenever more units are needed, you can unload a general and send him home empty to bring more.

perhaps someone with the powers and a little sense could restore it to its stickiness afterall it has over 1.5 MILLION views !

LOL why? It is outdated, not always best setup either... SidV did great but got improved and Kilste made a decent replacement based on it.

And Qualan

use guides that take new pathing into account - they are out there. These old guides only lead to confusion on certain maps, especially when the change is getting to be so far in the past that people start forgetting about the fact therewas a pathing change.

The guides are usefull for setup of troops for 200 troop generals though- which is something a lot of new guides wont show either- still with some maps gone etc, it is best to slowly see it drift to the recesses of the forum

Also. These outdated maps are also dangerous cause they haven't taking account new path finder and new players use them.

Not happy?

Before 4 hours I have started "Horseback". I use Sidv's map (without blocking) but I have a small change.
You have to fight additionaly Camp 5 (60 Lance Rider) and Camp 12 (30 Nomad, 30 Lance Rider) because my generals try to attack Camp 4 and Camp 11 (from the positions of Sidv's map) and they had been intercepted.
I also transferd my generan in front of Camp 12 (to avoid Camp 10).

Tage

06.09.12, 07:15

Camps 10 and 12 can both be avoided by proper garrison placement.
Camp 5 can easily be blocked with 1R.

nikos1850

06.09.12, 07:57

Tage you have right about Camp 11. I placed the garrison straight ahead from Camp 11 and all ok!

Tage

06.09.12, 08:40

Here's a little more information for you, linking to my own guide at the same time... :)
(note that my camp numbering follows my favourite simulator and thus differs a little from SidV's)

http://static3.thesettlersonline.com/sites/default/themes/siedler/images/common/footer/ornament.png Garrison Position G2 (Camp 16)

Move your best general and two normal generals (for the blocks) to garrision position G2:

Position A: NORMAL general (needed for a block)
Position B: NORMAL general (needed for a block)
Position C: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general or ANY general

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee198/RippleJet/HBG2.jpg

From C to Camp 16) 60 Nomads, 40 Lance Riders, 60 Composite Bowmen
ANY general: [200R (35R - 46R - 62R)]
ANY general: [42R 158S (35R - 40R - 42R 1S)]

http://static3.thesettlersonline.com/sites/default/themes/siedler/images/common/footer/ornament.png Garrison Position G2 (Camps 3-5, BLOCK)

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee198/RippleJet/HBG2B.jpg

The following round block is recommended if you do have a fast general. Send both generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 3) 60 Lance Riders
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [31S 1C (-)] {4 - 5.8 - 9 rounds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [27E 3C (-)] {4 - 5.5 - 10 rounds of fighting}

From C to Camp 5) 80 Lance Riders, 120 Composite Bowmen
BATTLE HARDENED general: [81R 119S (57R - 71R - 81R 1S)] {2 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [37R 200S (30R - 36R - 37R 1S)] {1 round of fighting}

The following 1R block is recommended if you do not have a fast general. Send both generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 3) 60 Lance Riders
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)]

From C to Camp 5) 80 Lance Riders, 120 Composite Bowmen
ANY general: [200R (70R - 88R - 106R)]
ANY general: [81R 119S (57R - 71R - 81R 1S)]

06.09.12, 16:52

Hi;

In Traitors Adventure I can't seem to successfully block camp 7 (2 normal generals), I tried sending second general from G2 (SidV's guide: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4462/sidvtraitors17block.jpg) a few times and my general either gets intercepted before first general starts a fight at camp 7, or he gets intercepted after first general finishes battle (almost travels across red-squared area, but not good enough).

Is there still possible to do this, and how exactly?

Tage

06.09.12, 19:07

Is there still possible to do this, and how exactly?

To block camp 7 with 1R is impossible after the changes in the pathing.
However, you could try this round block (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/16332-Killste-Collected-Adventure-Guides-by-Various-Authors?p=192371&viewfull=1#post192371), based on psyche's comment:

I can confirm that the long block on Traitors for camp 7 and 8 works without a veteran or battle hardened general using Tage's garrison settings.

Here are the combinations I used :

Block general to 7 (Rounds : 7 - 9 - 12)
15R 50M 75S

Attack to 8 (Rounds : 2)
85R 5S 80C 30LB (67R - 79R - 80R 4S)

It may be possible to increase the margin but I tested this on staging with the troops I had available and there was also quite a bit of lag so either I was lucky or they are quite safe combinations ;)

Traitors?

If that was the result, it was a very lucky one. On average you would lose 177R 4B 13M,
and 4 times out of 10 you would lose everything and still have a few soldier deserters to take care of afterwards.

The losses are not much, but you will lose 100C. It's very easy to play, no traps, no tactis needed, only defeat on camp after another. So have fun with it and good luck to get Old Friends :)

See Yu,

IMPORTANT: Please check the garrison settings always by yourself with the combat simulator too. I could not 100% guarantee, that there aren't any typing errors left.

Different garrison setup from other players: (not checked from me)
Aghiuta (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/15207-SidV-s-adventure-journal?p=175162&viewfull=1#post175162) with a interesting, different garrison setup.

Shortcuts:
R = Recruits
B = Bowman
C = Cavalry
M = Milita
S = Soldier
LB = LongBowman
A = Crossbowman
E = Elite Soldier
K = Cannoneer

How to read the garrison settings?
for example: [1: 70R 2: 200R 3: 130R 70S (390R)]
1: ... means is the 1st wave
2: ... means the 2nd wave
3: ... means the 3rd wave and so on :)
70R or 200R or 130R 70S ... means the garrison settings for 1 general
(390R) ... within the brackets () i wrote the maximum losses for the camp.
Hope its now a litte bit clearer.

camp 7 never worked for me i lost 21 cav

Tage

03.11.12, 15:06

camp 7 never worked for me i lost 21 cav

Never?
How many times is that?
And have you in that case done the same error every time?
Because some error you must have done with your garrison setup...

With 60 recruits, 70 soldiers and 70 cavalry you would never lose any cavalry.
It's not even theoretically possible to lose any cavalry.

The recruits are the first ones to defend, and normally just 52 of them would die.
Even if all 60 recruits would die (which never really would happen,
only about once in a million would you lose 59 of them),
the soldiers would still defend before the cavalry would.

Nogbad

03.11.12, 17:59

As Tage said, it's just not possible to lose cavalry on camp7 if you've followed the guide.
I went through this adventure with a fine toothcomb with Sid, as camps 5 and 6 almost always gave me 1 and 2 extra recruit losses than the theoretical maximum, but the rest of the camps are usually well under these losses.
The only way you could lose any horsies in this, is if you sent cavalry instead of soldiers to camps 5 or 6, I should know, made that mistake playing when tired.

Can I play a 2-player adventure by myself?

Tage

05.12.12, 19:38

Yes you can, but...

In that case you will get all experience points, but the loot will not be any bigger.
All players who participate and kill something in an adventure gets the same loot (same chance of loot slots).
If you do not invite friends in multiplayer adventures, those extra loots will be lost.

Thus, if you play a 2-player adventure alone, do invite a friend at some stage and let him/her kill at least one enemy unit.
If it's an adventure with a good loot (lots of granite and good weapons) people are prepared to pay quite a lot to be invited in the end of such an adventure. This is what is called selling and buying lootspots, and is done in chat channel global-3.

Personally I always play multiplayer adventures alone,
and then swap the lootspot(s) with a friend who also plays the same adventure alone. :)
Such lootspot swapping is also handled in global-3.

SidV's "Save the Christmas feast" guide was done a year ago. Half a year ago the pathing changed.
A lot of new guides have been posted based on the new pathing.

YET...
people keep using SidV's guide and make new guides based on it.
Camp 7 is the only hard camp on the map, and can easily be skipped.
Yet, you keep killing it, because SidV did in his guide (with the old pathing that was advantageous)...

Also note that the enemy camps contain different numbers of troops, depending on your own level.
So don't post new setups without also telling what the enemy camps contained!

BTW: Alternatively, it is possible to use instead of S also R or M. But you will have then some more losses.

Not surprising, Sid wrote this over a year ago, with the old pathing.
Use one of the more up-to-date ones, like the ones linked in Killste's post.

did you ever get round to doing that second map for outlaws,where its possible to loose a few less recruits rather than 1800 r

Polymer

Did you ever read those first few lines on the first page of this thread?

Those saying that SidV stopped playing Settlers oohh... like half a year ago ?

To the guide users, the thread starter hasn't updated the map to take into acount
the new pathings of the general. Your general may be intercepted and blocks may
not work

ok fair point, looking for outlaw maps using 3 normal generals
without the use of 1800r,dont have cross bows as well

Unless you managed to get the Grim Reaper (same as a battle hardened general) for Halloween,
I'd invest in a battle hardened general if I were you and wanted to play Outlaws more than once.
In the long run it will be worth the gems.

Outlaws is one of the adventures where blocks and one fast general can give you huge savings in lost units.
Below is a comparison from my guide (which you can of course use also without blocks and a fast general).
Without blocks you will not get much less than 1800R in losses though:

Two NORMAL generals no blocks

Units needed, average: 1798R 125S 178C 80B 101LB (2462 units)
Units needed, maximum: 1943R 236S 178C 181LB (2538 units)

Units lost, minimum: 1582R
Units lost, average: 1788R
Units lost, maximum: 1943R 35S

One BATTLE HARDENED general with Longbows
Three NORMAL generals using 4 round blocks

Units needed, average: 664R 177S/160E 386C 63B 118LB (1408 units)
Units needed, maximum: 725R 189S/160E 386C 181LB (1481 units)

Units lost, minimum: 555R 66S
Units lost, average: 654R 74S
Units lost, maximum: 725R 97S

There was a reason this thread was made not to be sticky anymore...
...and that reason is posted in the very beginning of the first post...
...guess people never read a first post anyway...

Hi folks!

The Bounty Hounter adventure is maybe the first adventure what you will play. You get them with lvl26 and it's the tutorial adventure.
It's very easy to play and you could finished it in 1-2 hours with only one general.

Have fun with it, see yu,
SidV

Adventure Infos:
Player Level: 26+
Difficulty: 1/10
Number of Players: 1
Duration: 3 days
Experience Points: 202
Where to get?: One adventure as lvl26 reward and you could buy a 2nd one from the gemshop for 10 fish :)

Garrison Settings
Units need: 80C is the cheapest way (no loses). You could also use 100R if you have no C at this time.
Units lost: 0 or some R

1) 10 Scavenger [80C]
2) 5 Scavenger [80C]
3) 10 Scavenger [80C]
4) 6 Scavenger, 6 Stone Thrower [80C]
5) 15 Scavenger [80C]

Shortcuts:
R = Recruits

Is a great guide. It's going to be my first adventure, I'll be looking forward to complete a second one soon.

How do I deal with traps? can I skip them or what?

No traps on Bounty Hunter.
On other advs, sometimes you can, and sometimes you can't.
Take a look at the guides linked from Killste's post at the top of the section.

Hello SidV's, I played yesterday the quest 'witch of the swamp' and i managed to lose half the recruits at the end & 25 M from 33M.

I used 36 R, 34 M, 29 S, 68 LB and 33 C. My losses were 36 R, 25 M. KAIZER-AMSTEL

Sid left the game last year, whilst these are still very good maps, they were all created before BB changed the pathing and combat system.

This guide is very poor, wrong paths!

When SidV made these guide, they were by far the best ones there were (unless you understood German and could find alternative ones elsewhere). The fact that SidV quit playing long before the pathing was changed by BlueByte has been mentioned several times in this thread, and is also noted in the very first lines in the opening post:

To the guide users, the thread starter hasn't updated the map to take into acount
the new pathings of the general. Your general may be intercepted and blocks may

Poor reading isn't the same as poor guides... :)

Thanks peck_ed :) for the offer. I found a old backup from the thread and the guides, so i think about to make a new one... we will see. I need some new guides for my own for some adventures and my lvl is now big enough, so i decide it in the next days :)

Hey, love your work, but I have a suggestion for Witch of the Swamp.... why lose troops to the bandit leader camps when you can just ignore them, the quest says Defeat the With Tower, so its not necessary to defeat all the other camps :)

First of all: great post.
Has the best pictures around (at least from all I've seen so far).

About the horseback adventure; you wrote:

I uploaded today a new version for horseback. Its a blocking method and you could save so around 100-150 recruits from her death ;)
Horseback (http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/15207-SidV-s-adventure-journal?p=167937&viewfull=1#post167937)

Your total (max.) loss:
422R, 91B

Still to many recruits lost if you'd ask me, considering quests like "complete horseback losing less than 300 recruits".

My alternative below results in an (effective) total loss:
281R, 31M, 129B, 3LB
