... my explorer just came back with this, and I started it without thinking first. Can't find any adventure guides ... the combat simulator doesn't know the troop types either of course.



The old astrologist has convinced our venerable king Damien that we are all doomed! The whole world is doomed! The world will soon end because of a terrible curse an old and mysterious clan of Mayan witchdoctors cast over the world a thousand years ago! However, the old astrologist also knows a way to escape the disaster. He has opened a gateway in time to take you back to the day the curse was cast. We need you to prevent this cataclysmic curse from being cast! Can you hear their shamans chanting? Quick, there is no more time to waste - go and avert what will otherwise be the end of us all!

Difficulty 6/10
Defeat all enemy camps
Event adventure:
Get event-related rewards
Number of players: 1


Tribesmen
Hitpoints 40
Damage 15-30
accuracy 80%
Initiative normal

Shaman
Hitpoints 5
Damage 0-5
Accuracy 60%
Initiative first strike

Jaguar warrior
Hitpoints 90
Damage 60-120
Accuracy 90%
Initiative Last strike
Splash damage

The shape of the island is identical to the home island, with the same 9 sectors, but it is all red and spooky-looking.




Any suggestions on how I play this, or simulate the battles? I'm lost...



--- Edit:

Tribesman -> recruit
Shaman -> guard dog / weak cavalry
Jaguar warrior -> ?cannoneer with splash damage? *** no good


Tried simulating using recruits/cavalry/cannoneers as an approximation, but had an unexpected 45 of my soldiers killed off, presumably due to the splash damage from the jaguar warrior. So need to come up with something else.

I have received this as well. Looks like heavy losses

You could simulate with the units from dark brotherhood:
Tribesmen: Cultist
Shaman: Shadowsneaker
Jaguar Warrior: Dancing Derwish

And before I get into this myself, how many camps are there to be fought? Don't want to end up losing a ton of units...

I played it lost 267b en 338r.
Takes lots of time and regular loot only 5 slots do.
I have not tried to block and during the play came up with better setups so loss can be less.
Their are 6 different combination of troops

N=normal
F= first attack
L=last attack

1. n30 f30 l50 use 24r 16b 210xb
2. n50 f50 use 250r
3. l100 use 250xb
4. n30 f 30 l 100 use 24r 16b 210xb
5. f50 l100 use 25b 225xb
6. n40 f40 l40 use 50r 200m or s or es

My loot was 350exowood 250 marble 400 ironsword 300bows 50 settlers
good luck

This works quiet well. It is recommended using bowmen here like I980808 did, as they reduce losses by a lot. The adventure is quiet simple but very long one. There seem not to have much point for blocks either as they are hard to implement with so high damage units and the gain would be small.

EDIT: To make adventure faster you can use also BHG's / 200 generals same time as you are doing vet gen attacks. This is because not all of the combinations need over 200 units.

It could have been either - I had an explorer searching for each type, couldn't tell which one came back with the adventure.

Is this bit actually true? Do we get presents during/at the end, or is the loot a bug with the adventure?

There's a lot more information about this adventure here (http://siedler-vision.de/2012/12/blitzmeldung-abenteuer-event-aufgedeckt/#more-2228)...

It reveals a bit more than BB_Dantesama's post...



The Rumour...

My fellow comrades,

http://static2.ubi.com/F2P/TSO_UK_CM/Images/orange.jpg

Brace yourselves, something strange, uncanny and mysterious is brewing in the air. You hear whispers on the streets , the crowd seems uneasy, agitated even...
Indeed, an uncomfortable rumour is spreading like wildfire...something about a doomed prophecy.
People with flair for adventure have already discovered what this mystery is all about...

Gather your troops for December 10th and prepare yourselves for the ultimate adventure...

BB_Dantesama


I'll try to translate the essential information...



Dear Settlers!

Something strange will happen in December,
your Settlers are already whispering in the streets!

There are rumours about a prophecy and a mysterious island. Get ready for a special adventure, which will be available on Monday, 10th December 2012. Train troops and note, that no new adventure can be started, if your generals are currently on a mission!

The new adventure can be found be the Explorer starting December 6th. The lucky finder can already try it once or give it away - on December 10th an event across all domains will start, in which this special adventure will play a vital role!


There is also information about the loot...

Slot 1
33% - 300 granite
17% - 350 granite
33% - 250 exotic logs
17% - 300 exotic logs

Slot 2
50% - 250 Marble
50% - 250 Hardwood planks

Slots 3 and 4
25% - 400 Iron swords
25% - 400 Horses
25% - 300 Longbows
25% - 150 Steel swords

Slot 5
25% - 150 Brew
25% - 150 Bread
25% - 150 Sausages
25% - 50 Settlers

I don't understand one thing if the loot is as Tage posted. Adventure says "Event adventure, get event-related rewards". What is exactly "event" related in that loot table? Do i miss something ? Or does it have some else added to it after 10th of December ? In that case it would be better to save all these adventures for now.

The loot for this adventure is crappy but the rewards for this event are big. Too bad it depends on the whole server performance so the best thing we can do is encourage other players from our own world to play it.

What xp?
lvl 50 players don't get that either, and yet you demand us to lead you with full script again.

First make your vote for the petition to BlueByte, that all accumulated xp should be honoured and granted to the players.
No matter if it was kept in lootmails or not.

You can use any simulator having the units for the Dark Brotherhood

Tribesman = Cultist

Jaguar Warrior = Dancing Dervish

Guys,

Just for your information.

Although you have early access to the adventure, this will not count for your world score.

World Scores will appear and start on Monday after maintenance.

Hope this clears things up.

Best

Hi all,

Many of you have already noticed that the technical team launched the quick maintenance earlier than intended this morning between 7h00 and 9h00.
You can go ahead and start taking part in this epic adventure!

The adventure is available in your in-game mail box.

Here is the notice board:

http://static.cdn.ubi.com/0034/archive/Website_ger/News/2012_EotW/EotW_01.jpg


You can see that all servers are at 0%, this will change depending on world performance.

You will also be able to trade the adventure, the technical team is working on it today.

Peajay
10.12.12, 17:27
This doesn't seem like a fair competition, as servers have different populations, some have been closed to new players for months, some been open many months longer etc.

Wreckless-
10.12.12, 18:06
You're right, that's an issue. Some have more experienced players and very likely more inactive players. Other have more inexperienced players who are not up to this adventure yet.
