Pro tips for settlers gaming

[NightEye]

10 pro tips:


1: Tavern general can't hold 250 troops
2: Don't wait for a general/geologist that was never sent
3: Don't wait for a loot no one claimed.
4: Helps if you add a new book when taking the last one out
5: Unsleeping a building after it gets buffed can be useful for it's production
6: Explorers skilled for buff finding won't find buffs on adventure searches.
7: A geologist without books won't find a fast mine
8: It helps to fill your general b4 sending it back to the adventure!
9: You don't need more pop/houses if you forget to fill your barracks.
10: You might loose some cannons if you forget to add tanks

All these been thoroughly tested and maybe forgotten every now and then.

What if you are sending a general to pick up troops from your adventure?

To point 5: Also worth to check the storhouse if it has enough room for expected amount of production...

[NightEye]

hehe yeah I forget that one also sometimes brankovics, also tested it.
Works in reverse also, if you have -20k pwl a day you might want sort that out before logging if you only have 5k in storage.

I have another one "you can not attack on adventure when generals land, unless you have sent some troops " tested by my self ...several times :)

[Lamon]

Cannons can be replaced with crossbows if you don't mind losing elites. And crossbows.
Starting an adventure without looking at your troops count is a great way to start an evening watching the barracks.

When you swap out a general's troops between battles, make sure you hit OK before clicking "ATTACK".

(Simulated that one over 2200 times...)

Ok, a real tip: balancing your economy is not the same as optimising your economy.
