ACHIEVEMENTS - Dark Priests [No Blocks]

[A-Lia]

Here is a Guide so as to complete the Dark Priests adventure, according to the prerequisites set by the Achievement list.
Of course, you'd need to do it in less than 2 hours, which is possible by using this guide, & saving time!
We actually completed it in a little more than 1 hour.


As required, we should loose ONLY Recruits,
& ONLY use Recruits, Militia, Cavalry, Soldiers, Elite Soldiers.



We have used the Garrison placements & attack-sequence as suggested in the Killste guide, BUT with different Troop selection, & no blocks.

The simulator we have used is here:

Maximum troops lost are 460 R


Generals: Veteran.
MMA, BHG, & 2 simple Generals for transfering the Troops, at the start.

Total Troops to use (by main player):
460 R, 236 C, 50 M, 120 S, 100 E.

Loot Player's Troops: 210 R, 10 S. MMA (without sacrificing their General).



We use the Veteran General throughout all the adventure.


1- [20 Thug, 10 Dog] Max Loss 20R
50 R, 50 M, 50 S, 50 E. Veteran or MMA are preferable to minimize the losses.


2- [20 Thug, 20 Dog, 20 Rangers, 1 Skunk] Max Loss 40R
40 R, 20 M, 100 S, 90 E.

3- [60 Cultists, 20 Dark Priests] Max Loss 10R
10 R, 2 S, 2 E, 236 C.

4- [25 Cultists, 25 Shadowsneakers, 30 Fanatics, 10 Firedancers] Max Loss 55R
64 R, 86 S, 100 E.

5- [30 Cultists, 40 Dark Priests] Max Loss 6R
10 R, 18 S, 31 E, 191 C.

Next, attack Camp with 30 Cultists, 20 Shadowsneakers, & 10 Firedancers,
& allow them to be intercepted by the camp with 30 Dark Priests + 30 Shadowsneakers.

6- [30 Cultists, 20 Shadowsneakers, & 10 Firedancers + 30 Dark Priests & 30 Shadowsneakers] Max Loss 60R
60 R, 110 S, 80 E.

7- [40 Cultists, 30 Dark Priests, 20 Shadowsneakers, 1 Dark High Priest] Max Loss 70R
180 R, 60 S, 10 E.

Here, comes the invited player - Loot buyer. *** see post below
Instead of a suicide attack, the Loot-Buyer used MMA & wiped out the Camp-Leader.

8- [30 Shadowsneakers, 50 Fanatics, 10 Firedancers] Max Loss 60R
210 R, 10 S.

9- [40 Cultists, 40 Dark Priests, 40 Shadowsneakers, 1 Dark High Priest] Max Loss 140R
150 R, 50 S, 50 E.



Hope that this might be helpful!
The main aim here (& the reason for making this post),
was to offer some easy & time-saver guideline, while completing the Achievement.

Enjoy!!!

Hey, Andre!
Thank you!!

I had done this adventure Many many times while I was in my Level 30s,
and once this Achievements Tab got introduced recently, ... all I saw was that it appeared as if I hadn't done it! LOL
So upon doing it again, I decided to do something Good with it - & so came this guide. ;)

Here, comes the invited player - Loot buyer. *** see post below

In the case that you don't want to gift all this fight to your Loot-buyer, but instead like to keep all Experience Points to the main player,
then you go with the Suicide attack when the turn comes for the invited Loot-buyer's fight!

In this case,

Loot Buyer:
8a- [30 Shadowsneakers, 50 Fanatics, 10 Firedancers] Losses: 2C, 1 General. // 2 Shadowsneakers.
2 C - with a simple General.

Main Player continues:

8b- [28 Shadowsneakers, 50 Fanatics, 10 Firedancers] Max Loss 9-23 C.
10 R, 18 M, 12 S, 210 C.
