Yes, that is quite a viable solution, also for the blocking:

29a) 50 JomVikings, 140 HouseCarls, 30 Berzerks [100B (100B)] {1 round}
29b) 25-28 JomVikings, 140 HouseCarls, 30 Berzerks [46M 1S 203XB (36M - 41M - 46M)] {2 rounds}

If, like me, you haven't got any crossbows, you would lose some on camp 28, e.g:

NORMAL general: 28) 150 Karls [86R 1S 113LB (68R - 77R - 86R)]
VETERAN general: 28) 150 Karls [39R 1S 210LB (32R - 35R - 39R)]

Ahh, but blocks are fun, even if not always saving huge amounts of your units. :)

Care to tell us which attacks in which adventures, please? :)

If done exactly as instructed, the round blocks are generally safer than the 1R blocks
(there are a few rather critical ones though).

The 1R blocks only last one round, and allow only for very short passages of the main attack through the red influence area of another camp. They can never be used if your main force needs to walk through more than half a red area of influence.

I'm just now once again playing Stealing from the Rich, and have been using round blocks instead of 1R blocks this time.
They are a lot safer to use than the previous 1R blocks, and are not as critical to server lagging.

Give me till tomorrow night and I should have a complete post on the subject :)

I suggest people do not use these setups, they are not of high detail/quality. Seems the german settler guys have much lower standards than us here, at least the 3 guys mentioned...

You should always calculate your own numbers or at least check...I think that is the RULE for everybody, I've just posted those pictures for tactics and to take alternatives troops into consideration.
Nobody's saying that any guide is 100% correct. ;)

Gratz to killste - a lot of effort and a great guide, well done mate.

Hi gyus ... I've just finished The Nords

I've used SidV's tactical map with an additional round-block and what bothers me that I forgott to test Turion87's attack on the last camp 12 (SidV's camp 29) -> you can see the positioning on Turion's map.
You should attack the leader camp 12 (SidV's camp 29) with 81M+1ES+168A -> camp 11 (SidV's camp 28) will intercept you general, but there will be no losses and after camp 11 (SidV's camp 28) is defeated your general should continue to the leader...if the general will be intercepted by any other camp you should retreat - that's the theory, I would like to test it, but I don't have another Nords right now.

Round-block:

http://www.lanet.sk/tso/nords_rb1.jpg

G1 (red - Tavern) - attack camp 6
G2 (yellow - Veteran) - attack camp 5, when G1 is in the blue square or even later...because the camp 6 will fight 8-11-16 rounds :)


Setup:

http://www.lanet.sk/tso/Nords.png

PS - Attack on camp 11 (green row) - 2nd player
PS2 - I've used Militia because it allowed me to use as much crossbowman as possible.

outlaws triple block. On the map it doesnt specify if I need normal generals or if bh general or veteran can also be used for blocking some of the camps. I have 2 normal generals, bh general and a veteran, so this information is vital for me. On the video I can see 3 normal generals being used for blocking... so any chance one can be blocked with bh?

Thanks again, sk_setttler! :)

I do have one of them, so count on me for doing some testing in the not too distant future... :)

No, I wouldn't even consider that.
Whenever used for that purpose, a blocking general must be a normal one.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...leJet/SRG1.jpg

If you have more than 3 generals, a few have probably arrived in landing zone 2.
In that case, move all those generals to landing zone 1 (garrison position G1).

Trap T1) 40 Wolves
ANY general: [1R 39S (1R)]

Trap T2) 100 Wolves
ANY general: [5R 99S (5R)]

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...leJet/SRG2.jpg

Move at least one veteran general to garrison position G2.

Do not move your generals any further to the west (left) than shown on the image above.
Otherwise they might be intercepted by trap T15.

Tower 13) 15 Longbowman Deserters
ANY general: [100C (-)]

Tower 13) 15 Longbowman Deserters
ANY general: [100C (-)]

Before attacking camp 14, make sure the towers (13) have been destroyed first.
Otherwise, if the right-most tower is still standing, the general going to camp 14 will be intercepted by tower 15.

Camp 14) 50 Soldier Deserters, 50 Cavalry Deserters, 50 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Big Bertha
VETERAN general: [140R 110S (100R - 124R - 140R)]

http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G3

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...SRG3NewMap.jpg

Move one veteran general and two normal generals to garrison position G3:

• Position A: Normal general
• Position B: Normal general
• Position C: Veteran general

Send all three generals after each other in this order (as soon as you can):

From A to Camp 6) 60 Militia Deserters, 20 Longbowman Deserters
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [136C (-)] {5 - 7.5 - 10 rounds of fighting}

From B to Camp 7) 40 Militia Deserters, 40 Longbowman Deserters

http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G4

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...leJet/SRG4.jpg

Move your veteran general to garrison position G4.

Camp 21) 85 Recruit Deserters, 65 Bowman Deserters
VETERAN general: [27R 1S 222C (21R - 25R - 27R)]

Move your veteran general to garrison position G5.

http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G5

Move one normal general to the western garrison position G5, so that you now have:

• Position A: Normal general
• Position B: Veteran general

Send both generals after each other in this order (as soon as you can, but no more than 10 seconds between them):

From A to Camp 19) 40 Militia Deserters, 40 Longbowman Deserters
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [4R 94C (-)] {5 - 7.4 - 9 rounds of fighting}

http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G6

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...leJet/SRG6.jpg

Move at least your veteran general to garrison position G6.

Do not attack from anywhere further south than the two garrisons shown in the image above.
In that case your general would be intercepted by 160 wolves hiding in the forest (trap T8).

To kill the towers (camps 9), send your general to the last one and he will be intercepted and kill all four of them.

The last (eastern-most) tower 9 can be left to a lootspot buyer.
In that case, do make sure the lootspot buyer gets to destroy that tower completely, before you yourself destroy the final camp 11.
Otherwise, the sold lootspot will be lost.

Also, make sure the lootspot buyer is moving his general to G6, and nowhere further south than the garrisons shown above.
Wolf traps T6, T7 and T8 are still blocking the entrance from all other directions.

Tower 9) 30 Longbowman Deserters
ANY general: [100C (-)]

Tower 9) 30 Longbowman Deserters
ANY general: [100C (-)]

VETERAN general: [140R 110S (80R - 124R - 140R)]




http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png

All garrison setups where recruits and soldiers are included have a very small chance of one or a few soldiers being killed.
I prefer having it so tight, that in most cases that one soldier survives and actually saves one recruit by taking the last hits in the battle.
That being said, be prepared to lose the odd soldier(s) after playing the same adventure hundreds of times...
