Nice job, thank you very much :-)
Nice job, thank you very much :-)
Tage - re settings for VtV. I don't think the calculation for cavalry (with elites) its correct. It doesn't seem to take into consideration the 40c suicide wave. I always end on the last block with some Cav short.
Thanks, switched them around! :)Quote:

Once you have lost the 40c wave, you are left with 379 cav. Is that enough for the final block with cannons?Quote:

Is it not possible to add maximum of each units needed against minimum, but include the VERY maximum of each unit needed? For instance, instead of having 20s as max units lost, have 20s+ the 74s for the 3rd block instead.
And for cannons, maximum of 175K instead of 137K?
Perhaps you could have prefer to lose militia/soldier settings similar to how PrincessAlly has in her RB guide?
Just a suggestion, I know its mighty complicated counting up all the settings, especially since there are so many combinations.
If you do not like to lose bowmen:

Haven't tried it myself, but the simulator doesn't lie 5,000 times :). The central block looks a little bit risky though.
Great guides, thank you very much!
A couple of requests/suggestions:
1. A Secluded Experiments guide, please? I don't mean to bash Polymer, but I don't like his guide at all, and that's the only one you link on page 1.
2. NEVER again use light blue font color on white background, please. At least for me, it's barely visible at all, and even if I mark the text, it's still impossible for me to read. The only way I'm able to read it, is to copy it to notepad first.
3. A minor one: Tage, please don't assume that just because someone have xbows, they also have elites, this is done in a couple of advs. Elites are, unless it was changed, some lvls above xbows. Maybe change "with crossbows" to "with crossbows and elites" in these advs, ie in Pirates? No biggie, though, just a suggestion ;P
Again, thanks a lot !!
I`m the only one stupid enough to repeatedly lose valuable troops on SE enough times to make a guide :)
And I take no offence, the guide was provided as is and with the 'encouragement' for others to improve it. Not much to do on it though except improving block positions, maybe come up with some blocks on the 1 or 2 sectors I kill a camp before blocking for leader. Or try the alternate route, killing sector 9 and work way to sector 12 from that position (I doubt it will save troops but just maybe).
I am working on a cannon version of it, but it`ll have to wait some time.
Yes, you need a maximum of 69 + 151 + 120 + 39 = 379:Quote:

One IMPORTANT thing is that the positioning for the middle block does not work there are small scenery, in this case roads, blocking spots on which to place garrisons D and F (in full 5-gen block). I would provide a screenshot if I could.
Yes, I am aware of that, and can only recommend that you exit the game and reload it.Quote:

EDIT:
Added a note about it in the guide itself
can't fault the wisdom of tage ;)
Tage I love your guides! Any chance you're working on a Secluded Experiments guide soon?
HI Tage,
I just found an interesting tactic for Dark Priests. You do not have to attack Leader camp 13 AT ALL.
Destroy camp 12 and that leaves a clear run at the castle.
I did the castle with my vet while my partner cleared the castle on left of the map and we then got the "Quest Completed" flash on screen. I rapidly recalled my gen from the 2nd wave on the leader camp and we returned home, job done :)
Regards
Richard
@ Tage. Perhaps not maximum for both, but a prefer to lose "soldier" and "elite" seperate settings would be good. That way you don't have to keep focusing on making both.
Id rather use 80% elite 20% soldier rather than 50/50 as an example and two different settings for using each would be the easiest way I can think of separating this.
@ PrincessAlly. Thought you may be interested in this:
A friend of mine has been looking in to a better way to complete the full version of RB. It involves attacking from the other side and has less total losses. You can also use this method of attack to do a fast version (which costs only a little more losses than current fast version, but 6k more exp).Quote:
Originally Posted by PrincessAlly

The key is attacking from the other side, average losses of full version equate to around 1360R-450B compared too 1219R 724B

1st Gen (block 45s 75e)
2nd Gen (leader) (block 1s 35e 99c)
Wait 5 Secs before sending veteran genera!!
First thanks for nice guides Tage
if you have only 2 normal generals and veteran on outlaws, you can't do that triple block
but you have to destroy camp 4 separately
here's my setup for
CAMP 4:
VETERAN general: [76R 1S 129C 44X (49-62-76)]

I have played SE using NightEye's guide myself, and as I would only have very small alterations to that, I'd recommend you use that guide instead. :)Quote:

If all the camps are easier this shouldn't cause any big problems, but it means the guide is inaccurate at the moment.
Edit to add - I've now played through and the final block can no longer be done either, because the camps are all within separate boundaries. It looks like it could be the end for round blocks in new adventures if they continue to do things that way. You can still keep a camp occupied while another general passes through the area, but the camp being kept occupied will not disappear when the leader camp is killed.

Secluded Experiments
http://cempire.org/adventures/icons/...periments2.png
Double veteran with cannons
& Major general (militia burner)
VETERAN general troops needed: 2425R, 1776B, 376M, 210C, 100XB, 51S, 184ES, 182K
VETERAN general losses: 2425R, 1763B, 367M, 40C
MAJOR general troops needed: 1659R, 14B, 1059M, 287C, 51S, 191LB, 59XB, 184ES, 181K
MAJOR general losses: 1659R, 1059M, 86C, 191LB
http://cempire.org/adventures/loot/s...xperiments.png
As was announced in News the adventure "More Secluded Experiments" has been added to loot drop (still have to see it drop though).
In case of only 1 veteran, use the silvered alternate setup.
Blocks are designed to be long and not necessarly victorious, out of all setups I chose the one giving highest average number of rounds.
Play this if you are expert level on blocks and have the right temper for it.
In the Summary , maximum losses aren`t cosmetic fitted in any way, they`re exactly that, maximum. Final results will be under that for sure.
http://www10.pic-upload.de/29.10.12/q4fh492ky6kw.jpg
Alternate image
For this adventure it is preferable you have at least:
* Major General
* 2 Veteran General
* 2 Fast General (Battle Hardened, Grim Reaper)
* 2 Normal General
* Level 3 Barracks
* Full capacity to train required troops during the 10 days this adventure lasts, i.e. weapons in storehouse and enough +625 settlers sets in star menu

Notes:
1. Sectors 3, 4, 5, 6 can be skipped for a while, but sector 5 (and sector 6 to get to sector 5) has to be killed before sector 9.
2. Make sure you choose proper options on how to kill certain camps, especially if you do this adventure because a quest or you intend to sell lootspots (ex. major option on sector 12 camp 62 will kill 50C, 36C in sector 10 and possibly 40C more in sector 9, total of 126C which may be incompatible with some quests= complete SE while kill less than 100C).
3. Major general options usually kill a lot of militia, but do consider the fact that they save a lot of bowman and recruits (about 400R+B per 130M compared to veteran option)

Yes, I know, and as soon as I've found one I'll play it and update the guide (I'm only finding Lost Skulls these days on the short searches...) :)Quote:

Just one more error.
For the minimum required Militia with Cannoneers, it should be just 67M. As thats what you need for the last block with dual veterans. If without 2x veterans, it should be 78M.
You can avoid using militia by losing soldiers instead (according to your settings for the 3rd block).
Thanks for these guides. They have helped me a lot!
Option for losing only recruits:Quote:

I can't have all versions of R/M/S/E in one setup, so in that case I would have to split them all up into four versions for each of the nine setups, and at the moment that is not priority one. :) Originally the version with losing militia was the only one for camp 15, and then additional versions have been added on, just like the one I've just added for ShogoK below for camp 19... I need to leave something for you guys to figure out yourself, depending on what troops you've got. :)Quote:

Edit: Wrong image! Correct one below!
If this loot is real, I think it's the worst of all advs compared to the troops lost.....
I think the guide will change as well! It is basically the same map, but different bandits, I believe Tage is working on a new guide, so lets wait on that as well!Quote:

Tropical Sun is now fully updated. :)
Sons of the Veld (alternative lootspot)
Below is a modifcation to Tage's Sons of the Veld guide where I skip the camps to the far left so that a lootspot buyer can come do their attack on one of those later. Why do this? The mammoth final block is easier if you can do it on your own and don't have another player around causing extra lag!
Here's the link to Tage's original guide and some of his words of wisdom.

http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G2
Move your veteran general to garrison position G2http://xpatent.co.uk/documents/SotVBlock.jpg
- Position A: NORMAL general
- Position B: NORMAL general
- Position C: VETERAN general
In the image above, I have already taken out camp 24 so I've just put a number around where it was. Attack it with your veteran general from Position C
From C to Camp 24) 80 Thugs, 80 Rangers
VETERAN general: [60R 2S 163C 25XB (41R - 51R - 60R 1S)]
VETERAN general: [60R 1E 164C 25XB (41R - 51R - 60R)]
VETERAN general: [57R 1E 172C 20K (39R - 50R - 57R)]
Now comes the block. We are sending general A to camp 7, general B to camp 1 (which will be intercepted by camp 2) and then general C to camp 3
Send all generals right after each other.
From A to Camp 7) 200 Guard Dogs
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)] {20 seconds of fighting}
From B to Camp 1) 80 Guard Dogs, 80 Rangers (Camp 2)
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)] {20 seconds of fighting}
From C to Camp 3) 100 Thugs, 80 Rangers, 2 Skunks
VETERAN general: [89R 2S 102C 57XB (62R - 75R - 89R 1S)]
VETERAN general: [89R 1E 102C 58XB (62R - 75R - 89R)]
VETERAN general: [89R 1E 117C 43K (62R - 76R - 89R)]
From here on the guide is identical to Tage's original guide until the big boss camp at the end is done. Then you can invite your lootspot buyer to do a 1C kill on camp 25 before you finish off camps 25-28.
Good chap, some of the dynamics in the Euro advs seem to have changed with former garrison settings now not doing so well, but I doubt many other people are still playing these.Quote:

I'm assuming slightly lower for the block timing.
Neither... try again :)Quote:

To be honest, probably wouldn't affect me anyway.Quote:

Almost as if granite has been taken out of the game, same as the barbie castles ( 0/434 attempts).
