Good luck Tage :)
I think it's fair to say, that the last one is depending on going to the max rounds and if the server calculates avg (or god forbid the min), you can loose pretty much valuable ES troops...but if you're like me, up for trying new things, or keeping the things interesting, you'll try it ;)
Here is my latest Victor the Victorious (VtV)
I've played VtV for the first time a looooong time ago, when I didn't even know about blocking and my losses with other two players were: 3456 = 2630R+360B+176M+220C+70LB.
So after I've got the new general - Veteran - I've started to prepare a new tactic when I stumbled upon a new german tactical map, so I've tried it a here is my setup with a few changes (rows with italic are original numbers from the tactical map, I've calculated and used the alternatives):
http://www.lanet.sk/tso/VtV.png
PS - There is a note in the map that you can attack camp 18 directly but it didn't work for me, so I had to attack 19 and then retreat the general.
PS2 - You can find camp 6 three times on the map...the first one is numbered as camp 5, maybe because of the block...however I think it's better this way, because it's better to use another tactic for block (less rounds hence a safer block), and another on the other two with direct attacks.
PS3 - Green attack (camp 2) and blue attack (camp 18) were performed by other two players (lootspots ;) ), I did the rest myself :)
PS4 - Camp 18 should be 74R+1ES+120C+55A -> R: 50-60,07-74 (2-2,53-3Ru)
You need to attack camp 18 from the south (e.g. garrison location G5).Quote:

PS.
Check Mimori's map here to see where her attack on camp 18 goes from.
THNX ... I'll try this position next time ;)....btw I was reffering to the direct attack position the map was showing.
Hi again...I've played Sons of the Veld (SotV) recently, so I want to share the results.
I've used this tactical map, with two more blocks - camps 2,3,4,5 and camps 27,28.
The first one is a bit harder because I've used 2 tavern generals + 2 veterans -> 1 mine veteran + 1 veteran from the second player...I do have a screen for positioning the generals, but the numbering is based on an older map by MrBlunt.
Attack in order (according to my screen) is: G2 -> Camp 2 // G4 -> Camp 4 // G5 -> Camp 5 // G3 -> Camp 3 (2nd player)
Attack in order (according to MrBlunt tactical map) is: G4 -> Camp 4 // G2 -> Camp 2 // G3 -> Camp 3 // G5 -> Camp 5 (2nd player)
You have to time the generals yourself if you're up to this ;), becasuse if the servers are slow generals are starting longer (in my case 10-15sec = lag) so the starting position is different. For me it worked 30sec after G2 I've started G3 and second player started G5 for the first time I've tried this block and second time 40sec after G2 (MrBlunt numbering).
I will change/unite the numbering, but I have to play SotV again to take new pictures! ;)
The second block includes blocking the camp 27 with nomal (tavern) general (use the veteran position in the map) and the veteran was attacking camp 28 from the second landingzone - the second camp 1 must be destroyed before, but it's cheaper in comparison attacking the camp 27 and then camp 28.
I've also used another setup (7a/b , 13a/b , 21a/b , 26a/b) to minimize the Cavalery losses + Soldiers/Militia troops in the second wave.
Here are the troops I've used:
http://www.lanet.sk/tso/SotV2.png
PS - 13b - the losses should be in Militia column ;)

http://i50.tinypic.com/25tkl90.jpg
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.pngC)
Use the trading channel ( /joinchat global-3 ) or the forum ( Server Forums -> (Server where you play) -> ( Market place ) to get info about adventure sellers or if you want sell your adventures.
You could trade adventures like other items directly with your friends. Choose your friend, click on his avatar or name in the chat and choose trading. Then choose adventure in the trading window and send trade.
Once you have traded the adventure, you can find it under ‘items’.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Starting and adventure
To start an Adventure, click on an adventure map in the starmenu. There you can see what exactly the objective is and how long the adventure will take. The adventure difficulty is also listed here, marked by a colourscheme. Click on ‘start adventure’ to begin your journey towards the goal. The details of the adventure can be seen at any time, by clicking on the adventure in the friendslist and selecting ‘details’.
The colors of the "flower" in the logo reflects the approximate level of difficulty:
http://www.siedlertools.de/w/images/...ty-hunter2.png = easy = lvl1-4
http://www.siedlertools.de/w/images/f/fe/Outlaws2.png = medium = lvl4-6
http://www.siedlertools.de/w/images/f/f2/The_nords2.png = difficult = 6-9
http://www.siedlertools.de/w/images/...k_knights2.png = very difficult = 9
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Sending armies and visiting zones
Once the adventure is in your friendslist, you can click on it and visit the adventure zone to have a look around. If you want to take your army to battle, click on ‘Send army’, but make sure to first allocate units to your general on your home zone, as usual. Once you get a list with units to send, you chose your general and his units, so he can get on his way to the adventure map. You can send multiple generals to one adventure map.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Moving general in adventure
When your general first arrive in to area. It will position to landing zone. You can move general to another area, without him getting intercepted. You can see green area, where you can move your general.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.pngRecalling your General and reinforcement units
Sometimes its necessary to get reinforcements in order to complete the adventure map objectives, but this does mean your general needs to travel back to your home zone. To do this, you first need to visit the adventure map. Once there, click on yourself in the friendslist, and select ‘send army’. Chose the general you want to send back home
Note though, that you can send units between generals on the adventure zone. If you leave units on the adventure zone while your general is getting new units, they will wait for their general to return.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Co –op adventures and inviting friends
There are single and multiplayer adventure's at the moment available (1 Player, 2 or 3 Player). You could only invite people from your friendlist or guildmembers of your guild. Open the quest book, click on the adventure and then "invite friends".
When you invite a friend into you'r adventure, be sure he is online and could accept immediately. After you invite your friend, a mail go's forward to him and he has 8 hours time to accept. If he would not accept, there is no way to stop the invitation. So you have to wait 8 hours. After the 8 hours you should get an automatically denial-mail.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Adventure rewards
After you have successfully completed an adventure, you will find your reward in your mailbox.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Breaking off adventures and time-exceeded adventures
In the cases where the adventure has exceeded the time limit, or you had to break the adventure off, your general will automatically travel back to your home zone. Units that were left behind, specifically units without a general at that point, travel back to your home zone and are then placed in your Storehouse. You won’t get any reward in your mailbox, but you will get the experience points of the bandit camps that you have defeated till that point.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Adventure ends.
All troops assigned to a general come back with him after the adventure finished. Troops without a general come back per "Troops Transport". You could see it in your starmenu:
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7...ptransport.jpg
Assign troops to empty generals before you start you're last attack. So you save time for the troop transport. Without general, it takes 90 min to troops come back.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png How to Block
Allways use your block general, as normal general.
Block Method 1
http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/6727/blocka.jpg
As you can see our destination is leader camp number 2, destroying this camp, camp 1, will disappear. We cant atack camp 2, because we got intercepted camp 1 (see the red zone) and we must fight or block it, to reach leader camp.
Normal camp and traps have red zone
Leader camp have not red zone.
We take A general and send it with 1R, and atack bandit camp number 1.
When A general is fighting, red zone will disappear, and you can send B general to Leader camp, number 2.
Block gives 3-5 second to time, before general will loose battle. Normal general gives more time, than Battle hardned general.
You can send 2 or more general to camp 2, and if they reach destination, before red zone appear :
1. First general, who arrive start fighting in camp.
2. Second and third general is waiting in camp, and will not intercepted, when red zone appear.
3. Second and third general wait until First general is finished battle. 1. If first general wins, all generals return in own camps. 2. If first general loose, second general that arrive in camp, start fighting next. Third general fight if second loose, or return with second general.
If general wins and there is still bandit camp with redzone, general is not intercept, because general is allready reached destination and is returning.
As you can see, our block is going to fail, because general B cant reach Leader camp, number 2, in 3-5 second. General A will loose battle. Camp 1 got red zone back, General B got intercepted and atack camp 1.
http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/3587/blockingdp.png
Atack general A to block camp 1, (blue circle)
Send general B to camp when blocked 1 (lilac circle), when general A reach inside red circle.
Assing both your general 1 Recruit and send them like in picture. You loose battles and you need recover 4 hours and loose 2 recruits.
(A general must bee normal general)
(B general can bee normal, battle hardened or veteran general)
Your block is succesfull, when your both generals reach difference camp and fight in short time, same time.
http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/989/resultsoe.png
Your both generals fight in difference camps.
When you have practiced this enough, you can atack next time seriously.
http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9765/results2.png
General A lost his battle, and is retreating. Camp 1 is still left.
General B is still fighinting in camp 2 and is winning battle, camp 1 is removed, when B general wins battle.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.pngBLOCK METHOD 2
We atack General A to Camp 1. When general A is fighting, we send General B to Camp 2. B general start fighting and fight faster and destroy camp 2, before blocking general A loose or wins battle. When leader camp is defeated, bandit camp is automatically removed, and your block general A is not going loose any troops. Technically, block general A fights never finished so is same that it never started.
Some of those blocking method can do with both normal general, but there is high risk to fail block.
For example, pirates blocking method 3.
Player A used normal generals and was succesfull with blocking.
Player B used normal generals, and used same timing with A, but fails block
Some of those atack(s) general can be normal general, but you have chance fail block, in worst case scenario.
For example: The Island of the Pirates blocking method 3, (last block)
Player A used normal generals and was succesfull with blocking.
Player B used normal generals, and used same timing with A, but fails block
If you didnt understand text, please watch pictures:
http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9960/pirteblock1.png
Block general is fighting while another general is travelling to a bandit leader camp.
http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/2453/pirteblock2.png
Both generals are fighting in different camps
http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8728/pirteblock3.png
Both generals are fighting, but general that atacks leader camp is faster and start destroying leader camp.
http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/4214/pirteblock4.png
General destroyed leader camp, before block general looses battle or wins battle.
After leader camp was destroyed, both generals return back to garrisons. You see in middle that normal general battle still continue but hi does not loose any troops.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.pngHow to loot spots
http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1...rlootspots.jpg
1) lootspot "selling" (less losses / fast ending):
The easiest way to sell a lootspot:
- Buyer need normally a minimum losses: 1-5R
- Buyer sends the trade (coins/resources whatever ^^) to the seller
- Seller invite the Buyer
- Buyer kills one enemy unit (one wolf, one scavenger, 1 enemy is enough)
- Finishing adventure should be immediately after the attack of the buyer (normally around 1 hour)
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png"On adventures is there any benefit to taking out all of the camps?"
You will get only the XP (experience points) for defeating camps. So the benefit to taking out all of the camps is, that you will get the whole, possible XP from an adventure.
It is possible to skip some camps and get also all possible XP! If you defeat the camp leader of a sector, you will get the XP for the whole sector (inkl. the skiped camps).
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png
Combat System
As you can see by watching combat replay from battle reports, all units with the same initiative are attacking in the same phase, for clarity the attacks of your units are displayed first (but its still the same phase).
a) first phase (cavalry, dogs, wolves, shadowsneakers, most of the amazon type of units) - attack in the first phase, since they can damage units before those can strike back - their damage is usually decreased.
b) second phase - normal initiative (most units)
c) last strike - cannons, most of the viking type of units, most of the bosses
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png
Special abilities:
a) first strike - causes units to be able to attack in the first phase
b) attacks weakest target - obvious. In fights against any units with this ability it is highly advised to not use cavalry/ archers of any kind, as it usually comes with first strike and will eliminate all your weak units before they can fight back; there are however few tactical exceptions from this rule - you can sometimes add bowmen to your footmen/LB/crossbowmen army to draw enemy cavalry attacks, so that bowmen are killed instead of more valuable ranged units.; units: cavalry, shadowsneakers, guard dogs, like half of the amazon units, some bosses.
c) splash damage - causes unit to deal the damage that exceeds the amount of hp of the target to be applied to the next target. IE a boss that deals up to 800 damage would normally deal 800 damage to a recruit, effectively killing it. With splash damage, he will kill up to 20 recruits instead (as excessive damage will be dealt to the second one, third etc..) ; units with this ability - boss creatures, some of the pirates
d) tower bonus - this applies to archer units that are in towers and therefore harder to kill, tower takes longer to destroy
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.pngAdditional mechanics (apart from splash damage):
a) hit chance - this is confirmed by some sources that are unrelated to BB as the chance to deal maximum damage. If the hit is not successful, minimum damage is dealt instead.
Eg. 200 roughnecks against 200 soldiers, you have 100% chance of winning the fight as roughnecks have only 60% hit chance (meaning they will only deal half their damage 40% of the time).
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.pngPrinciples of army composition:
a) Use recruits. These are the fastest produced units, using the least materials that are the easiest to get (as producing them requires only basic structures, cheapest mines and technically the least number of buildings).
b) Attack twice whenever you can. Its always better to weaken the camp and then finish it with cavalry/archers than to engage in a fight that you win with barely any units left.
c) militia/soldiers do more damage than recruits, in a well calculated fight they can replace archers as extra damage dealers long as you dont lose them
d) bosses are attacked first. This is quite important, since there is plenty of fights where even throwing 200 soldiers to die will leave you with no units killed. Normally a way to avoid that is sacrificing cavalry to clear some of the units hiding behind the boss (attacks weakest units first -> rings a bell ?) up to a point when you can engage boss with a combination of footmen and archers (or just footmen if boss attacks weakest units aswell).

gratz sk_setttle for completing son of the veld. Is our schedule with Tage to play son of the veld, when finally this event is over. If you don't mind we use perhaps some of your garrison setting if we find them usefull :)
What are units labeled "X" in this map and when it says that a camp is a block camp, ex 2A says 28s 162C does that mean those are the troops needed to block? Has anyone tested all the blocks? How accurate are they all? If they are all sent within each other is it confirmed that blocks will be successful on all camps?Quote:

In general blocks are tested on guides, but do note ingame lag can and will mess up timed blocks.
Understood on the Xbow, the timing are for the blocks on section 2 on outlaw are pretty tested? and in each of those camps for the blocking troops used are the ones listed in that section? or are they all intended for 1r ea blocks and in that section depicts the alternative for killing the camps instead of blocking?
Nukar, Killste or Tage, have any of you tried blocking the 250 Housecarl camp near the last sector of Nords? Seems like a block can be done here which would really cut losses.
THNX and no problem, I would love to see some comments/changes/tips ;)Quote:

If you've got a Veteran General and enough crossbows and elite soldiers, it should be quite easy (with the block lasting at least 9 rounds):
Units needed: 70R 3S 131E 268C 200B 378XB
Units lost: 48-70R 200B
26) 150 HouseCarls [131E 69C (-)] {9 - 13.1 - 18 rounds}
28) 150 Karls [1S 199XB (-)] {1 round}
27) 150 Valkyries [1S 199C (-)] {1 round}
29a) 50 JomVikings, 140 HouseCarls, 30 Berzerks [200B (200B)] {1 round}
29b) 0-5 JomVikings, 140 HouseCarls, 30 Berzerks [70R 1S 179XB (48R - 59R - 70R)] {2 rounds}
Note that camps 27 and 28 would have to be attacked as part of the blocking,
in order to avoid the generals going to camp 29 from being intercepted.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png
Even if you haven't got crossbows or elite soldiers, this blocking should still be possible:
Units needed: 119R 280S 329C 200B 121LB
Units lost: 108-119R 0-9S 200B
26) 150 HouseCarls [171S 29C (-)] {7 - 10.6 - 17 rounds}
28) 150 Karls [98S 101C (-)] {5 - 8.3 - 14 rounds}
27) 150 Valkyries [1S 199C (-)] {1 round}
29a) 50 JomVikings, 140 HouseCarls, 30 Berzerks [200B (200B)] {1 round}
29b) 0-5 JomVikings, 140 HouseCarls, 30 Berzerks [119R 10S 121LB (108R - 119R 1S - 119R 9S)] {3 rounds}
In this case camp 28 would be round blocked to completely avoid losses on it.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png
If you're prepared to lose more expensive units than recruits, there are ways of killing camp 29 in one single attack, e.g:
29) 50 JomVikings, 140 HouseCarls, 30 Berzerks [85M 165XB (64M - 75M - 84M)] {3 rounds}
29) 50 JomVikings, 140 HouseCarls, 30 Berzerks [104S 146LB (85S - 94S - 103S)] {4 rounds}
The task remaining now is to find suitable garrison positions for timing the attacks. :)
seems a complete waste of time, since i can take out the last leader with 100b and 45m losses
camp 28 and 27 don't even require losses.
so the block would only mean camp 26, which doesn't have that much losses
Hi Tage...here is some inspiration how to cut the losees to minimum:
http://siedler-vision.de/wp-content/...rdiveteran.jpg
http://siedler-vision.de/wp-content/...nner_250er.jpg
http://www10.pic-upload.de/29.04.12/7utnuiikj3.jpg
Camp 2 can by blocked, so you can have 0 losses (if you would like, I'll post the picture how to set your generals), but with that kind of losses, it's almost not worth a try ;) (even though I use it everytime :) ).
How many soldier I need to the block attacks in the "Stealing" adventurer? I cant see it in the guide.
.
wasted lots of Cavalry and Soldiers with the 2nd method of the block tactic! The first general I sent in finished the battle way before the general fighting the leader! Use 1r and wait for general to recover instead.
A large majority of the numbers used in these guides are wrong. I just checked many of them, and they quote far lower max losses than when properly calculated (e.g. 1000+ repeats). Some of their setups could mean you lose S, Cav or even Xbow.Quote:

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?

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)]
Camp 1) 30 Recruit Deserters, 40 Bowman Deserters
ANY general: [1S 199C (-)]
Trap T9) 40 Wolves
ANY general: [1R 39S (1R)]
Camp 12) 20 Elite Soldier Deserters, 20 Crossbowman Deserters, 20 Cannoneer Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
VETERAN general: [82R 168S (46R - 74R - 82R)]
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G2
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)]
Camp 3) 65 Recruit Deserters, 85 Bowman Deserters
VETERAN general: [19R 1S 230C (14R - 17R - 19R)]
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:Send all three generals after each other in this order (as soon as you can):
- Position A: Normal general
- Position B: Normal general
- Position C: Veteran general
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
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [4R 94C (-)] {5 - 7.4 - 9 rounds of fighting}
From C to Camp 8) 40 Militia Deserters, 40 Cavalry Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
VETERAN general: [86R 164S (48R - 75R - 86R)] {3 rounds of fighting}
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.
Camp 18) 20 Militia Deserters, 60 Longbowman Deserters
VETERAN general: [1S 230C (-)]
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G5
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...leJet/SRG5.jpg
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}
From B to Camp 20) 40 Militia Deserters, 40 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
VETERAN general: [110R 140S (68R - 96R - 110R)] {3 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 (-)]
Tower 9) 30 Longbowman Deserters
ANY general: [100C (-)]
Tower 9) 30 Longbowman Deserters
ANY general: [100C (-)]
Camp 10) 30 Soldier Deserters, 30 Cavalry Deserters, 40 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
VETERAN general: [109R 141S (64R - 95R - 109R)]
Camp 11) 50 Soldier Deserters, 50 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
VETERAN general: [140R 110S (80R - 124R - 140R)]

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...
THNX Tage for the SftR...I'll definitely try block camps 6/7 :)
That's a very nice rich map, Tage, and well explained. would defineltely recomend it to new players, gj (I might peek too ;) )

Amazing long and detailed tactics in "words". My goal is to get it all in 1 picture in high detail.
I think I have done that for "traitors" with a veteran general.
Imageshack and this forum won't allow larger files so I cannot upload full version and max quality. But if you like it w me in game and I will mail it to you.
To be honest I was lost after 1st section. And I saw max lost units and I think I did better for I only will loose max 706 recruits and my actuals are only 640 recruits.
Regards,
Zothem
Let me know if you see any mistakes :)

So with the RB I've described in earlier post (OK...I know, since the Veteran, the block is not necessary, 4M+1ES+62C+183A or 1ES+65C+184A finishes with 0 losses, I've used it automatically because I was using it before the Veteran ;) ) and with Turions last attack I finished this gr8 adventure with only 126M losses.
Here's the setup.
Congrats! :)Quote:

(CLICK THE MAP TO SEE ALL OF IT)
You need at least 4 generals:Notes regarding the battle hardened general:
- Two NORMAL generals
- One BATTLE HARDENED general
- One VETERAN general
You need to send troops 9-13 times.
- The battle hardened general can always be replaced by another (your friend's?) veteran general.
- The battle hardened general can in fact be replaced by a normal general.
This will slightly prolong the fighting, and make the blocks a little more risky, so please be cautious.
If possible, avoid replacing the BHG with a normal general in the blocks sent from G1 and G5.
Two versions are presented below. Note that the versions can be mixed, if 2-3 players play it together.
Unless you're playing it alone, it's up to you to decide how you share the camps between you.
The units needed are valid only if you're playing it alone.
VETERAN general with Longbows
- Units needed, average: 1570R 11M 203S 196C 185LB (2165 units)
- Units needed, maximum: 1655R 11M 203S 209C 185LB (2263 units)
- Units lost, minimum: 1413R 11M 144S 164C
- Units lost, average: 1555R 11M 159S 179C
- Units lost, maximum: 1655R 11M 185S 209C
VETERAN general XB with Crossbows
- Units needed, average: 1334R 156M 200S 236C 165XB (2091 units)
- Units needed, maximum: 1428R 156M 200S 236C 165XB (2185 units)
- Units lost, minimum: 1222R 133M 41S 170C
- Units lost, average: 1334R 145M 54S 170C
- Units lost, maximum: 1428R 156M 65S 170C
This guide includes several round blocks of method 2.
Game flow, garrison settings and losses (minimum - average - maximum):
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G1
Most of your generals will have arrived in Landing Zone 1 (click the map above to see where it is).
For the first two attacks, move at least one veteran general to garrison position G1.
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e.../VictorG1A.jpg
Camp 1) 50 Thugs, 50 Guard Dogs, 50 Rangers
VETERAN general: [91R 140S (69R - 81R - 91R)]
Camp 2) 50 Roughnecks, 100 Rangers
VETERAN general: [38R 2S 180C 30LB (26R - 32R - 38R)]
VETERAN general XB: [35R 2S 196C 17XB (25R - 31R - 35R)]
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G1 (BLOCK)
Move at least one veteran, one battle hardened and two normal generals to garrison position G1:http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e.../VictorG1B.jpg
- Position A: NORMAL general
- Position B: NORMAL general
- Position C: BATTLE HARDENED general
- Position D: VETERAN general
Unless otherwise stated, send the generals right after each other:
From A to Camp 3) 100 Roughnecks, 50 Guard Dogs
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [109S 1C (-)] {7 - 9.2 - 13 rounds of fighting}
Send General B to Camp 4 some 10-15 seconds after General A, or when General A has reached this spot:
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...G1Btiming1.jpg
From B to Camp 4) 50 Roughnecks, 60 Guard Dogs, 50 Rangers
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [5S 195C (-)] {6 - 8.9 - 12 rounds of fighting}
From C to Camp 5) 99 Roughnecks, 100 Guard Dogs, 1 One-Eyed Bert
BATTLE HARDENED general: [116R (116R)] {2 rounds of fighting}
Send General D to leader camp 5 after General C has reached this position (General D is to follow behind General C):
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...G1Btiming2.jpg
From D to Camp 5) 90-98 Roughnecks, 1 One-Eyed Bert
VETERAN general: [88R 3S 159LB (62R - 77R - 88R 2S)] {2 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general XB: [88R 3S 159XB (62R - 77R - 88R 2S)] {2 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general XB: [60R 9S 181XB (53R - 60R 3S - 60R 8S)] {1 round of fighting}
The last version above is optional, and is only provided to show a possibility with a shorter fight.
It may be considered if you for some reason need to use a normal general instead of a battle hardened general from garrison C.
If General B was sent 15 seconds after General A, this should be the view when General A is about to start his fight:
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...ckingcamp3.jpg
This should be the view when General B is about to start his fight:
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...ckingcamp4.jpg
And finally, the rewarding view, shortly before the leader camp (and both blocked camps) will vanish:
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...llingcamp5.jpg
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G2 (BLOCK)
Move at least one veteran, one battle hardened and two normal generals to garrison position G2:http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...t/VictorG2.jpg
- Position A: NORMAL general
- Position B: NORMAL general
- Position C: BATTLE HARDENED general
- Position D: VETERAN general
Send the generals after each other. Don't be too stressed about it though.
This block has lots of spare time, and you can safely leave 10 seconds between the dispatches:
From A to Camp 7) 120 Roughnecks, 50 Rangers
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1M 70S 129C (-)] {7 - 9.7 - 14 rounds of fighting}
From B to Camp 8) 120 Roughnecks, 50 Guard Dogs
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [128S (-)] {7 - 9.4 - 13 rounds of fighting}
From C to Camp 9) 80 Roughnecks, 50 Guard Dogs, 60 Rangers, 1 One-Eyed Bert
BATTLE HARDENED general: [60R (60R)] {1 round of fighting}
From D to Camp 9) 79 Roughnecks, 60 Rangers, 1 One-Eyed Bert
VETERAN general: [85R 5S 50C 110LB (66R - 79R - 85R 4S)] {2 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general XB: [74R 2S 107C 67XB (53R - 64R - 74R)] {2 rounds of fighting}
If the attacks were sent right after each other, this will be the view shortly before Generals A and B start their fights:
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...ckingcamp9.jpg
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G3
Move at least one veteran general and two normal generals to garrison position G3.
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...t/VictorG3.jpg
Attack both remaining Nº 6 leader camps to the NW and SW (unfortunately the latter one is already gone from the map):
Camp 6a) 99 Roughnecks, 100 Guard Dogs, 1 One-Eyed Bert
ANY general: [116R (116R)]
Camp 6b) 90-98 Roughnecks, 1 One-Eyed Bert
VETERAN general: [88R 3S 159LB (62R - 77R - 88R 2S)]
VETERAN general XB: [88R 3S 159XB (62R - 77R - 88R 2S)]
Camps 6 can also be taken in single attacks. A couple of alternatives are presented below.
By further increasing the number of soldiers or elite soldiers, the number of recruits lost can still be reduced.
The risk of losing soldiers increases at the same time though.
Camp 6) 99 Roughnecks, 100 Guard Dogs, 1 One-Eyed Bert
VETERAN general: [200R 50S (149R - 181R - 200R 7S)]
VETERAN general: [184R 8S 58E (148R - 177R - 184R 8S)]
If you consider trying any of these on camp 5 above, please note that these last 4-6 rounds.
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G4 (BLOCK)
Move at least one veteran, one battle hardened and two normal generals to garrison position G4:http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...rG4Smaller.jpg
- Position A: NORMAL general
- Position B: NORMAL general
- Position C: BATTLE HARDENED general
- Position D: VETERAN general
Send the generals right after each other:
From A to Camp 11) 100 Roughnecks, 100 Guard Dogs
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R 125S (-)] {7 - 9.4 - 13 rounds of fighting}
From B to Camp 10) 100 Roughnecks, 100 Rangers
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1M 50S 149C (-)] {7 - 9.5 - 14 rounds of fighting}
If you have a VETERAN general with longbows, follow this:
From C to Camp 12) 90 Roughnecks, 100 Guard Dogs, 1 Skunk, 1 One-Eyed Bert
BATTLE HARDENED general: [120R (120R)] {2 rounds of fighting}
From D to Camp 12) 77-85 Roughnecks, 1 Skunk, 1 One-Eyed Bert
VETERAN general: [77R 5S 168LB (55R - 69R - 77R 3S)] {2 rounds of fighting}
If you have a VETERAN general XB with crossbows, follow this:
From C to Camp 12) 90 Roughnecks, 100 Guard Dogs, 1 Skunk, 1 One-Eyed Bert
BATTLE HARDENED general: [113R (113R)] {2 rounds of fighting}
From D to Camp 12) 81-89 Roughnecks, 1 Skunk, 1 One-Eyed Bert
VETERAN general XB: [84R 1S 165XB (57R - 71R - 84R)] {2 rounds of fighting}
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Wolf Trap
If a lootspot is sold, this is a good target for the lootspot buyer:
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...t/VictorT1.jpg
Trap T1) 100 Wolves
ANY general: [5R 101S (5R)]
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G5 (BLOCK)
Move at least one veteran, one battle hardened and one normal general to garrison position G5:http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e.../VictorG5B.jpg
- Position A: NORMAL general
- Position B: BATTLE HARDENED general
- Position C: VETERAN general
Send the generals right after each other:
From A to Camp 13) 100 Roughnecks, 100 Rangers
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1M 50S 149C (-)] {7 - 9.5 - 14 rounds of fighting}
From B to Camp 15) 155 Roughnecks, 40 Guard Dogs, 1 Metal Tooth
BATTLE HARDENED general: [40C (40C)] {1 round of fighting}
From C to Camp 15) 155 Roughnecks, 1 Metal Tooth
VETERAN general: [11M 109S 130LB (11M 94S - 11M 102S - 11M 108S)] {3 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general XB: [156M 2S 92XB (133M - 145M - 156M 1S)] {3 rounds of fighting}
Both above attacks from C to camp 15 actually have a very small chance (one in about 5,000) of longbows or crossbows being lost.
When playing this with Killste (and seeing what units we had available) and seeing the losses, I soon realised that this attack is one
where players might want to mix longbows/crossbows and militia/soldiers, all depending on what they possess and are prepared to lose.
The only criterion in the mixing should be that the number of rounds fighting must not be more than 3.
Thus, I've made a rather complete list of optional setups below, where no longbows or crossbows are lost (after 25,000 simulations):
From C to Camp 15) 155 Roughnecks, 1 Metal Tooth
VETERAN general: [001M 119S 130LB 00XB (1M 101S - 1M 108S - 1M 118S)]
VETERAN general: [014M 109S 122LB 05XB (14M 92S - 14M 99S - 14M 109S)]
VETERAN general: [032M 096S 112LB 10XB (32M 80S - 32M 87S - 32M 95S)]
VETERAN general: [043M 089S 103LB 15XB (43M 73S - 43M 80S - 43M 88S)]
VETERAN general: [054M 081S 095LB 20XB (54M 65S - 54M 73S - 54M 80S)]
VETERAN general: [065M 074S 086LB 25XB (65M 58S - 65M 65S - 65M 73S)]
VETERAN general: [079M 065S 076LB 30XB (79M 49S - 79M 56S - 79M 64S)]
VETERAN general: [089M 058S 068LB 35XB (89M 40S - 89M 49S - 89M 58S)]
VETERAN general: [100M 050S 060LB 40XB (100M 34S - 100M 41S - 100M 49S)]
VETERAN general: [122M 036S 047LB 45XB (122M 19S - 122M 27S - 122M 35S)]
VETERAN general: [132M 029S 039LB 50XB (132M 14S - 132M 20S - 132M 28S)]
VETERAN general: [145M 020S 030LB 55XB (145M 4S - 145M 11S - 145M 19S)]
VETERAN general: [159M 011S 022LB 58XB (151M - 159M 2S - 159M 10S)]
VETERAN general: [167M 006S 017LB 60XB (151M - 162M - 167M 5S)]
VETERAN general: [172M 002S 011LB 65XB (147M - 161M - 172M)]
VETERAN general: [170M 002S 008LB 70XB (147M - 158M - 170M)]
VETERAN general: [170M 005S 000LB 75XB (143M - 157M - 169M)]
VETERAN general: [166M 004S 000LB 80XB (141M - 153M - 165M)]
VETERAN general: [162M 003S 000LB 85XB (139M - 150M - 162M)]
VETERAN general: [158M 002S 000LB 90XB (135M - 147M - 158M)]
VETERAN general: [157M 002S 000LB 91XB (133M - 146M - 157M 1S)]
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Garrison Position G6
Move at least one veteran general and two normal generals to garrison position G6.
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...t/VictorG6.jpg
Note that the attacks on camps 17 and 19 can be placed anywhere along the red attack route.
The attack on camp 18 must originate from one of the garrison positions shown, or from a position further to the east.
Otherwise that attack will walk too close to camp 16 and be intercepted.
Camp 17a) 80 Roughnecks, 80 Guard Dogs, 40 Rangers
ANY general: [96R (96R)]
Camp 17b) 76-80 Roughnecks, 40 Rangers
VETERAN general: [63R 2S 80C 105LB (46R - 55R - 63R 1S)]
VETERAN general XB: [60R 1S 139C 50XB (42R - 51R - 60R)]
Alternatively, camp 17 can also be defeated in one wave:
Camp 17) 80 Roughnecks, 80 Guard Dogs, 40 Rangers
VETERAN general: [170R 80S (139R - 152R - 170R 3S)]
Camp 18) 80 Roughnecks, 100 Rangers, 1 Skunk
VETERAN general: [92R 2S 123C 33LB (65R - 78R - 92R)]
VETERAN general XB: [78R 2S 115C 55XB (48R - 63R - 78R)]
http://static3.thesettlersonline.com...r/ornament.png Camp 19 for VETERAN general
If you have a VETERAN general XB with crossbows, and absolutely detest losing soldiers, you might consider this.
Otherwise, look for a better solution further down.
Camp 19a) 100 Scavengers, 50 Rangers, 1 Wild Mary, 2 Skunks
ANY general: [125R 65C (125R 65C)]
Camp 19b) 68-87 Scavengers, 1 Wild Mary, 2 Skunks
VETERAN general:
This wave is critical, since it has to kill the remaining scavengers.
Instead of saying you must check the combat simulator for your own best solution, I'm listing all of them here.
I have tried to optimise them for minimal horse losses. Note that this wave must be a VETERAN general.

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...

This guide includes three (optional) round blocks of method 2. One of the blocks can be replaced by a 1R block of method 1.
Game flow, garrison settings and losses (minimum - average - maximum):
http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com...s/ornament.png Landing Zone (Camp 1)
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...Jet/WotSLZ.jpg
Kill the first camp as soon as a general with enough troops has arrived:
Camp 1) 40 Cultists
ANY general: [1R 196C (-)]
ANY general: [1S 194C (-)]
ANY general: [1E 188C (-)]
Lord DRACUL: [1S 180C (-)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [1S 145C (-)]
http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com...s/ornament.png Garrison Position G1 (Camps 2-3) (OPTIONAL BLOCK)
If you do not have a VETERAN general, and wish to use the block, move two generals to garrison position G1:http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...t/WotSG1-1.jpg
- Position A: NORMAL general or MASTER of Defence
- Position B: ANY general (your best general)
If you do have a VETERAN general, attack camp 3 directly, and let him be intercepted by camp 2.
He will defeat camp 2 with no losses and then attack camp 3:
Camp 3) 50 Cultists (Camp 2) and 40 Cultists, 40 Fanatics (Camp 3)
VETERAN general: [5R 1S 244C (2R - 4R - 5R)]
VETERAN general: [4R 1E 245C (2R - 4R - 4R)]
MAJOR general: [2R 1E 267C (0R - 1R - 2R)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [2R 1S 217C (0R - 1R - 2R)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [1R 1E 218C (0R - 1R - 1R)]
If you do not have a veteran general, consider using the block to save some 4R, that would otherwise be lost if you attack camp 2.
Send both generals right after each other:
From A to Camp 2) 50 Cultists
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [88C (-)] {120 - 180 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING MASTER of Defence: [75C (-)] {130 - 230 seconds of fighting}
From B to Camp 3) 40 Cultists, 40 Fanatics
ANY general: [12R 188C (8R - 10R - 12R)] {80 seconds of fighting}
ANY general: [11R 1S 188C (8R - 10R - 11R)] {80 seconds of fighting}
ANY general: [10R 1E 189C (8R - 10R - 10R)] {80 seconds of fighting}
ANY general: [10R 1E 188C 1K (8R - 10R - 10R)] {60 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [11R 1S 188C (8R - 10R - 11R)] {40 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [10R 1E 189C (8R - 10R - 10R)] {40 seconds of fighting}
Lord DRACUL: [9R 1S 190C (4R - 6R - 9R)] {30 - 40 seconds of fighting}
Lord DRACUL: [8R 1E 191C (4R - 6R - 8R)] {30 - 40 seconds of fighting}
If general B was sent right after general A, then the remaining marching time for general B, from the moment general A starts his blocking fight on camp 2, is 30-35 seconds. Thus, in the worst case, if general B is a slow general, camp 3 will be killed in 110-115 seconds, leaving a margin of only 5 seconds for the block, which lasts at least 120 seconds. If you have a fast general B, then the block is very safe, leaving a margin of more than 45 seconds.
If you do not have enough cavalry for the block, do not have a fast general, or just do not care about losing the few extra recruits, you may of course also kill both camps, one at a time:
Camp 2) 50 Cultists
ANY general: [6R 194C (2R - 4R - 6R)]
ANY general: [5R 1S 194C (2R - 4R - 5R)]
ANY general: [4R 1E 195C (2R - 4R - 4R)]
Lord DRACUL: [3R 1S 196C (0R - 1R - 3R)]
Lord DRACUL: [2R 1E 197C (0R - ½R - 2R)]
VETERAN general: [1S 244C (-)]
VETERAN general: [1E 238C (-)]
Camp 3) 40 Cultists, 40 Fanatics
ANY general: [12R 188C (8R - 10R - 12R)]
ANY general: [11R 1S 188C (8R - 10R - 11R)]
ANY general: [10R 1E 189C (8R - 10R - 10R)]
Lord DRACUL: [9R 1S 190C (4R - 6R - 9R)]
Lord DRACUL: [8R 1E 191C (4R - 6R - 8R)]
VETERAN general: [5R 1S 244C (2R - 4R - 5R)]
VETERAN general: [4R 1E 245C (2R - 4R - 4R)]
http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com...s/ornament.png Garrison Position G2 (Camp 4)
Move two generals to garrison position G2:http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...Jet/WotSG2.jpg
- Position A: NORMAL general
- Position B: BATTLE HARDENED general or VETERAN general
From B to Camp 4) 60 Cultists

ANY general: [11R 1S 188C (7R - 10R - 11R)]

If you do have a fast general, do try the block. Send both generals right after each other:
From A to Camp 5) 60 Shadowsneakers, 40 Dark Priests
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [54S (-)] {100 - 120 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [47S 16C (-)] {100 - 120 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [53E (-)] {120 seconds of fighting, <0.1% chance of 100 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1S 51E 3C (-)] {120 seconds of fighting}
From B to Camp 6) 33 Cultists, 33 Shadowsneakers, 33 Dark Priests
BATTLE HARDENED general: [52R 85S (49R - 51R - 52R)] {30 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [52R 80E (49R - 51R - 52R)] {30 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [52R 79E 1K (49R - 51R - 52R)] {20 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [52R 1E 76K (49R - 51R - 52R)] {20 seconds of fighting}
Lord DRACUL: [51R 85S (45R - 48R - 51R)] {20 - 30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [38R 44S (33R - 36R - 38R)] {20 seconds of fighting}
If general B was sent right after general A, then the remaining marching time for general B, from the moment general A starts his blocking fight on camp 5, is 60-65 seconds. Thus, without cannoneers, camp 6 will be killed in 90-95 seconds, leaving a margin of only 5 seconds for the block, which lasts at least 100 seconds.
If you do not have a fast general, camps 5 and 6 can be attacked in one single attack.
Send your general to camp 6, and let him be intercepted by camp 5:
Camp 6) 60 Shadowsneakers, 40 Dark Priests (Camp 5) and 33 Cultists, 33 Shadowsneakers, 33 Dark Priests (Camp 6)
ANY general: [200R (91R - 95R - 99R)]
ANY general: [97R 85S (91R - 95R - 97R)]
ANY general: [97R 15S 70E (91R - 95R - 97R)]
ANY general: [97R 80E (91R - 95R - 97R)]
They can of course also be attacked one at a time:
Camp 5) 60 Shadowsneakers, 40 Dark Priests
ANY general: [125R (42R - 44R - 46R)]
ANY general: [45R 65S (42R - 44R - 45R)]
ANY general: [45R 65E (42R - 44R - 45R)]
Camp 6) 33 Cultists, 33 Shadowsneakers, 33 Dark Priests
ANY general: [155R (49R - 51R - 53R)]
ANY general: [52R 85S (49R - 51R - 52R)]
ANY general: [52R 15S 70E (49R - 51R - 52R)]
ANY general: [52R 80E (49R - 51R - 52R)]
http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com...s/ornament.png Garrison Position G3 (Camps 7-9) (OPTIONAL BLOCK)
Move 2-3 generals to garrison position G3:http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...Jet/WotSG3.jpg
- Position A: NORMAL general (needed only if you have cannoneers)
- Position B: NORMAL general
- Position C: BATTLE HARDENED general or VETERAN general
For the full 2-way block, you need cannoneers, or a MASTER of Martial Arts with crossbows.
Send general A to camp 7 first, then wait till he has reached the indicated spot, before sending generals B and C:
From A to Camp 7) 120 Cultists
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [5S 194C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, <0.1% chance of 120 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [4E 194C (-)] {140 - 240 seconds of fighting}
When general A has reached the spot shown in the inset above, send generals B and C right after each other:
From B to Camp 8) 80 Cultists, 60 Dark Priests
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [193C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, <0.1% chance of 120 seconds}
From C to Camp 9) 40 Cultists, 120 Shadowsneakers, 1 Dark High Priest
BATTLE HARDENED general: [52R 18M 1E 129K (52R 9M - 52R 16M - 52R 18M)] {30 seconds of fighting}
Lord DRACUL: [63R 8M 1S 1E 127K (62R - 63R 6M - 63R 8M 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [78R 123E 49K (66R - 76R - 78R)] {30 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [78R 1E 130K (66R - 76R - 78R)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [43R 1S 47B 129XB (38R 26B - 42R 36B - 43R 47B)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [75R 2S 28E 115K (45R - 57R - 75R 2S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [77R 28E 115K (45R - 58R - 77R 1E)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [53R 52E 115K (45R - 52R - 53R 8E)] {30 seconds of fighting} (*
*) In this last case the risk of losing 8E is about one in 2,000.
If generals B and C were sent right after each other when general A reached the beach, then the remaining marching time for general C, from the moment general A starts his blocking fight on camp 7, is 100-105 seconds. Thus, camp 9 will be killed in about 135 seconds, leaving a margin of only 5 seconds for the block, which should last at least 140 seconds.
If you do not have cannoneers, kill camp 7 first:
From C to Camp 7) 120 Cultists
ANY general: [59R 69C 72LB (48R - 52R - 58R)]
ANY general: [56R 2S 70C 72LB (48R - 52R - 56R)]
ANY general: [52R 1S 94C 53XB (46R - 49R - 52R)]
ANY general: [51R 1E 95C 53XB (46R - 49R - 51R)]
ANY general: [50R 1E 96C 53K (45R - 49R - 50R)]
Lord DRACUL: [50R 2S 98C 50LB (41R - 45R - 50R 2S)]
Lord DRACUL: [48R 2S 116C 34XB (40R - 43R - 48R 1S)]
Lord DRACUL: [48R 1S 1E 116C 34K (40R - 43R - 48R 1S)]
VETERAN general: [45R 1S 184C 20LB (36R - 40R - 45R)]
VETERAN general: [42R 1S 189C 18XB (35R - 39R - 42R)]
VETERAN general: [41R 1E 190C 18XB (35R - 39R - 41R)]
VETERAN general: [41R 1E 191C 17K (35R - 39R - 41R)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [37R 1S 182C (31R - 34R - 37R)]
If you have a fast general, you can now use a round block on camp 8.
Send both generals right after each other:
From B to Camp 8) 80 Cultists, 60 Dark Priests
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [193C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, <0.1% chance of 120 seconds}
From C to Camp 9) 40 Cultists, 120 Shadowsneakers, 1 Dark High Priest
BATTLE HARDENED general: [120R 80S (107R - 120R 2S - 120R 16S)] {70-80 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [118R 6S 76E (107R - 118R 2S - 118R 6S)] {70 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [104R 1E 95K (86R - 100R - 104R)] {40 seconds of fighting}

Lord DRACUL: [125R 75S (103R - 120R - 125R 2S)] {60-70 seconds of fighting}
Lord DRACUL: [123R 2S 75E (83R - 120R - 123R 2S)] {50-70 seconds of fighting}
Lord DRACUL: [63R 8M 1S 1E 127K (62R - 63R 6M - 63R 8M 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [105R 145S (66R - 96R - 105R)] {50-60 seconds of fighting}

VETERAN general: [78R 1E 130K (66R - 76R - 78R)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [78R 142S (66R - 76R - 78R 1S)] {40 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [78R 135E (66R - 76R - 78R)] {40 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [75R 2S 28E 115K (45R - 57R - 75R 2S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [77R 28E 115K (45R - 58R - 77R 1E)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [53R 52E 115K (45R - 52R - 53R 8E)] {30 seconds of fighting} (*
*) In this last case the risk of losing 8E is about one in 2,000.
If general C was sent right after general B, then the remaining marching time for general C, from the moment general B starts his blocking fight on camp 8, is about 35 seconds. Thus, in the worst case, camp 9 will be killed in about 115 seconds, leaving a margin of only 5 seconds for the block, if it would last only 120 seconds. In most cases the block does however last at least 140 seconds.
If you do not have a fast general, you may still use a 1R block on camp 8.
Send both generals right after each other:
From B to Camp 8) 80 Cultists, 60 Dark Priests
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)] {20 seconds of fighting}
From C to Camp 9) 40 Cultists, 120 Shadowsneakers, 1 Dark High Priest

MASTER of Martial Arts: [53R 52E 115K (45R - 52R - 53R 8E)] (In this case the risk of losing 8E is about one in 2,000)
This 1R block is rather tight. It takes about 15 seconds for general B to march through the agro zone of camp 8.
If your main general gets intercepted by camp 8, retreat him immediately.
If you do not wish to use the block, attack camps 8 and 9 one at a time (from any convenient position up close):
Camp 8) 80 Cultists, 60 Dark Priests
ANY general: [58R 142C (45R - 50R - 58R)]

MASTER of Martial Arts: [53R 52E 115K (45R - 52R - 53R 8E)] (In this case the risk of losing 8E is about one in 2,000)
Without soldiers, camp 9 can also be taken in two waves:
Camp 9a) 40 Cultists, 120 Shadowsneakers, 1 Dark High Priest
ANY general: [121R (121R)]
Camp 9b) 1 Dark High Priest
ANY general: [25R 140LB (20R - 24R - 25R)]
http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com...s/ornament.png Camp 10 (WITCH TOWER)
If you own a master of martial arts, it is cheaper to use him for the suicidal first wave.
The main option if you've got a master of martial arts, is to use 15R and bowmen to kill off some cultists.
The Witch of the Swamp, who's got first strike ability, will kill those 15R, allowing your bowmen to strike once after her.
The general will in this case only get one hit on the dark priests, killing 22 or 25 of them.
I have tried to optimise the setups for a minimal total loss, depending on your second best general.
If you do own a master of martial arts, consider using him twice (2 hours resting in between).
Especially if you've got cannoneers, in which case the suicidal wave is a single recruit.
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests
MASTER of Martial Arts: [15R 99B (15R 99B)]
Camp 10b) 5-29 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 74-77 Dark Priests

MASTER of Martial Arts: [127R 4S 1E 38C 50K (108R - 124R - 127R 4S)]
If you have at least one master of martial arts you may also consider using him more than once for the suicide.
Open the spoiler for setups covering these:
Spoiler
If you do have a master of martial arts, but do not want to lose any bowmen, these next setups lose only recruits.
Using 213R in the first wave will ensure that the general gets three hits on the dark priests, killing 67-75 of them:
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests
MASTER of Martial Arts: [213R (213R)]
Camp 10b) 1 Witch of the Swamp, 24-32 Dark Priests

ANY general: [29R 11S 80C 80XB (20R - 27R - 29R)]
Using 143R in the first wave will ensure that the general gets two hits on the dark priests, killing 45-50 of them:
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests
MASTER of Martial Arts: [143R (143R)]
Camp 10b) 33-41 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 49-54 Dark Priests

MASTER of Martial Arts: [42R 2S 1E 111C 64K (30R - 40R - 42R 2S)]
If you haven't got a master of martial arts, but do own a veteran general, this is probably the cheapest setup (thanks Mangalyurek):
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests
ANY general: [15R 132B (15R 132B)]
Camp 10b) 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests

MASTER of Martial Arts: [63R 1S 1E 103C 52K (47R - 59R - 63R 1S)]
If your best general is Lord Dracul, it is more advantageous to use him for a first, suicidal wave:
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests
Lord DRACUL: [85R 115C (85R 115C)]
Camp 10b) 38-64 Cultists, 2-24 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [78R 2S 33C 87LB (50R - 66R - 78R 1S)]
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests
Lord DRACUL: [135R 65C (135R 65C)]
Camp 10b) 11-40 Cultists, 35-52 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [97R 2S 52C 49XB (54R - 78R - 97R 1S)]
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests
Lord DRACUL: [155R 45C (155R 45C)]
Camp 10b) 0-29 Cultists, 56-66 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [84R 2S 1E 79C 34K (56R - 77R - 84R 2S)]
The following solutions are all based on losing only cavalry and recruits:
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests
ANY general: [75R 125C (75R 125C)]

If you do not own a veteran general and your best units are longbowmen,
and if you prefer losing militia over cavalry, choose this alternative:
Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 99 Dark Priests

Camp 10b) 47-55 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 23-39 Dark Priests

All garrison setups have been simulated at least 5000 times, using this simulator.
Even if I do the utmost to ensure that no errors occur anywhere, I am only human, and errors might always appear.
Thus, I do recommend that you double-check all setups in the simulator, especially before trying an attack the first time in a newly published setup.
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 might save 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 or thousands of times...
On the other hand, all garrison setups have also been made so that the risk of losing longbows or crossbows is next to negligible.
Due to this, some setups have more recruits/soldiers than what can be seen in other guides.
In some cases this will increase the maximum losses (of recruits), but save the rare occasion of losing crossbows.
All round blocks have been optimised using Andelar's TSO battle simulator V1.0.1 and double-checked using this simulator.
The duration of the blocks and attacks are based on this post.
