Here is a good image guide by Seamus1! With Elites

http://www.thesettlersonlinewiki.com...ith-Elites.JPG

LAST CAMP = 175R - 75E ( DON'T USE X-BOWS )

Special Thanks to ThankMe from Northisle

As there are different difficulty levels... can people please write what level they are when they post and/or include the bandit troops. I do understand that this will take more time, but it will be more useful for those that are looking for help:)

And for those that are looking at these - it might be worth simulating a few camps yourself to ensure that the difficulty level in your adv matches what are in these guides. Otherwise you might find that you have lost a lot more troops than expected

Careful on camp 12, with that setup u'll lose cavalry!!!

The Mystical shaman has "Attack weakest target" and "Splash damage", which means using Crossbowmen will be disastrous (camp 14).
Could be that the description is wrong (he has no "Attack weakest target") or that guide is a from a lower difficulty adventure than mine (I'm level 49).

im only level 32 and dont have elite soldiers or xbow what do i do and need i need help

so this guide is ok till camp 12 ???

For start, you can use this link

But in the end at hard camps you need several waves.

I'm Level 45 so if you are lower/higher you *might* have a different setup, but here is my guide so far... I'll edit once I get the last 3 camps sorted out.

No blocking in this guide, but there is the opportunity if you are able. (Camps 2 & 6 Easy 1R blocks, others might need more troops to block with).

The Shaman - Guide (Lvl 45, if your level is different check the camp qty's)

Before anything else, click on the Rocks (mountains) to get rid of them.

Camp guards (BL=Bandit Leader, DCL=Dark Cult Leader);
1) 100 Scavenger, 50 Ranger
2) 80 Scavenger
BL 3) 50 Scavenger, 50 Guard Dog, 80 Stone Thrower

Max Losses Total: 1159R 40C 10B [Actual Losses Total: 1070R 40C 10B]

in last camp you can use bowmen insted of recs and your xbow wount suffer

I'm Lvl 35. Attacking with 2 regular generals ... just finished 2 adventures back-to-back so am low on resources, this will take a while for me to complete.

Reward for removing stones blocking path quest: 25 Balloons.

Sector 1
Camp 1: 100 Scav, 50 Ranger.
Attacked with 55R, 145C ... lost 49R.
Camp 2: 80 Scav.
Attacked with 22R, 178C ... lost 19R.
Leader Camp 1: 50 Scav, 50 Guard Dog, 80 Stone Thrower.
Attacked with 130R, 70S ... lost 114R.

(moved army to little village)

Sector 2
Camp 4: 80 Scav, 100 Thug.
- skipped.
Camp 5: 90 Scav, 80 Ranger.
- skipped.
Camp 6: 80 Scav, 80 Stone Thrower.
Attacked with 40R, 160C ... lost 35R.
Leader Camp 2: 100 Scav, 80 Guard Dog, 1 Skunk.
Attacked with 77R, 123S ... lost 72R.

Will complete this as I slowly move through the adventure. I realise that you can skip straight through to to the village after sector 2, but am going through this camp by camp.
--> Got bored so skipped 2 camps in sector 2. Got no reward for "clear Sector 1" quest.

It is taking me too long to complete this adventure to be of any use to anyone ... have no resources ready to get the needed Recruits for the next camps. Sorry guys, tried my best.

cheers.

I'll add some simple blocks based on this map as I work my way through the adventure:

Camps 2 and 3
Place blocking (normal) general as close as you can (ie where the map says "G1"). Place attacking general just behind. The precise location of the generals doesn't matter, but it's easier if they're close together like this.

Preview the path of the attacking general and count 10 flags. Remember the location of the tenth flag. It should be somewhere around the dead tree near the entrance to the first sector if you've placed the generals as described above.

Send the blocking general at camp 2, then get your attacking general ready to attack camp 3. Send the attacking general just after the blocking general has reached the 10th flag of the preview path.

Camps 4 and 5
Move blocking (normal) general as close as possible (ie where the map says "G2"). Place attacking (fast) general at the second closest position available, below and to the left of the normal general (ie just below the retro hut, to the left of the retro well).

Blocking general: 5 Elites, 150 Cavalry
a 1R block is probably possible, but looks very tight. Instead, a fight with this set-up will last at least 4 rounds, which should always be enough:

For the attacking general, any attack scheme that takes 2 rounds is pretty sure to work, which means you really need to be using a veteran. If you only have a battle hardened general, 40 Militia and 160 soldiers almost always takes 2 rounds and you'll lose around 5 of the soldiers.

Send the blocking general first, and the attacking general immediately afterwards.

Have a look here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...kE&usp=sharing.

I've been doing various math crafting for people without Elites or Crossbow.

You can do the first 2 sectors with 1R blocks too..
Placing is easy.. it's like it was made for it..

how you skipped one more sector to shaman

The attack on camp 14 with xbows is totally wrong, since the shaman attacks the weakest target...

One of the first quests you get is to click on the rocks... If you click on the rocks... you can move your generals straight to G2 position...

A safe attack on the shaman camp is 125 recruits, 125 cannons. If you don't have cannons, it might be better to use two attacks, I haven't done the maths.

Edit:
150r, 50s, 50e will get you through losing about 20 soldiers. Obviously this isn't an optimized setup, but it's safe :)

where are the stones you need to click on ?

I used 100 Recruits, 20 Militia, 130 Cannoneers (2 rounds, 96R lost). 120 Recruits, 130 Cannoneers will probably do the trick also.

The camp with 80 Cultists, 60 Shadowsneakers, 50 Firedancers can be blocked using 180 Recruits (3 rounds, 100% chance of victory).
Place the blocking general next to the witch tower and the attacking general on the other side of the rocks (as close as possible) and send the attacker out first, followed by the blocker. You may want to let the attacker walk a few flags before sending out the blocker.

It might be possible to block the camp with 40 Shadowsneakers, 80 Firedancers, 80 Dancing Dervishes, but I haven't tried it.
I used a two wave attack. Wave 1: 100 Recruits; wave 2: 4 Recruits, 1 Elite Soldier, 135 Cavalry, 110 Crossbowmen (max. 104R lost).

Done it with 150R 40S 60E and lost only 4S. My guess is if you use 150R 20S 80E you will lose only R

You're most likely right. But for the most part, I prefer losing a few extra recruits and soldiers, rather than risk losing elites.

Until one of the simulators get the Shaman built in, perfecting an attack will be quite cumbersome.

I'm sure it can still be tweaked for x-bows but was designed for a few of our lower guildies, but at least it's something.

im lvl 41 and used the setup for shaman. I lost 80A and 20e so yes. be careful.

Is it true the only reward for this game is 14k XP. Do you lose 1000R for the privilege?

Serial, yes it is true no loot.

if you made it for the lower guildies, in your guild, wy did you make it with elite soldies, then ?

If people doesn't have x-bows, then they don't have elites either ....

otherwise, i think it's great work, you've done there :)
