[Guide] Killste : Collected Adventure Guides by Various Authors

hi Killste,
Glad your continuing on from SidV, i find these guides a great help to us starters.

I have done Witch of the Swamp quiet afew times now and like it even though of the big Cav loss. Here's my tweek'd numbers i use if you wish to have a look.

1. 40 Cultist. 200 Cav
2. 50 Cultist. 4R, 1S, 195Cav (4R)
3. 40 Cultist, 40 Fanatic. 10R, 1S 195Cav (10R)
4. 60 Cultist. 10R, 1S, 189Cav (10R)
5. 40 Dark Priest, 60 Shadowsneaker. 45R, 155S (45R)
6. 33 Cultist, 33 DarkPriest, 33 Shadowsneaker. 51R, 149S (51R)
7. 120 Cultist. 54R, 76Cav, 70S (51R)
8. 80 Cultist, 60 DarkPriest. 51R, 5S, 144Cav (50R)
9. 40 Cultist, 120 Shadowsneaker, 1 Dark HighPriest. 110R, 10M, 80S (110R, 9M)
10. 100 Cultist, 99 DarkPriest, Witch of the Swamp. 1st. 125R, 75Cav. 2nd. 90R, 50Cav, 8S, 52LB (215R, 75Cav, 5S)

These are the highest number of losses i have had, when i got lower ofc just counted it as a bonus.
Edit. I now use Killste's figures for 10. results in less resources being lost.

The second wave may be trimmed according to 1st wave results:
my last was: b) 77R 113C 60LB 76R


Tips. With skip method your generals need to attack from landing zone (you need to wait because they travel long distance) and you dont get full experience from adventure. I just wanted add this method because I like skipping method and it's reduce losses with recruits. Good tactic if you want loot and don't care much of experience points. Skipped camps are bandit leader camps and they don't have red zone that will intercept your general.

Tage with quote: "All garrison setups where recruits and soldiers are included have a very small chance of one soldier 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... "


Thanks to Lamy updating to map, if you don't mind, I post it here.

I played the witch yesterday and i made a mistake in one camp so @ the end i had not enough recruits to follow your guide 100% so i choose a different setting for the second wave on the castle.
After the first wave i had 42 cultist, 38 dark priest and the witch left and i send my troops like this to the castle:20 Soldier, 87 Recruits,43 LB, 50C
My lost has just been 84 R.:D

I tried combat simulator your garrison setting and you were lucky. In worst case, first wave dont kill enough troops and you could loose second wave 87 recruits and 14 soldiers.

Hey i used your tactical map for the witch of the swamps, it has an error in it , at Purple camp 1 it says to bring 175cav, instead of 175 LB, thus resulting in me losing my entire cavalry army please change that so we can once more blindly follow your guide

thanks for your feedback im sorry for your losses, I change it immediatly.

Garssion settings is now fixed

Im sorry for your losses. Add me in game as friend and I give you 200coins 1 noble deed and 2k horses for sorry for my error. I hope these "rewards" will help you.

Nice guides thanks for making them :)

First of all, it's good that someone has the energy to keep making tactical maps for others to use. I know I don't ;)

However, I just finished Stealing from the rich, and I'd like to point out that the map is somewhat unclear about the second blocking. The big map shows G5 in position B on one place, and the smaller image that tells you how and when to do the block, has it in another place. It's also rather hard to tell exactly where that place is. You should consider clearifying this a bit.

Both blockings on this map worked for me though, once I had the positions right, so thanks!
