Garrison Position G1 (BLOCK)

Back to Map

Move your best general and one normal general to garrison position G1:

• Position A: NORMAL general
• Position B: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general

Send both generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 1) 100 Cultists, 100 Fanatics
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [43S 155C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting, <0.1% chance of 100 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [29E 171C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING MASTER of Defence: [23E 177C (-)] {100 - 300 seconds of fighting}

From B to Camp 2) 100 Cultists, 100 Shadowsneakers
BATTLE HARDENED general: [62R 138S/E (55R - 59R - 62R)] {40 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [62R 1M 137K (55R - 59R - 62R)] {30 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [58R 192S (53R - 56R - 58R)] {30 (40) seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [58R 192E (53R - 56R - 58R)] {30 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [58R 2M 190K (53R - 56R - 58R 1M)] {20 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [58R 110S/E (53R - 56R - 58R)] {20 seconds of fighting}
Champion ANSLEM: [31R 95E (31R)] {20 seconds of fighting}

Champion VARGUS: [48R 1S/E 131C (35R - 39R - 48R)] {30(40) seconds of fighting}

If sent within 5 seconds after general A, the remaining marching time for general B, from the moment general A starts his fight, is about 40 seconds. With the fight for camp 2 lasting a maximum of 40 seconds, a block of 80 seconds would be needed. Thus, you have at least 40 seconds spare time with this block.




Garrison Position G2 (BLOCK)

Back to Map

Move your generals to garrison position G2:

• Position A: NORMAL general
• Position B: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general
• Position C: BATTLE HARDENED general (only needed if you do not have a veteran general)

If you have a VETERAN general, send both generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 3) 80 Cultists, 40 Shadowsneakers, 80 Fanatics
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [26S 174C (-)] {120 - 200 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [12S 13E 170C (-)] {120 - 200 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [23E 170C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}

VETERAN general: [154R 96S (141R - 148R - 154R 1S)] {40 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [154R 96E (141R - 148R - 154R)] {40 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [153R 2M 95K (139R - 147R - 153R 1M)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MAJOR general: [122R 2M 146K (111R - 118R - 122R 1M)] {20 seconds of fighting}

Champion NUSALA: [82R 1E 82K (53R - 59R - 82R)] {20(30) seconds of fighting}
Champion VARGUS: [126R 1S/E 53C (92R - 100R - 126R)] {30(40) seconds of fighting}


If you have two BATTLE HARDENED generals, send all three generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 3) 80 Cultists, 40 Shadowsneakers, 80 Fanatics
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [26S 174C (-)] {120 - 200 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [12S 13E 170C (-)] {120 - 200 seconds of fighting}

BATTLE HARDENED general: [161B (161B)] {10 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [167R (167R)] {20 seconds of fighting}

From C to Camp 4) 13-40 Fanatics, 40 Dark Priests
BATTLE HARDENED general: [3R 1E 196C (0R - 0R - 3R)] {30 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [3R 196C 1K (0R - 0R - 3R)] {20 seconds of fighting}


If sent within 5 seconds after general A, the remaining marching time for general B, from the moment general A starts his fight, is about 65 seconds. With the fight for camp 4 lasting a maximum of 50 seconds, a block of 115 seconds would be needed. Thus, you have at least 5 seconds spare time with this block.




Garrison Position G3 (BLOCK)

Back to Map

Move your generals to garrison position G3:

• Position A: NORMAL general
• Position B: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general
• Position C: BATTLE HARDENED general (only needed if you do not have a veteran general)

If you have a VETERAN general, send both generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 5) 200 Cultists
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [75S 120C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [5S 54E 133C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [57E 137C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}

From B to Camp 6) 120 Cultists, 80 Dark Priests
VETERAN general: [103R 5S 1E 141C (92R - 100R - 103R 5S)] {50 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [120R 4S 1E 90C 35LB (105R - 117R - 120R 4S)] {40 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [113R 1S 1E 110C 25XB (100R - 107R - 113R 1S)] {40 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [103R 4S 1E 141C 1K (92R - 100R - 103R 4S)] {40 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [113R 1S 1E 110C 25K (100R - 107R - 113R 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MAJOR general: [90R 1S 1E 177C 1K (73R - 82R - 90R 1S)] {40 seconds of fighting}
MAJOR general: [92R 1S 1E 154C 22K (77R - 86R - 92R 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [92R 1S 1E 96C 30LB (77R - 85R - 92R 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [87R 1S 1E 109C 22XB (72R - 79R - 87R 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [87R 1S 1E 109C 22K (72R - 79R - 87R 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}
MASTER of Martial Arts: [83R 1S 1E 135C (71R - 76R - 83R 1S)] {40 seconds of fighting}
Champion NUSALA: [75R 1S/E 89C (51R - 58R - 75R)] {30-40 seconds of fighting}
Champion NUSALA: [57R 1S 1E 82C 24XB (48R - 52R - 57R 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}


If you have two BATTLE HARDENED generals, first send generals A and B right after each other:

From A to Camp 5) 200 Cultists
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [75S 120C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [5S 54E 133C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [57E 137C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}

From B to Camp 6) 120 Cultists, 80 Dark Priests
ANY general: [162B (162B)] {20 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [162B (162B)] {10 seconds of fighting}

Send general C when general B has reached the indicated spot in the inset in the image above.
General C is to march behind general B. If he marches out before general B, recall all three generals.

From C to Camp 6) 47-78 Dark Priests
BATTLE HARDENED general: [1E 199C (-)] {30 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [199C 1K (-)] {20 seconds of fighting}


If general B is sent within 5 seconds after general A, the remaining marching time for general B, from the moment general A starts his fight, is about 75 seconds. With the fight for camp 6 lasting a maximum of 50 seconds, a block of 125 seconds would be needed. Since there is a chance of the block lasting only 120 seconds (especially if you do not have elite soldiers), I would refrain from using any combination of attack(s) on camp 6 that would last 50 seconds.




Garrison Position G4

Back to Map

Move one normal general and two fast generals to garrison position G4:

• Position A: NORMAL general
• Position B: BATTLE HARDENED general
• Position C: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general

First, kill camp 7:

For the block, send all three generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 8) 80 Cultists, 120 Dark Priests
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [36S 164C (-)] {120 - 240 seconds of fighting, minimal chance of 100 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [18S 16E 164C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [29E 168C (-)] {140 - 240 seconds of fighting}


If you have a MAJOR general or a MASTER of Martial Arts, follow this (only one wave needed):

From B to Camp 9) 50 Cultists, 150 Dark Priests
MAJOR general: [128R 6S 1E 134C 1K (113R - 124R - 128R 6S)] {30 (40) seconds of fighting}

Champion NUSALA: [98R 1S 1E 65C (68R - 75R - 98R 1S)] {30 seconds of fighting}


If you have a MAJOR general, you may also follow this:

From B to Camp 9) 50 Cultists, 150 Dark Priests
ANY general: [115B (115B)] {20 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [115B (115B)] {10 seconds of fighting}

From C to Camp 9) 86-106 Dark Priests

ANY general: [122B (122B)] {20 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [122B (122B)] {10 seconds of fighting}

From C to Camp 9) 78-99 Dark Priests
VETERAN general: [1E 249C (-)] {30 seconds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [249C 1K (-)] {20 seconds of fighting}


If you have two BATTLE HARDENED generals, follow this:

BATTLE HARDENED general: [142B (142B)] {10 seconds of fighting}

From C to Camp 9) 58-79 Dark Priests
BATTLE HARDENED general: [1E 199C (-)] {30 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [199C 1K (-)] {20 seconds of fighting}


If sent within 5 seconds after general A, the remaining marching time for general B, from the moment general A starts his fight, is about 75 seconds. With the fight for camp 9 lasting a maximum of 40 seconds, a block of 115 seconds would be needed. Thus, you have at least 5 seconds spare time with this block. Do not use any combination of attacks lasting more than 40 seconds on camp 9!

Back to Map

Move your generals to garrison position G6:

• Position A: NORMAL general
• Position B: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general
• Position C: BATTLE HARDENED general (only needed if you do not have a veteran general)

If you have a VETERAN general, send both generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 14) 200 Cultists
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [75S 120C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}

Do not try this block in a laggy situation. All generals must be sent within 3 seconds.
If you do this, you will have a total margin of only 5-10 seconds in the end.
Camp 19 (and possibly camp 18 too) will be almost gone when camp 23 finally dies (check the spoiler for a picture):

Spoiler

If you don't have a veteran general or enough cannoneers, or if you do not have enough generals,
or if you fear this 5-way block, browse down a bit to find alternative 4- and 3-way blocks.
If you own only four normal generals, you may still try this block by using a battle hardened general in position E.

Send all generals right after each other.
Be sure you know in which order and where to send each general.
Note especially the order of generals A and B, and that general C is sent before general D.
There is no time to check the guide once you've started to send them.

You may use a stop watch to help see if you've been fast enough.
Start sending general A at 0 seconds, and send all generals without hesitating.
When the last general has been sent, check the stop watch. It should read less than 20 seconds.
If it's over 25 seconds you are late and should retreat all generals (if you still can).
If you have at least one cannoneer in the last wave, then you do get an extra 10 seconds of spare time though.

If you have a MASTER of Martial Arts your best solution is probably to use him for the suicidal general F.


If you have a MASTER of Martial Arts and a BATTLE HARDENED general follow this:

From F to Camp 23) 50 Cultists, 49 Shadowsneakers, 100 Dark Priests, 1 Dark High Priest

If you have a VETERAN general with Cannoneers, you may also opt to kill camp 23 in one wave:

From F to Camp 23) 50 Cultists, 49 Shadowsneakers, 100 Dark Priests, 1 Dark High Priest
VETERAN general: [73R 50S 1E 126K (73R 44S - 73R 48S - 73R 50S)] {30 seconds of fighting}

BATTLE HARDENED general: [59R 1E 8C 132K (27R - 43R - 59R)] {30 seconds of fighting}



If you don't have enough normal generals for the 5-way block above, you may opt for a 3-way or 4-way block instead.
Open the spoiler for details about killing camps 18 and/or 19 first:

Spoiler

The most critical camp in the 5-way block is camp 19. Thus, we'll get rid of that one for the 4-way block.
In order to kill camp 19, place your general(s) to the left of the green line in the image below.
If you place your generals to the right of that line, you will get intercepted by camp 18.
If you opt for the 3-way block, kill camp 18 first, followed by camp 19.



Camp 19 may be killed in one wave, but with larger losses than if killed in two waves:

Camp 19) 50 Shadowsneakers, 150 Dark Priests
VETERAN general: [154R 96S (152R - 153R - 154R)]
VETERAN general: [153R 97E (152R - 153R - 153R)]
ANY general: [188R 12S (165R - 178R - 188R 2S)]


For minimal losses, camp 19 should be killed in two waves:

If you have an ANY general, follow this:

Camp 19a) 50 Cultists, 50 Shadowsneakers, 100 Dark Priests
ANY general: [138R (138R)]
ANY general: [135B (135B)]

Camp 19b) 70-79 Dark Priests

If you aim for the 3-way block, which you must if you don't have a VETERAN general and no cannoneers, kill camp 18 as well:

If you have an ANY general, kill camp 18 in two waves for minimal losses:

Camp 18a) 60 Cultists, 70 Shadowsneakers, 70 Dark Priests
ANY general: [155R (155R)]

Camp 18b) 57-70 Dark Priests

Lootspot

Back to Map

Unless you've played this adventure together from the beginning,
you should invite your friends (lootspot buyers) once the central block from G7 is done.
Each lootspot buyer should bring a general with 1R.

Your lootspot buyers will arrive in landing zones 2 and 3.
If you have already cleared all camps along those routes, let your lootspot buyers attack camp 13 before you kill camp 12 from G8 below.

Your friends may of course also help you by sacrificing cavalry on the witch tower or by attacking it with a master of martial arts.
Having to train 1000C alone is a rather daunting task... Split on 3 players, the whole task becomes a lot easier.




Optional Clearing of Southwestern route, Garrison Position G8 (BLOCK)

Back to Map

Camps 1 - 10 and 11 - 13 can be skipped. If you want their 12310 XP, open the spoiler for details:

Spoiler

Move your generals to garrison position G8:

• Position A: NORMAL general
• Position B: VETERAN general or BATTLE HARDENED general
• Position C: BATTLE HARDENED general (only needed if you do not have a veteran general)

If you have a VETERAN general, send both generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 11) 200 Cultists
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [75S 120C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [5S 54E 133C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [57E 137C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}

Champion NUSALA: [75R 1S/E 89C (42R - 49R - 75R)] {30(40) seconds of fighting}


You may also use two waves to kill camp 12. Send all three generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 11) 200 Cultists
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [75S 120C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [5S 54E 133C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [57E 137C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}

From B to Camp 12) 100 Cultists, 100 Fanatics
BATTLE HARDENED general: [61B (61B)] {10 seconds of fighting}

From C to Camp 12) 40-48-57 Cultists, 100 Fanatics
VETERAN general: [49R 1E 200C (26R - 38R - 49R)] {40 seconds of fighting}


If you have two BATTLE HARDENED generals, send all three generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 11) 200 Cultists
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [75S 120C (-)] {120 - 220 seconds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [5S 54E 133C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [57E 137C (-)] {140 - 220 seconds of fighting, 0.2% chance of 120 seconds}

From B to Camp 12) 100 Cultists, 100 Fanatics
BATTLE HARDENED general: [156B (156B)] {10 seconds of fighting}

From C to Camp 12) 50-79 Fanatics
BATTLE HARDENED general: [1E 199C (-)] {30 seconds of fighting}
BATTLE HARDENED general: [199C 1K (-)] {20 seconds of fighting}


If sent within 5 seconds after general A, the remaining marching time for general B, from the moment general A starts his fight, is about 60 seconds. With the fight for camp 12 lasting a maximum of 50 seconds, a block of 110 seconds would be needed. Thus, you have at least 10 seconds spare time with this block.


The remaining four leader camps are easy to kill one by one:

Final Assault on the Witch Tower

Back to Map

Once the central area has been cleared, the path towards the Witch Tower opens up.
There are three leader camps and one ordinary camp before the Witch Tower.
Only the one ordinary camp (25) must be killed. Most players don't bother about camps 24, 26 or 27.




Camp 25) 66 Cultists, 66 Shadowsneakers, 66 Dark Priests

Camps 24, 26 and 27 can be skipped. If you want their 6692 XP, open the spoiler for details.
I am only providing setups for those having a veteran general. Without a veteran, just skip these camps.

Spoiler

Camp 24 (1900 XP) is the toughest of these optional camps, and is very seldom attacked.
For minimal losses (which still aren't small) you need two waves with a veteran general:

If you have a VETERAN general with Crossbows, follow this:

Camp 24a) 66 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 66 Dark Priests, 66 Firedancers
VETERAN general: [153R 80C (153R 80C)]

The second wave depends on the remaining number of dark priests and firedancers:

Camp 24b) 1 Witch of the Swamp, 0-5 Dark Priests, 54-66 Firedancers
Camp 24b) 54 Firedancers VETERAN general: [58R 1S 152C 39XB (39R - 52R - 58R)]
Camp 24b) 55 Firedancers VETERAN general: [59R 1S 151C 39XB (40R - 54R - 59R)]
Camp 24b) 56 Firedancers VETERAN general: [61R 1S 149C 39XB (41R - 55R - 61R)]
Camp 24b) 57 Firedancers VETERAN general: [62R 1S 147C 40XB (43R - 57R - 62R)]
Camp 24b) 58 Firedancers VETERAN general: [64R 1S 145C 40XB (45R - 58R - 64R)]
Camp 24b) 59 Firedancers VETERAN general: [65R 1S 144C 40XB (46R - 60R - 65R)]
Camp 24b) 60 Firedancers VETERAN general: [67R 1S 142C 40XB (47R - 61R - 67R)]

Camp 24b) 62 Firedancers VETERAN general: [69R 1S 140C 40XB (50R - 64R - 69R)]
Camp 24b) 63 Firedancers VETERAN general: [71R 1S 138C 40XB (51R - 65R - 71R)]
Camp 24b) 64 Firedancers VETERAN general: [72R 1S 137C 40XB (53R - 67R - 72R)]
Camp 24b) 65 Firedancers VETERAN general: [73R 1S 136C 40XB (54R - 68R - 73R)]
Camp 24b) 66 Firedancers VETERAN general: [75R 1S 133C 41XB (56R - 70R - 75R)]
Camp 24b) 1 Dark Priest VETERAN general: [76R 1S 132C 41XB (57R - 71R - 76R)]
Camp 24b) 2 Dark Priests VETERAN general: [77R 1S 131C 41XB (58R - 72R - 77R)]
Camp 24b) 3 Dark Priests VETERAN general: [78R 1S 130C 41XB (59R - 73R - 78R)]
Camp 24b) 4 Dark Priests VETERAN general: [79R 1S 129C 41XB (60R - 74R - 79R)]
Camp 24b) 5 Dark Priests VETERAN general: [80R 1E 128C 41XB (61R - 75R - 80R)]


If you have a VETERAN general with Cannoneers, follow this:

Camp 24a) 66 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp, 66 Dark Priests, 66 Firedancers
VETERAN general: [170R 80C (170R 80C)]

The second wave depends on the remaining number of firedancers:

Camp 24b) 1 Witch of the Swamp, 58-65 Firedancers
Camp 24b) 58 Firedancers VETERAN general: [47R 1E 150C 52K (33R - 43R - 47R)]
Camp 24b) 59 Firedancers VETERAN general: [48R 1E 148C 53K (34R - 45R - 48R)]
Camp 24b) 60 Firedancers VETERAN general: [50R 1E 146C 53K (36R - 46R - 50R)]
Camp 24b) 61 Firedancers VETERAN general: [51R 1E 145C 53K (37R - 48R - 51R)]
Camp 24b) 62 Firedancers VETERAN general: [53R 1E 143C 53K (38R - 49R - 53R)]
Camp 24b) 63 Firedancers VETERAN general: [54R 1E 142C 53K (40R - 50R - 54R)]
Camp 24b) 64 Firedancers VETERAN general: [55R 1E 141C 53K (41R - 52R - 55R)]
Camp 24b) 65 Firedancers VETERAN general: [56R 1E 140C 53K (42R - 53R - 56R)]
Camp 24b) 65 Firedancers VETERAN general: [57R 1E 138C 54K (43R - 54R - 57R)]


Compared to the previous one, Camp 26 (1650 XP) is an easy one:

With a Champion NUSALA it may even be taken in one wave:

Champion NUSALA: [124R 1S/E 40C (78R - 84R - 124R)]


Otherwise, with a suicidal wave:

Camp 26a) 66 Cultists, 66 Dark Priests, 66 Firedancers
ANY general: [55B (55B)]

The second wave depends on the remaining number of cultists:

Camp 26b) 11-28 Cultists, 66 Dark Priests, 66 Firedancers
Camp 26b) 11 Cultists VETERAN general: [69R 1S 180C (61R - 65R - 69R)]

Camp 26b) 28 Cultists VETERAN general: [82R 1S 167C (72R - 77R - 82R)]


Camp 27 (3142 XP) gives the most experience of these optional camps:

Camp 27a) 66 Cultists, 66 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes, 2 Dark High Priests
ANY general: [140B (140B)]

The second wave depends on the remaining number of firedancers:

Camp 27b) 3-30 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes, 2 Dark High Priests
Camp 27b) 3 Firedancers VETERAN general: [76R 1S 173XB (63R - 73R - 76R)]

Using an Assassin on the Witch Tower
It is highly advantageous to use an Assassin on the tower.
If one of the players is level 50, and is prepared to use an Assassin now, please open the spoiler below.

Spoiler

First, you need to get rid of all Shadowsneakers and Firedancers. After all Shadowsneakers and Firedancers have been killed, an assassin would wipe out either the 2 Spawns of Hell, or all remaining Dancing Dervishes.

The cheapest way is to use a Master of Martial Arts five times, each time making a suicide attack with 1R.
The setups below show you several alternatives, based on how many time a suicide attack can be made:

Camp 28a) 2 Spawns of Hell, 66 Shadowsneakers, 66 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [1R (1R)]

Camp 28b) 2 Spawns of Hell, 61-62 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [177C (177C)] -> Move down to Assassin (attack 28f)
MASTER of Martial Arts: [1R (1R)]

Camp 28c) 2 Spawns of Hell, 45-47 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [123C (123C)] -> Move down to Assassin (attack 28f)
MASTER of Martial Arts: [1R (1R)]

Camp 28d) 2 Spawns of Hell, 29-32 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [65C (65C)] -> Move down to Assassin (attack 28f)
MASTER of Martial Arts: [1R (1R)]


After four attacks with MoMA and 1R, you should have no more than 15 firedancers alive. In rare cases you may however be left with 16 or 17 firedancers. Choose your next setup below, depending on the number of remaining firedancers:

Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 13-15 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [1R (1R)]

Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 16 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [5C (5C)]

Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 17 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [10C (10C)]


When all firedancers have been killed, use an Assassin to kill one of the remaining types of troops:

Camp 28f) 2 Spawns of Hell, 65-66 Dancing Dervishes
ASSASSIN


The last attack depends on which units the assassin got rid off and which ones remain:

Camp 28g) 2 Spawns of Hell
VETERAN general: [250S (130S - 146S - 158S)]
VETERAN general: [150S 100E (128S - 145S - 150S)]
VETERAN general: [62R 38M 150K (62R 28M - 62R 36M - 62R 38M)]
MAJOR general: [119R 1M 150K (105R - 116R - 119R)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [189S 31E (173S - 189S 5E - 189S 24E)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [9R 100M 111K (9R 89M - 9R 97M - 9R 100M)]

Camp 28g) 65-66 Dancing Dervishes
ANY general: [150LB (-)]
ANY general: [100XB (-)]
VETERAN general: [210S (-)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [200S (-)]

Otherwise, in order to defeat the Witch Tower you will first have to defeat all auxiliary troops of the two Spawns.
Since the Spawns defend first, the only troops you can use are cavalry.

The 66 Dancing Dervishes are the hardest auxiliary troops to kill, and on average you will need some 11-12 cavalry per dervish.
A Master of Martial Arts corresponds to some 56-62 cavalry, and he will himself always kill 5 dancing dervishes.
A Champion Nusala will kill 11 dancing dervishes (10% chance) or 16 dancing dervishes (90% chance).

All in all you will need about 1000 cavalry to kill the 66 shadowsneakers, 66 firedancers and 66 dancing dervishes.
The cheapest way is of course to use your Master of Martial Arts (or Nusala) over and over again, in total 19 times, losing a total of only 19R.

Your first 5 attacks with a Master of Martial Arts and 1R will kill all shadowsneakers and firedancers.
After this 65 or 66 Dancing Dervishes are still alive.
if you do not have a Nusala, and if 66 dancing dervishes are alive, send your Master of Martial Arts with 5C against the dancing dervishes:

Camp 28f) 2 Spawns of Hell, 66 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [5C (5C)]

Three times out of four this attack will kill six dancing dervishes, instead of five.
If 6 dancing dervishes are killed, then you will need another 12 attacks with your Master of Martial Arts and 1R.
If only 5 dancing dervishes were killed, then send another 5C with your next attack, and so on, till 6 of them die.
Successfully killing one extra dancing dervish with those 5C would save you the 19th attack.

Otherwise, after 17 such attacks of killing only 5 dancing dervished, you would still need two 1R attacks,
or one attack with 12C to kill them in the 18th wave:

Camp 28r) 2 Spawns of Hell, 6 Dancing Dervishes
MASTER of Martial Arts: [12C (12C)]

After this, move down to the final attack 28g against the Witch Tower, further down.


Using ordinary generals, the Witch Tower will require at least 5 waves of cavalry, and another wave or two to kill the spawns after that.

Camp 28a) 2 Spawns of Hell, 66 Shadowsneakers, 66 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
ANY general: [200C (200C)]

Camp 28b) 2 Spawns of Hell, 25-32 Firedancers, 66 Dancing Dervishes
ANY general: [200C (200C)]

Camp 28c) 2 Spawns of Hell, 54-59 Dancing Dervishes
ANY general: [200C (200C)]

Camp 28d) 2 Spawns of Hell, 34-47 Dancing Dervishes
ANY general: [200C (200C)]

Try to kill all remaining Dancing Dervishes now. Normally there should be 18-20 remaining at this stage:

Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 14-29 Dancing Dervishes
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 24 Dancing Dervishes VETERAN general: [250C (250C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 23 Dancing Dervishes VETERAN general: [244C (244C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 22 Dancing Dervishes VETERAN general: [234C (234C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 21 Dancing Dervishes VETERAN general: [223C (223C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 20 Dancing Dervishes VETERAN general: [213C (213C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 19 Dancing Dervishes VETERAN general: [202C (202C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 19 Dancing Dervishes ANY general: [200C (200C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 18 Dancing Dervishes ANY general: [192C (192C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 17 Dancing Dervishes ANY general: [181C (181C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 16 Dancing Dervishes ANY general: [171C (171C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 15 Dancing Dervishes ANY general: [160C (160C)]
Camp 28e) 2 Spawns of Hell, 14 Dancing Dervishes ANY general: [150C (150C)]

In most cases you should have been able to kill all Dancing Dervishes after the above five waves.
If some Dancing Dervishes would still be alive, you must kill them all before the last attacks.
If you have a VETERAN general with Cannoneers, you may leave up to 3 Dancing Dervishes alive.

Camp 28f) 2 Spawns of Hell, 0-11 Dancing Dervishes
Camp 28f) 2 Spawns of Hell, 13 Dancing Dervishes ANY general: [140C (140C)]

If you have a VETERAN general with Cannoneers, you may opt to have up to 3 Dancing Dervishes alive now.
If you have a VETERAN general make sure you've killed all Dancing Dervishes:

Camp 28g) 2 Spawns of Hell, 3 Dancing Dervishes
VETERAN general: [104M 146K (91M - 100M - 104M)]
MAJOR general: [65R 60M 145K (65R 47M - 65R 57M - 65R 60M)]

Camp 28g) 2 Spawns of Hell, 2 Dancing Dervishes
VETERAN general: [23R 80M 147K (23R 68M - 23R 77M - 23R 80M)]
MAJOR general: [83R 40M 147K (83R 29M - 83R 37M - 83R 40M)]

Camp 28g) 2 Spawns of Hell, 1 Dancing Dervish
VETERAN general: [44R 58M 148K (44R 47M - 44R 55M - 44R 58M)]
MAJOR general: [104R 18M 148K (104R 8M - 104R 15M - 104R 18M)]

VETERAN general: [62R 38M 150K (62R 28M - 62R 36M - 62R 38M)]
MAJOR general: [119R 1M 150K (105R - 116R - 119R)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [220S (173S - 199S - 220S)] (***
MASTER of Martial Arts: [189S 31E (173S - 189S 5E - 189S 24E)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [9R 100M 111K (9R 89M - 9R 97M - 9R 100M)]

***) Please note that this attack has a 3.5% chance of losing all 220S and thus leaving one Spawn of Hell alive.
If that happens, please check attack 28h below regarding how to kill the remaining Spawn.


If you only have ANY generals, two waves will be needed against the two spawns:

Camp 28g) 2 Spawns of Hell
ANY general: [190S (190S)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [179S (179S)]
MASTER of Martial Arts: [75R 145S (75R 145S)]

MASTER of Martial Arts: [65M 155E (58M - 64M - 65M)]






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.

Nice one Tage You have time to upload your guide, since I come back thursday and upload it then in front page.

[sk8erboi]

For easy reference, the image below shows where your first 20 generals would land.

"first 20 generals" LMAO

[der_heikle_lukas]

"first 20 generals" LMAO

and what is so LMAO about having 20 generals?

[Tage]

LOL

and what is so LMAO about having 20 generals?

The theoretical maximum number of generals for one player is a bit lower than 20:

• 5 normal generals
• 6 battle hardened generals
• 2 veteran generals
• 1 Grim Reaper (from the Halloween event)
• 1 Stronghelmet (from the first retail package)

So having 20 generals on the island requires you to have invited at least one friend.

When making that picture, I did have a good friend invited who sent all her 8 generals.
Then she sent hers back, and I moved my 12 generals around to get that picture.

[Gerontius]

I've just started doing Dark Brotherhood myself - But have only 1 vet, 3 normal generals and no Cannons.

Here's a variation for the central area that I worked out based on a couple of 1R blocks. The block is essentially zero risk because if it goes wrong you're only likely to lose 2 recruits, but it is a little tight. Also, it can be done even with just 4 normal generals - you can kill the central camp with 2 normal waves since time is not an issue, just that losses are higher.

First you have to kill the leader camps above and to the right of the central area, then you have to clear the four camps around the top of the central tower. Then you get this:


A close up of how your generals should look just before they go into combat:


If you had another normal general, I think you could clear out the leader to the south west of the central area and send another 1R block from there. That way you would only have to clear out three of the camps in the central area before doing the block to get to the central tower.

[XiozZe]

I have some things for your Victor guide, Tage:

Camp 2) 50 Roughnecks, 100 Rangers
ANY general: [55R 2S 144C (39R - 47R - 54R 1S)]
VETERAN general: [38R 2S 180C 30LB (26R - 32R - 38R)]
VETERAN general: [35R 2S 196C 17XB (25R - 31R - 35R)]

Except that you use 201 soldiers, here is a better version:
ANY general: [46R 2S 123C 29XB (28R - 36R - 46R 1S)]

Garrison Position G1 (BLOCK)



Send the first three generals right after each other, and general D when general C has reached the indicated spot:

From A to Camp 3) 100 Roughnecks, 50 Guard Dogs
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [110S (-)] {6 - 8.9 - 13 rounds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [51S 56E (-)] {7 - 9.0 - 14 rounds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [101E (-)] {7 - 8.6 - 14 rounds of fighting}

From B to Camp 4) 50 Roughnecks, 60 Guard Dogs, 50 Rangers
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [7S 193C (-)] {6 - 7.2 - 12 rounds of fighting}
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [6E 194C (-)] {6 - 7.2 - 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 when General C is walking past garrison D (General D is to follow behind General C):

From D to Camp 5) 90-98 Roughnecks, 1 One-Eyed Bert
BATTLE HARDENED general: [92R 2S 106XB (62R - 77R - 92R)] {2 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [88R 3S 159LB (62R - 77R - 88R 2S)] {2 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [88R 3S 159XB (62R - 77R - 88R 2S)] {2 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [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 need to use a normal general instead of a battle hardened general from garrison C.


If general D is a BATTLE HARDENED general with Longbows, use these for generals C and D:

From C to Camp 5) 99 Roughnecks, 100 Guard Dogs, 1 One-Eyed Bert
BATTLE HARDENED general: [145R (145R)] {2 rounds of fighting}

Send General D to leader camp 5 when General C is walking past garrison D (General D is to follow behind General C):

From D to Camp 5) 72-82 Roughnecks, 1 One-Eyed Bert
BATTLE HARDENED general: [78R 2S 120LB (51R - 65R - 78R 1S)] {2 rounds of fighting}

You prefer not using the full block when having only one BATTLE HARDENED general, now my calculations:

First, general A should be this:

BLOCKING NORMAL general: [4R 93E 25C(-)] {6 - 8.1 - 13 rounds of fighting}
You think it's worse? No it isn't, because Tage's has, including countdown, a 0,21% chance of 160 sec (the 101E one), otherwise 180 sec or higher, and mine a 0,04% chance of 160 sec


From A to Camp 3): 18 flags, 180 sec block time (normal general) (fail chance 0,04%)
From B to Camp 4): 28 flags, 160 sec block time (normal general)
From C to Camp 5): 42 flags, 40 sec fighting time (normal general)
From D to Camp 5): 40 flags (but not important, cause he starts fighting after C stops) 20 + 20 sec fighting time (fast general)

42 - 18 = 24 flags walking time = 80 seconds walking time
5 secondes for sending each general

all together, it means that you gonna expect this:

0 sec You send general A
5 sec You send general B
10 sec You send general C
25 sec You send general D
60 sec general A starts battle
100 sec general B starts battle
150 sec general C starts battle
155 sec general D arrives at camp 5
190 sec general C loses, general D starts battle
220 sec if the block fails, general A block stops here
230 sec general D wins battle, everyone returns home!
240 sec without general D, general A block stops
260 sec without general D, general B block stops

This means, you can do the first block with one BATTLE HARDENED general!
You need some E though.....

oh, and can you make a BATTLE HARDENED general section (max losses etc.) in your guide please? thanx in advance

p.s. nice work on BD, but my pony's are more valuable then trying your guide

[Tage]

but it is a little tight

Indeed. 5 flags for general C to march from the edge of the red area to the center of camp 23.
And on top of that also general D must make it all the way to that same camp before the block finishes,
so he really needs to march right behind general C.

But certainly doable.
I've done my own setup having a 1R block for general E as well.
The only reason I didn't mention it in the guide is the risk that general G would be too late, even if general F made it in time.
And if that would happen, then all five blocks would fight till the end and 700+ cavalry
(which you will still need for the witch tower) would be gone with the wind...

If you had another normal general, I think you could clear out the leader to the south west of the central area and send another 1R block from there. That way you would only have to clear out three of the camps in the central area before doing the block to get to the central tower.

Unfortunately that wouldn't be worth it. Before the central area has been cleared,
the southwestern route cannot be cleared any other way than all the way from Landing Zone 1.
You cannot attack camp 12 from the north, because camp 6 would intercept him.

Are you sure? I fought my way in from landing zone 2 to star with and am pretty certain I can clear camps 9-13 down south without getting into trouble. (the adventure is still running as I write)
