In Outlaws line:

5. 150 Roughneck [1: 50R 50B 2: 150R 50LB (145R 50B)] is a mistake

While recalculating it, i discovered it to be [1: 50R 50B 2: 150R 50LB (197R 50B)].

13. 60 Thug, 60 Guard Dog, 60 Ranger [200R (153R)] should be (156R)
14. 60 Thug, 60 Guard Dog, 60 Ranger [200R (153R)]should be (156R) aswell.

That's a loss of 58R more!

The actual loss-count on the script was 1746R added with these 58R, makes a grand-total of 1804R 250B

instead of the given Units lost max: 1750R 250B

Hey, this is my setup for Witch Of The Swamp if you don't want to lose any M and in 90 % of all cases also any S.

[terghi]

If you don't like losing them expensive troops on witch of swamp you can run with the SidV troop list then the Aghiuta setup on battle 9 then cancel for before going for camp 10 for 4321xp. You'll lose the R and the 12M but not the 75 or 100 Cav.

I am doing adventures for rewards, not for xp. If I want rewards, I have to finish adventures.

My run of Island of pirates


Max losses 648 R but you have to be really unlucky to get that result, i got 547R lost.
Something funny about last battle, my soldier was chuck norris:



And the loot (and a sweet one too):

This is great. Has anyone put up a Pirates guide using Crossbows?

I now have a battle configuration, that reduces drastically the amount of Settlers used in Outlaws Adventure.... see this

Sorry, that one won't work...
If there are no dogs or wolves defending, you should aim at having (at least) 25% more cavalry than defending ranged units to take them all out in the first round (not always possible, but always worth checking if it works).
I would recommend either of these two (max losses in the first case is only a rough estimate):

95R 75C 30LB (90R)

49M 1S 75C 75LB (49M)

15 - 1 One-Eyed Bert 180 Thug - 50R 150B + 90R 110LB (132R 150B)

Don't use bowmen against the thugs in the first wave... very few (if any) of them would survive the first round of battle and get to the second round.
Recruits are a lot better in this case (killing at least 25 thugs more in the first wave than 50R+150B):

1: 200R 2: 70R 130LB (270R)

And always check the combat simulator before sending the second wave!

Fantastic, + decreased further losses ..... Thank you! =D
