Are any of the leader camps in the same sector?

Looks like garrisons G2, G3 and G4 are placed within small areas that are friendly territory from the start?

L3, L4 & L5 are all in the same sector (that's what I remember and what can see on the picture )
And yeah, there are some friendly territories from the start. Thanks to them and the aggro zones on the leader camps we can skip some nasty camps

Is hasmir's nords guide broken? I get intercepted on the first attack?

It might be broken. I recommend you this one:

I've done it dozen of times, works like charm.

I finally figured out why my block on sector 2 in the End of the World has failed so many time for me...

After conquering sector 5 and placing garrisons C, D and E within that sector for the block above,
I realised that the border poles of sector 5 were still RED...
In other words, sector 5 was still considered enemy territory (despite my three garrisons in there).

Because of this general D becomes intercepted by camp 23, while still marching in friendly territory, before general C hits that camp.

To fix this, make sure you do return to your home island before starting the block.
Coming back to the adventure island all border poles of sector 5 will be BLUE and recognised as your territory.

I have lost over 200 elite soldiers before finally realising why... please don't do the same mistake!!!



I now suspect this might also be the reason for Driller7's general being intercepted in Secluded Experiments...

Polymer your block C55 is 100% fail the way the adv is now... From what i see in your picture they must have changed the agro range.

The veteran gets intercepted by the blocking camp as soon as he leaves his position. The agro rage seems to be extended from your map.

This guide includes one (optional) block of method 1.




Game flow, garrison settings and losses (minimum - average - maximum):




Camps 1-7 (THE EASY ONES)

No garrison placements are presented here.
Move your generals forward whenever possible for shorter attack routes.

Camp 1) 40 Cultists
ANY general: [1R 196C (-)]
ANY general: [1S 194C (-)]


If you do have a veteran general, attack camp 3 directly, and let him be intercepted by camp 2:

Camp 3) 50 Cultists (Camp 2) and 40 Cultists, 40 Fanatics (Camp 3)
VETERAN general: [5R 1S 244C (2R - 4R - 5R)]

Otherwise, attack them one at a time:

Camp 2) 50 Cultists
ANY general: [6R 194C (2R - 4R - 6R)]
ANY general: [5R 1S 194C (2R - 4R - 5R)]
VETERAN general: [1S 244C (-)]

Camp 3) 40 Cultists, 40 Fanatics
ANY general: [12R 188C (8R - 10R - 12R)]
ANY general: [11R 1S 188C (8R - 10R - 11R)]
VETERAN general: [5R 1S 244C (2R - 4R - 5R)]


Camp 4) 60 Cultists
ANY general: [12R 188C (7R - 10R - 11R)]
ANY general: [11R 1S 188C (7R - 10R - 11R)]
VETERAN general: [5R 1S 244C (2R - 4R - 5R)]


Camps 5 and 6 can be attacked at the same time. Send the 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)]

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)]


Camp 7) 120 Cultists
ANY general: [59R 69C 72LB (48R - 52R - 58R)]
ANY general: [56R 2S 70C 72LB (48R - 52R - 56R)]
ANY general: [53R 1S 93C 53XB (46R - 49R - 52R)]
VETERAN general: [45R 1S 184C 20LB (36R - 40R - 45R)]
VETERAN general: [42R 1S 189C 18XB (35R - 39R - 42R)]




Camp 8 (CAN BE BLOCKED) and Camp 9

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)]
ANY general: [56R 1S 143C (45R - 49R - 56R)]
VETERAN general: [35R 1S 214C (28R - 32R - 35R)]

Camp 9) 40 Cultists, 120 Shadowsneakers, 1 Dark High Priest
ANY general: [155R 45M (107R - 147R - 155R 18M)]
ANY general: [120R 80S (107R - 120R 2S - 120R 16S)]
ANY general: [118R 6S 76E (107R - 118R 2S - 118R 6S)]
VETERAN general: [105R 145S (66R - 96R - 105R)]
VETERAN general: [78R 102S 70E (66R - 76R - 78R 1S)]

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)]

If you wish to use the block, move two generals to garrison position G1:

• Position A: NORMAL general
• Position B: ANY general (your best general)

Send the generals right after each other:

From A to Camp 8) 80 Cultists, 60 Dark Priests
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)]

From B to Camp 9) 40 Cultists, 120 Shadowsneakers, 1 Dark High Priest
ANY general: [155R 45M (107R - 147R - 155R 18M)]
ANY general: [120R 80S (107R - 120R 2S - 120R 16S)]
ANY general: [118R 6S 76E (107R - 118R 2S - 118R 6S)]
VETERAN general: [105R 145S (66R - 96R - 105R)]
VETERAN general: [78R 102S 70E (66R - 76R - 78R 1S)]

Camp 10 (WITCH TOWER)

If you do not own a veteran general, and prefer losing militia over cavalry, choose the first alternative.

Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 99 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [112R 88C (112R 88C)]

Camp 10b) 47-55 Cultists, 23-39 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [82M 10S 35C 73LB (45M - 65M - 82M 9S)]
ANY general: [55M 5S 87C 53XB (34M - 47M - 55M 4S)]


If you do own a veteran general, this is probably the cheapest setup (thanks Mangalyurek):

Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 99 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [15R 132B (15R 132B)]

Camp 10b) 99 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
VETERAN general: [76R 19M 10S 127C 18LB (76R 4M - 76R 19M 4S - 76R 19M 10S)]
VETERAN general: [65R 5M 10S 1E 128C 41XB (65R 3M - 65R 5M 6S - 65R 5M 10S)]


The solutions below are all based on losing only cavalry and recruits:

Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 99 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [75R 125C (75R 125C)]
Camp 10b) 65-72 Cultists, 0-17 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [99R 41C 60LB (59R - 87R - 98R)]
ANY general: [80R 13S 19C 88LB (59R - 75R - 80R 12S)]

Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 99 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [115R 85C (115R 85C)]
Camp 10b) 46-53 Cultists, 23-40 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [95R 2S 47C 56XB (53R - 78R - 95R 1S)]

Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 99 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [153R 47C (153R 47C)]
Camp 10b) 23-35 Cultists, 55-64 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
VETERAN general: [94R 2S 81C 73LB (59R - 82R - 94R 1S)]

Camp 10a) 100 Cultists, 99 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
ANY general: [180R 20C (180R 20C)]
Camp 10b) 3-16 Cultists, 79-86 Dark Priests, 1 Witch of the Swamp
VETERAN general: [100R 2S 105C 43XB (62R - 84R - 100R 1S)]






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...

Is this 1R block really works here?
My general was intercepted and I lost 80 soldiers.

[laaxaalaa]

When I send X to 9, A to 11: immediately after the y to 9, B to 11 or should I wait?

[laaxaalaa]

When do i send
From X Camp 9) 150 Soldier Deserters, 50 Cavalry Deserters
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)]
From A Camp 11) 8-27 Soldier Deserters, 60 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin, 1 Big Bertha
VETERAN general: [150R 100S (82R - 129R - 150R 16S)]

Is this 1R block really works here?
My general was intercepted and I lost 80 soldiers.

If the generals are sent right after each other, then it will work, yes.
But 1R blocks are always critical with the timing.

The 1R block itself only fights for 20 seconds,
and it takes about 13-14 seconds for the main general to walk through the red incfluence area of camp 8.

If sent right after each other, there should roughly be about 3 seconds spare time before and after.
The 3 seconds before is needed in case the two generals would march out at the same time (can happen due to lag).
The 3 seconds after is what spare time you have to send out the generals after each other.

Normally, you should be able to send the second general at the very moment when the military tattoo (music) stops playing for the first general.
The 3 seconds spare time means that you must send your main general within a maximum of 3 seconds after the music stopped.
Otherwise, there is a risk that he will be intercepted.

Always when doing blocks, and especially when doing 1R blocks, do watch your main general closely.
If he does get intercepted by the camp you've blocked, retreat him immediately.
In that case you would only lose the single recruit, and four hours of waiting time while he recovers.

[Tage]

When I send X to 9, A to 11: immediately after the y to 9, B to 11 or should I wait?

All those garrison positions in Traitors work pairwise, and you can use them in any order but always pairwise.
You should send only one pair at a time, then see what remains in camp 11 before sending the next pair.
Each pair consists of one block (going to camp 9) and one attack (going to camp 11).

When do i send
From X Camp 9) 150 Soldier Deserters, 50 Cavalry Deserters
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [1R (1R)]
From A Camp 11) 8-27 Soldier Deserters, 60 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin, 1 Big Bertha
VETERAN general: [150R 100S (82R - 129R - 150R 16S)]

The block and attack are always meant to be sent right after each other:

• Block from X, attack from A (sent within 5 seconds after X)
• Block from Y, attack from B (sent within 5 seconds after Y)
• Block from Z, attack from C (sent within 5 seconds after Z)
