Upper or lower left then?
Honestly, with that description and not marking it on the map, there's 4 possible places it could be!

Can't believe nobody could follow the written description. What possible other meaning could there be to "horizontally to the right, corner to corner"?

Doesn't matter, I've now cut the guide down to just this block if you want to use camp 25 as an alternative lootspot, leaving you free to do the big boss battle on yor own.

So, here is Gerontius' modified Sons of the Veldt guide, with an alternative lootspot position

Thanks for replying Polymer but the guide had in big red letters saying blocks werent working anymore but now those letters are gone so i guess its "working fine" now.

Yes, it is, since 11 days back

Tropical Sun is now fully updated.

Also the loot should now be accurate.

Ok, I'm doing Horseback for the first time, since I see alot of people using guides from this thread, I thought to myself, I wanna try it aswell, and start using thoose blocks, can aswell learn it sooner than later, I'm sure in the epic adventures is way to expensive not to.

One VETERAN general with Crossbows
Two NORMAL generals, using three round blocks
Units needed, maximum: 279R 233S 83C 90B 138XB (823 units)

The guide says it need no more than this, so that is pretty much what I did send. Then I came to first camps, setting up the generals and vet with units.
I need this:
BLOCKING NORMAL general: [50S 25B (-)] {4 - 5.6 - 11 rounds of fighting}
VETERAN general: [21R 90B 1S 138XB (20R 90B - 21R 90B - 21R 90B)] {3 rounds of fighting}
And there we got a problem, since 90B+25B>90B so I didn't bring enough. Now I have to settle with the 10 rounds block that doesn't include B.

Johan, don't worry, the other blocks, although shorter do still work fine unless the system lag is particularly bad, and in that case nothing would save you anyway.
It is a bit confusing though, if you do want to do the 1st bowman block, then the required units should be 115B or more if you also want to do a later alternative.

Just one that you'll have to learn your own preference for, if Tage wrote in every possibility, these guides would be extremely large and very confusing.
Most of us have our own favourite variants that don't quite tally with the guides.

It didn't say "horizontally to the right" when I wrote that.
Nice try, but the "last edited by ... on dd/mm/yy" is a giveaway.

Seems the penultimate block image has gone missing on PrincessAllys RB guide.

Erm. Yes it did. That wasn't changed at any time.

Good guide on SE

Three small remarks:
1. "DOUBLE VETERAN SETUP For single veteran, block C27 twice (first time with 1R only) and attack the leader camps one at a time[...]"
C27 is killed in all versions. C28 is the culprit.

2. The riskiest block is
C56: 2 bulls, 75 sabrerattler, 75 gunman (text says officers)
22R, 1E, 146C, 81K (22R) - ONE round. 3-4R more for 2 rounds less

The intercept region of C55 is so small that it can be done with 1R or the distance between B and vet can be made smaller.

3. C10: 1 crazy cook, 100 officers, 75 caltrop
2 waves: 100R and 118R, 21M, 111K;

[Polymer]

Points taken.
1. solved, thank you
2. checked and solved
Will have to check, but intercept region of C55 is actually quite large since the general travels through it to get to the leader camp. And you can`t make distance smaller if I recall, the spots where you can place generals are quite limited, can do that only by moving the black line and asking to send veteran earlier I think. I will check that soon. And with it taking only one round thanks to you life is much simpler. Used the setup, missed that looking for the less losses possible.
3. added as alternate setup


Edit:
To move veteran in another position, closer to his camp, would mean to bring him in a position where C55 will intercept (its area extends just a bit over that water, but enough it seems to intercept)

camp 15 in SOV is a pain i just kill it off with vet 59r 1s 100c 90xb (loss 43r 55c - 59r 1s 57c) this will cost ya cav but it saves time on recovery of 2 generals + it makes 3blocks not needed . lov the guide tho tx ! (sorry if this post isnt wer it should b)
