    Big Mary

    I understand nothing about the battle system, so a little advice will go a long way...

    I'm using Mary for suicides and can see no other use for her. is it worth skilling Mary? atm i have juggernaut, jog and 1st aid on her. I dont want to use higher lvl books if theres not much point. are there any other uses for her? is the amount of xp she will give just not worth worrying about?

    any thoughts?

    Great uses in Ali's, see:
    https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/...Mary-Christmas.

    I used FastL, Charge, and ofc Annex & MP. Getting 300k (w prem) on YWC now.

    Limited use in FT and small adv I'm afraid.

    Was gonna post basically what HfoC did. Basically she doesn't repalce other generals but she can be used in some places to raise the XP total you get by a lot. I lowball estimate is 15-20k extra for no additional losses on the Alibabas, way more if you accept more Msw killed. I boosted a ToK to around 900k XP witouth prem.
    Details in thread HFoC linked.

    And yes it's sooo worth skilling her up as you get more camps you can attack with no losses.

    To my mind it all depends how you intend to skill up your bhg class generals (BHG, Grim, Big Helm), like most high levels the majority of your usage of those types will be sac waves with only a few compatibly other camps where those generals get used to kill the camps. With Mary being readily identifiable in your star menu it makes sense to skill her up as the camp killer out of all the 200 troop carrying generals, leaving the others as the sac specialist's.

    As a insane test i ran BK using Mary skilled with hostile takeover, fast learner and bounty hunter. The results were 97086 XP, 338 Merc Recuits and 98 Star coins while on Prem. For the XP gained compared to say a VLT were acceptable.

    Just curious how much time it takes to complete that version of BK?

    About 2 hours, some of the pathing was very odd resulting in a couple of very weird intercepts.

    General Mary Christmas

    Just a trivial question: can general Mery Christmas be used for locks/blocks like tavern generals?

    From mechanical perspective every single general can be used for blocks, but Mary (same as every single non-tavern general) is just worse than tavern ones.
