Update that may be of interest to those playing along - Anselm's best bonus is his 0% accuracy (usually important against first strike without flanking, otherwise you'd use Vargus) - but Boris reduces those same units (swift) by 50% - which is better, and he can carry more troops.
So in most one-round fights that use Anselm, you can sub in Boris, and get that 50% XP bonus. So far works great on WC and 3rd.
Thanks for the tip. Hadn't bothered to sim Boris yet except as a sac general, but yeah, that works just fine to replace Anselm attacks on Wood Cutter. I had to make some slight tweaks to troop numbers, but basically performs the same.
your comment is the bad joke hereQuote:

that attack in oil lamp is just 4 camps in 1 go with boris, loses some MM, but actually is faster in barracks than the older way, but my priority now is to make advs as simple as possivle, hence why i avoid doing mma sacs, you can do them to save some troops, but i wont, means more generals to send to the adv :)Quote:

UPDATE
- added a bunch of guides with boris, basically the guides with the latest available things...so its all MCC ventures, wc, wisdom, knowledge, snake, oil lamp and princess
I just logged in again to say thank you EvilJ, I like Boris guides, even with losses of AM, MM, B I don't mind those losses as I do mind about how fast and easy can do, what awesome about your guides is that you do really make them as any pro player want, including me.
Just 2 notes:
1. The oil lamp missing C and D setup (I used them from old guides), and for E, I tried 1MS attack and was OK, but using horseshoe for sure.
2. I do really want to see full version of oil lamp, I did the Boris guide and went back to older version to continue the rest and saved my VA using the older setup. not big deal, but I think it is maybe worth the full version :P but sure make it least priority for now.
Thanks.
For anyone playing at home, the C11 block on Red Riding Hood has to be adjusted; you cannot place your gens as far forward as X11 anymore. Just move the attackers back a notch or delay sending.
You can bypass C11. Send your attack to C10 followed by your attacks on L5, just be sure to have them lined up properly and get intercepted by C10. Once C10 is gone, they will move on to L5, waving at C11.Quote:
