I LOST A TOTAL OF 820 Recruits and 8 Militia

I will keep you posted. and will be updating this until I destroy every leader camp or my time runs out. but it will be here in full be back after my troops get done being built.

plan of attack... I am going to go counter clockwise from the landing zone... I am going to aim for the bandit leader camps and skip many regular camps. Since they have no bearing on xp just like when you are first clearing the island.

I will be embarking on the journey with 260 recruits 40 militia and 100 horses for the time being... I will be using the cavalry when there is nothing with first strike in the mix in order to cut down on some recruit losses. if you do this I advise you either follow this guide to the T or you pay attention and make sure to not make the deadly mistake of facing them vr. other first strikers.

after I land. my first camp will be to me direct left.

(first camp)
camp of 70 nomads...
100 cavalry killed 28 nomads.
100 recruits cleaned up the nomads.

nomads killed 15 recruits.

(camp 2)
next camp is 40 lance riders and 40 nomad...
attacked with 160 recruits and 40 militia*note*(militia is just a body to do damage... no need for the extra damage at this point)
I lost 33 recruits leaving me with
leaving me with 127 recruits and 40 militia after combat resolved.

(camp 3)
is the south camp that has 40 nomads and 40 composite bowmen...
attacked with 100 recruits and 100 cavalry
100 calv. they killed 40 composite bowmen and 2 nomads.
recruits cleaned them up.
13 recruits lost there lives for this attack... let us mourn them...

(camp 4 BANDIT LEADER)
60 Nomads 40 Lance Riders and 60 composite bowmen.
attacked with 130 recruits and 70 militia.

I lost 39 recruits.

(camp 5)
60 lance riders... or else they intercept the next bandit leader.
attacked with 75 recruits and 40 militia.*note*(militia is just a body to do damage... no need for the extra damage at this point)
I lost 25 recruits.

(camp 6 BANDIT LEADER)
90 nomads and 90 composite bowmen
attacked with 60 recruits, 40 militia and 100 cavalry
I lost 60 recruits and 8 militia

80 lance riders 120 composite bowmen
attacking with 148 recruits and 52 militia*note*(militia is just a body to do damage... no need for the extra damage at this point)

This is a terrible guide. I would not follow this guide at all. There are many camps that can be skipped.

Take a look at the date on this it was the best information he had at the time I guess.

Where is your guide? Look at that date of the post...Wow! Some people really are lame.

Look at the date? You guys are the ones to be talking?? I did look at the date.

The date of the post in this case does not forgive the guide being terrible. It's dated "9-27-11"

Compared to this guide: http://forum.castleempireonline.com/...laxy-Horseback

Dated "9-01-11" which is WAY WAY before the date of this guide on this thread. So my evaluation on this guide being terrible compared to ANOTHER one that is DATED BEFORE it still stands. So PLEASE before you say. "look at the date". You should look at the date yourself. LOL.

The date of the guide for 9-1 is actally way better than this one. And its much older.

NO its not the best information he had at the time. There was another guide that was older than his by almost a month. 4 weeks earlier. He had plenty of information to go on.

And this thread was dead and buried - why revive it?

It was listed in the "Adventures guide" thread compiled by another player. I'm commenting on it so that people don't use it.

See below.
http://forum.castleempireonline.com/...venture-Guides

basically, I am telling people to not use this guide and use the other one that is listed instead.

The person who made a list of guides included 3 links for horseback riding. And I'm evaluating them all and letting people know which one they should follow to save them the most troops. I'm trying to be helpful here.

Well if you are evaluating Guides maybe something like "I would advise not using this Guide, there are more current ones available that you will lose less troops on on." Your first post sounded more like an attack than an evaluation.
