-BlackNoir

Lance riders are first strike, attack weakest
That's a very important detail when deciding which troops to use

WARNING: This is all done with a ghetto spreadsheet using given probabilities, this has not been tested
Camp 1
80 recruits to take out first camp and lose 32, doesn't seem too bad. *updated, noticed a typo!*
Camp 2
45 Cavs, 60 longbowmen - no losses. Id prob send recruits too cause it makes me nervous not to
Camp 3
If nomads are normal attack, 190 cavs should work
Camp 4
123 Recruits
Camp 5
157 Cavs, 43 Recruits losses 14 recruits

LadyTerra, I thought I had 'Attack Weakest' but I missed it on the first camp, added now.

Peter, nice, I was going to load up with 100R and try it just to be safe.

LadyTerra I just have to say I love your avatar dear.

Once I fix the min/max functions on my spreadsheet I'll post more conjecture :)

To let anyone who hasn't done this adventure know, you only have to battle 3 camps. One at the landing zone, one past the path in the snow, and the boss

Actually, it's not more XP. Defeating the leader of each zone gives full XP for that zone, even if they are the only ones you defeat.

Here's the rewards:

Dark Cult Camp (easy) 40 recruit deserter 40 shadowsneaker-- 195c 4s. Lost 28c, 2s (This was a goof on my part. Meant to send 163s, 7m, 30r with a projected loss of 19-23r)

LOOT: 10 presents, 3610xp!!

in some earlier adventures you can skip camps, can you skip camps on this one? or will they get intercepted

"he says that he wanted to destroy Christmas because he does not like joy...."

I'm Not trolling or anything but, i'm quiet sure it's 'says' not 'sais'

I completely missed the Leader in Sector 1, the Dark Cult Leader and another camp in Sector 2. Its hard to see them in all that snow.

Added them to the first entry.

Noir, can you fix the first sector first camp number?

Thanks for taking the time BlackNoir

PeterPiper, like that?

This adventure is now up at CastleEmpireSim.com if you have any problems, email me and let me know.

Thanks,
-Draxxon

you put paid in his plans...I love engrish.

Looks like you missed a leader camp for max xp. It's possible to skip a leader camp and take down croaker. You'll lose over 1k xp though.

yeah, I was in a hurry since I was also programming the simulator and made a mistake.

This is the L36-50 Version of the Save the Christmas Feast Adventure. I did this adventure prior to the Sim being available and it can be completed with less troop loss than I had if you run the sim.

The armies you will encounter if you follow the camps I did, are as follows:

Katrena, i think yours might be the Level 37 to Level 50 version? Mine is the Level 26 to Level 36 version. There's also a Level 18 to Level 25 version.

I think that changed, BlackNoir. I seem to remember that being said at first but now it reads: "There will be two new Christmas adventures, one for Levels 26 - 35, and one for the Levels 36 - 50."

In the end If I hadn't made 1 mistake I believe I would have needed 312R, 100C and 70M to complete this Adventure and would have walked away with 79R, 100C and 70M for a loss of 233R. I have 2 generals so that means 2 trips to the island unfortunately.

Mine was the L36-50 Version. I should have posted that. Will add that note to my post above as well.

How do you get this adventure? Is the only way to get lucky with your explorer?

it was my daily quest yesterday. Didn't get it today.

but, to get the full exp, you have to kill all the leaders, not just the 3 in the way of the boss. by not finishing off those leaders, you lose the exp of the camps you didn't kill. so, if you want full exp, you have to hit 6-7 camps, I can't remember.
