I just tried it, it works very well. Very good tip SirRoy.
I guess I should invest in some Traitors, I'm guessing their market value is going to go up when this gets out lol.

it is just the first leader camp with 35 recs and 165 cav dont bother with second camp, only do first you average somewhere around 60 xp per recruit lost cant remember exact number

Thanks, it's been known for ages.
I think its mostly useful for the run to level 32 and the 10 licenses that brings.
Also good when you just need a few more XP to level.

Ahh, so the first with 165 cav and 35 recruits and the second with 100 cav, 40 recruits and 60 militia?

correct once again, but like stated, the 35 recruit 165 cav will bring fewer losses on the first camp

In the interest of fine tuning I adjusted the numbers further here and this is what I came up with.

Camp 4 (BANDIT LEADER)
BANDITS:60 Deserter longbowmen and 40 Deserter soldiers
Attacking with 165 Cavalry, 35 Recruits
Lose 27 Recruits

Camp 5
60 Deserter longbowmen and 60 Deserter soldiers
Attacking with 100 Cavalry, 40 Recruits, 10 Militia, 40 LongBowMen, 10 Crossbowmen
Lose 40 Recruits and 6 Militia

Cancel adventure.

No Rewards

XP: 2620

Total Troop Losses = 73 which works out to 35.89 XP per unit.

Not a huge difference, but every little bit helps in my mind.

27r, 11 xbows, 161 cav, 1 elite soldier = 21-27r losses..

What will you do once you've chased your tail all the way to level 50 in such a rush?

Enjoy the journey, nothing's waiting at the end.

Most people only use this to get to 32 and those 10 licenses.

Yeah, I can't imagine doing this for exp to get to 50 lol. 2620 exp hardly touches a level when you're that high.
The only reason I can see doing this at level 32+ is if you've got one sitting around and you'd rather get a little bit of exp than sell it for 50 coins.

Good info though! Thanks!

Sure I can do that.. as soon as I have my 200 Xbowmen.

I thought that if you cancelled a adventure you wouldn't get you experience points?

Happily, you're incorrect. :)

If you have the vet general, you can cut further down on total losses. I played around and came up with:

Camp 4: 22r 1s 227C (Lose 14-22r)

Camp 5: 49r 50s 151C (Lose 49r MAX)

Total Losses--------71 Recruits
Total XP Gain-----------2.6k

There might be better alternatives with the 250-troop general. I use these troops because they were the only ones i could use at this time.

It's still the most barracks-efficient way to gain XP. You can actually run this over and over while still building up troops. It takes time to march there and back, and if you just take out the leader, it's only an average of 18R with Vet (20R 1S 1E 228C or 20R 2S 228C) / 24R with a 200-gen (27R 1S 157C 15A or 28R 2S 150C 20LB) -- so in the travel time, you can make more troops than you lose.

It's still a really good way to get up to about lv36-40 ... after that, there's better methods. But with the cost of the adventure -- it does end up getting expensive.

How do you just "walk through zone 1" without being intercepted?

As long as you are transfering you can move thru any area. I always make sure my general has no troops assigned when moving just in case.
