Should sent 1R from x7 on Snow White COA guide?
There are positions x7 and x8 for block, but only one wave on C5.
indeed its a 2 wave block, typo fixedQuote:

- added seasnake guide with coa, 8h and 1 small cat saved, ofcourse can still nuke C27 and save almost 9h of racks time...also down to 5 mma sacs, have 2 nusala sacs but shouldnt make us wait much
I run lots of knowledge ( yes i know everyone hates that adv) been waiting for you to do that one figures you do it last :) i use your guides all the time thanks for your hard work
lol i dont know when it will be done, oil lamp, princess, besieged and knowledge left to do, all are troop eaters, im not in rush :)
great work evilj I love your guides but struggle with some of your blocks
in TOW for final attack on L15 I used 1Nusala sac 1r and 4 mma 1r sacs cause I only have 4 mma but Nusala is better so I finished off with AN 30MS 45AM 75MM and only lost 26 MSW
Your round blocks to kill L5 & L6 I tried twice and failed so i used Cat on C9 have you an alternate block please?
cheers keep up the good work

You could use two Wino generals instead of a Wino and a BHG... this buys you an additional 10s and guarantees safe passage.Quote:

Hello EvilJ
I'm on EU servers using your guides, they are good, but i played the lost city, It seems hey are so wrong, lost many MM and AM because of these wrong builds!
For now I lost in
L5: lost 34 AM !
And L6 I lost 21 MM ! and 196MS because the block was not enough.
Also the number of garrison for X5. X6, X7 is wrong order too.
Really upset from this guide wasted time because those fails.
Snow White with CoA - 2 minor updates.
Wave 2 for L4 uses 150S with Anslem for sac wave.
150S are listed in units required.
150S are NOT listed in max units lost.
Also, the waves for L4 are noted as W1, W2, W2.
read the guide again, it was your fault, not the guide ;)Quote:

You should blame yourself for not reading his guide correctly..
You have to activate the altar and don't speed it attack each camps in order and as soon a altar is available activate it and then attack the next camp don't go attacking next camps if you haven't activated the previous altar.
Activating altar is what make it since it changes your attacking units features.. if you do not activate the altars you will get way more lose.
Follow his guide by the letter and don't forget to activate each altar as soon they are available and only after it's activated you attack the next camps.

That's the only way the troop numbers work for this guide.Quote:

Eri.. want to try 149MS,41AM for that block?Quote:

Or following, if you want higher victory percentage, just in case (Like Evil's is lower rounds, but 100% victory chance)
150MS,42AM
I run that as 140 and 60 and attack the leader with 10 generals. Never realized it was that close a block. Alice's numbers look even better, though.
I use drac with 143MS 40AM 4MM on C14, never had a problem with 3 gens on the final leader.
One more thing to be clear.. I do not know why Evil chose 160MS,40AM.. (Evil and KH keep saying it's easy to read minds :p .. May be they are Vulcans :D)Quote:

While the rounds for mine are notably higher, if you do loose the block (lets say you forgot to send the final attack), losses for my suggestion will be higher.
If you do not make such mistake, yes, the rounds on mine are surely higher... min 3-4 extra rounds, which is 60-80 seconds extra... Even more on average..
Plenty of time to correct your mistake of forgetting to send the final :D

If you are sure you won't mess your block - take your pick from some of the longest lasting blocks -

"Ali Baba and The Treasure of Knowledge" with Vargus
Hello Evil_J, thank you very much for your great work.
I'm very confused in adventure "Ali Baba and The Treasure of Knowledge" with Vargus.
From X8-X9 garrison, Vargus is intercepted by a camp just to top of X8 and defeated.
This camp with 80 Sword Clasher + 80 Horsman + 80 Desert Marksman is not present on your map.
Have I misinterpreted something?
***********************************
I respond to myself.
Camps C19, C20, C21, C22, C23, L6 and C24 must be attacked from the right entrance where was "C6".
Vargus must be on X9 only for the last attack to L7.
Has anyone done the non-COA Snow White yet? The overall map shows different positions for X2 - 4 than the zoom-in does, so I'm not sure where to start.
I ran it using the zoom-in.
That worked!
UPDATE
- fixed typos for both snow white guides
UPDATE
- added oil lamp coa guide
So the guide calls for 160MS+40AM on C14; I switched that to 140MS+60AM and that seems to work.
Evil_J, It would be awesome to get a guide for Roaring Bull. I remember a guide a long time ago that had a single long block for the last witch tower, but all I can find these days are 1R blocks for it. Tried a handful of positions, but can't seem to get it to line up properly.
Second Thief CoA map, L8 camp: FYI, I hit it with an MG w/ 82MS, 110 MM, and 78B, just like the guide. The sim shows a win every time with just MS losses. I somehow lost all 110MM as well. Freaky accident?
Update: so the replay showed a loss of all 110MM, but when the MG came home, they were all resurrected. An Easter miracle?
Did it show them "dying" with the skull that replaces the picture of the unit or just taking dmg but nothing else? If the latter, that's a display bug that happens when a stack (in this case MS) get exactly killed down to 0HP (no over/underkill), then it will visually bug to the next unit in line but not actually do anything.Quote:

I ran The Nords again and, again, X7 got intercepted by C13. Maybe I am sending them too quickly. It felt like waiting for a second would make the blocks succeed as intended.Quote:

220 Troops to send, so just a typo.
Yes, I give a slight hesitation before sending... waiting for drums to end works for me.Quote:

3rd Thief L4 - I am losing all AM and 25-30MM and zero MS - has adv changed or has this been the case always?
You should be using M not MS for Third Thief L4.
thank you made an assumption - need to read the guide more carefully
