It will have it's uses here and there. Consider the buff to give Defender units splash dmg...that's pretty much just a buff since most every Ali's and beyond enemies have splash dmg to begin with.Quote:
With the Weather Control Station coming to the game, is there any reason to try to get it? It seems like it hurts the player more than it helps.
I am super intrigued by this.. even if there may be few applications.. The possibilities keep exploding :o
But until Evil churns out new guides.. who knows? :D
Have sims already been updated to make use of them?
DSOSim has been updated.
https://en.tsomaps.com/adv-calc/ supports weather station and mcc (de-)buffs. I just wish I could link to a sim of a fight there, otherwise I like it.
Evil_J, will you be making guides for the MCC ventures (or any other adventures) with the Weather Control Station? I'm still not sure what I think about it.
Heavy Fog, which gives Flanking to everybody, looks to be beneficial in People of the Mountain, provided sac gens have 3 books in Unstoppable Charge. Having knights that attack weakest (Flanking) and have splash dmg from unstoppable charge gets rid of frost eagles and foxes upfront, and then you can cleanup with a Major and all mounted marks with 0 losses, saving a lot of troops. Only scratching the surface here, haven't done the whole map yet, but it looks really promising. May have benefit in other MCC's as well. Any problems with bosses having Flanking can probably be handled well with Ballistas and/or Assassins.
Evil_J's gonna be busy!!
Nevermind.
i simmed People with Heavy Frost... what we may gain on some camps we lose on others. Tho, it depends of what are you using... for me is not efficient.Quote:

Not sure why we're getting such different results. I'm talking about Heavy Fog, which gives everyone Flanking. On every camp except one, losses either go down or else they stay the same because flanking gives no advantage on that particular camp. On the camp that went up, the difference was 8 to 10 Mounted Swordsmen.Quote:

In addition I'm no longer losing hundreds of cav and only 200 bows instead of 403.
Hard Frost gives everyone Splash Damage, which might be what you're referring to as Heavy Frost? So far I haven't seen it do much, so your response would be most likely accurate if that's what I was talking about.
Heavy Fog, sorry. Flanking buff.
This is the guide i use for People of the Mountain: https://i.imgur.com/RBYF3AB.jpg
I'll not sim it again, too lazy for that. No Swordsmen at all here...
As i remember L3 needs another troops setup and i am saving some MS on C3... And the rest of the camps needs adjustments because on all attacks i would lose a few MM or B.
i wasnt even going to buy this thing but decided to, just to sit there hoping someday there will be good use for it
a buff that doesnt really change much, requires a new guide, can only be used every couple days, nah
I haven't tried any real battles with it, but my gut feeling is, the WS should already be useful for certain adventures.. (and not just by tiny amount, but notable amount)
Yes, its requires new guides.. and as for use in couple of days, wondering if one could buy a second from shop soon after the event finishes.
Yes, we'll be able to buy a second from shop after the event:Quote:

On the CoA version of Ali Baba and the Treasure of Knowledge C16 seems to have an impossible packout - 71MS + 86K + 117B = 274 units on a Major. Substituted the packout from the original Major map: 73MS + 67K + 130B.
Evil_J uses skilled generals, his skill sets are also posted at the top of the OP. His majors hold 285 units.Quote:

I take about 12 extra MS loss from the BHS due to having less first strike troops, but I get that back and more by being able to take out the Captain before he gets to strike. This saves me 32MS. The extra power from those AM also cuts 1 round from the steersman for another 2 MS savings. So net savings of about 22MS.
Sure, but it's not listed as CoA Skills: http://i.imgur.com/84OXafW.jpgQuote:

UPDATE
- added boris to skills 2.0
- added fast skilled mma guides for horseback, bastille island and tropical sun
- added a new tok guide, changed for speed, it can be run in around 80mins, no boris yet though
- added a new guide for oil lamp with boris and also tuned for speed
YWC skilled guide, last leader attack Sv 265MM can be replaced with Boris 190MM
What are the plans for 3rd Major? Same upgrades as first 2 or something different?
i did a bit different, but wasnt really usefulQuote:

I just made a star coin major and sub him in where I feel appropriate.
Camp 33 on the newest ToK map has M instead of MM - since you bring only 6 M most people should catch it (I hope).
Good catch - I had not even noticed and read the intended MM (Referenced map: Skills 2.0). Now though, I use Boris with 195MM for added XP.Quote:

C15 on Hansel and Gretel can be taken with 195 MS Boris instead of blocked for extra XP.
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:
