On TOK guide, you can use Boris to attack C9+L3 with 85MS+110MM
C and D are not block setups, just where to send attacks fromQuote:

i could, but wouldve me wait for boris to kill L1 and move there, this is a 80min run, losses or xp arent the highest priority, instead running speed isQuote:

I see Boris is taking L4, so that might slow down the run a bit.
UPDATE
- added guides with boris for 1st, 2nd and 3rd thiefs
Unknown Regions Skilled Run v2 (Boris) https://i.imgur.com/wMViLug.png has Vargus for the first attack - but 195 troops. I assume that's boris? No, Boris blows out - looks like 17MS, 40AM, 138MM works, though on Vargus.
Ignore this - snow confused me and made me think Anselm was Vargus.
Doubly ignore this, I completely misidentified the starting area (!!)
After C15 attack send Boris to X20Quote:

On first thief :
On L1 : Boris + 20MS 175K (looses : 19MS + 3K)
On second thief :
On L3 : Boris + 26MS 159K 10B (looses : 25MS + 3K)
I'm sure I'm missing something because somehow L9 failed for me twice. The boss units survive killing everyone on Mary (w3)... any thoughts?
Your BHG needs to be skilled - if he is not, throw more B or use a skilled MMA.
What's the point if you can kill it with Merry?Quote:

L15 attack is incorrect. You probably meant Boris, not Sv as in the guide.Quote:

You are the gift that keeps on giving!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the older guide revamps.
Looks like there's a typo around the link to WotS.
So.....new general. Everybody skilling him like a Major? Something different?
I skilled mine like a Major after reading the German thread. Haven't actually simmed much, but I figure he's at least as effective as one. I'd make a farmer if I had more than 1.Quote:

To be fair, that's because that's the way EJ's skilling him.
How do you know that's how EJ is skilling him?Quote:

Absolutely. EJ has that in the Skills 2.0 version of the guide. Not sure why the Boris version dropped it -- perhaps for speed/ease of setup?Quote:

At 75 XP only matters in how many star coins you get heh.
ill trade the extra star coins for a faster run.
skilled gemini exactly like boris, ill post the updated pic soon
The SettlersOnlineWiki has skilling for generals that are slightly different from Evil_J.
For example, Major General on SettlersOnlineWiki has Juggernaut and Unstoppable Charge, and Evil_J does not have those skills.
My question is: if I skill my generals per Evil_J, can I still use the guides with skills on SettlersOnlineWiki?
In other words, Is the skilling from Evil_J at least as, or more effective, than the skilling on SettlersOnlineWiki?
Thanks for your help.
I use Evil_J's guides without following his skills, although for the most part it's not particularly relevant what differences there are. I consider it more as a solid baseline that I can pick apart and add my own twists. I do, however, sim each camp to make sure there are not any issues.
If you skill EJs you can't use the wiki SKILLED GUIDES without resims, and vice versa.
HOWEVER - it might be possible to make a hybrid genera - l that dropped EJ's NON-Combat skills, (jog, nav, etc) and replaced them with the wiki combat skills.
Often it's not a big difference ( a few MS added, etc ) - but sometimes it's huge - resim to be safe.
You can ALWAYS use the unskilled guides with skilled gens of any type, of course.
I've used Evil J's Giant Battle to the T. I had 1 dynamite from POM in my star no problems, used it to clear dynamite #1 after killing L3.
Used the shard I got from L4 to make next dynamite to clear #2. Used shard I got from L7 to clear #3 but no other shards dropped for me.
Was I supposed to get 1 shard from L9 or L3? Because if I was, they never showed up for me to pick up and now I can't clear #4. No other Castles are visible. How do I continue to clear that top bolder to get the fog to lift so I can attack L10?
What am I missing?
All his attacks and troop counts were right and worked fine for me. I just seem to have missed a shard drop as I was only able to make 2.
you have to kill L8 to see L9 and you get a shrad from the stronghold (L9)
UPDATE
- added a quick easy guide for artic explosion, so everyone can farm these easily during event :D
On the new Arctic Explosion guide, you can kill camp C4 with the Older Gemini general with 78r and 217xb. So that will save a little more militia.
I probably wouldn't have looked at Arctic Explosion otherwise. Finally a use for that.
What are the thoughts on the new general? He's 10 times stronger than a MMA. He has flanking and splash damage, but he doesn't have first strike. Are people getting him? Are you going to use him? Or will he become another Mad Scientist?
Anyone who hits that hard cannot be as useless as a Mad Scientist. I suspect he will become quite the useful sac - especially on maps that aren't heavy on first strike (or where they do small enough damage to be absorbed by a load of R or something).
So it would be a good idea to get both of them?
