The Shaman - Completed

Here is my list of units used and losses. Hope this helps and im sure someone will figure out blocks and better setups soon. Im only level 44, so no cannons. Also an idea of a better setup on the final boss.

This is with a Vet general.

Sector 1
Camp 1) 100 Scavenger/50 Rangers - 38R/212C (34R loss)
Camp 2) 80 Scavenger - 17R/233C (14R loss)
Camp 3) Leader - 50 Scavenger/50 Dogs/80 Stone Throwers - 100R/150ES (86R loss)
134R Loss on Sector 1

Sector 2
Camp 4) 80 Scavenger/100 Thugs - 137R/113XB (124R loss)
Camp 5) 90 Scavenger/80 Rangers - 37R/213C (31R loss)
Camp 6) 80 Scavenger/80 Stone Throwers - 29R/221C (26R loss)
Camp 7) Leader - 100 Scavenger/80 Dogs/1 Skunk - 68R/182ES (64 loss)
245R Loss on Sector 2

Sector 3
Camp 8) 100 Scavenger/80 Dogs - 66R/184ES (60R loss)
Camp 9) 100 Dogs/80 Rangers - 85R/1S/164ES (78R loss)
Camp 10) 100 Scavengers/40 Dogs/50 Stone Throwers - 90R/4S/156ES (90R loss)
Camp 11) 160 Thugs - 130R/120XB (118R loss)
Camp 12) Leader - 80 Scavenger/100 Rangers/1 One-Eyed Bert - 50R/20ES/140C/40XB (43R loss)
389R Loss on Sector 3

Sector 4
Camp 13) 60 Cultists/80 Shadowsneaker/60 Dark Priest - 85R/10S/155ES (85R/4S loss)
Camp 14) 80 Cultists/80 Fanatics --- Camp Can be Skipped --- (Simmed - 50R/200C)
Camp 15) 40 Shadowsneakers/80 Fire Dancers/80 Dancing Dervish - 105R/18B/127XB (80R/11B loss)
Camp 16) 80 Cultists/60 Shadowsneakers/50 Fire Dancers - 110R/140ES (101R loss)
Camp 17) Leader - 100 Cultists/1 Witch of the Swamp/1 Mystical Shaman - 40R/60M/150S (40R/60M/12S loss)
I would probably use 50R/70M/130S for this, or 40R/70M/130S for less S loss...
306R/11B/60M/16S loss for Sector 4

Total Losses:
1074R/11B/60M/16S

Rewards:
14960 Exp

Thanks and Good Luck!

After clearing sector 1, move your generals near the 3 residence and the tavern area of the center of the map and then you just need to wipe out camp 6 and camp 7 in sector 2.

Altho alot of people have been saying this and that they can move to the Witch Tower, i was not able to do so. Plus there are alot of side quests to do this and that, in the end its not too bad of an Adventure.

I was able to that, but then I stuck. Cant attack the leader and cant transfer teh general. I started to hit the last sector. Seems buggy.

Anyone having guide to this Adventure with Normal General and without ES and Cannoneer (for those who are less than or at Level 40)??

Hello, Anyone having guide to this Adventure with Normal General and without ES and Cannoneer (for those who are less than or at Level 40)??

Usually there should not be a loss of anything than R and M and B there are sometimes VERY little chances to loose a solider or 2.
All attacks were simulated (except camp 17) at least 50k times using this combat simulator but please check your self before attacking. Attacks using ES can usually be done with regular soldiers with very little modifications.

Soldiers are usually used to protect Cav, XB and ES. Do not replace the smaller amounts of S like 1-5 with ES otherwise you might loose some ES.

There is also a blocking guide on cempire.org now, which uses cannons on 2 camps.

You can clear the 2 rock slides before attacking any enemy camps and then set-up your general in the tavern area.

Here's hoping that someone can come up with a Guide that doesn't require 250 Gens, or ES and Cannons.

Here are some attacks for non VET and no XB, but the pathing might not be the best one:
http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/t...l=1#post227904

If you clear sector 2 first, you can then clear sector 1 using a block on camp 2. Just position your camps in a similar distance that the camp and leader are from wach other and lower your CAV number to go 2 rounds. I used the numbers given and they just barely beat the leader first so cutting CAV count should extend time. Only did it once. (Used two VETS)

The real question is what do you get at the end of each of the event chains. after you beat each of the sub quests what do you get?

These event quests is not really worth the reward. the amount of balloons you could be donating from weapons is a lot higher than the troop loss count.

What are the rewards for each of the sub quest?

Balloons and experience only.

I mean after completing the entire chain. "A little Concern".

I'm deciding if this event is worth send my troops out for.

Sector 4
see above

NO! There are two camps blocking the path to the witch tower, one of them being the boss at the far end right (camp 12). In other words, you cannot move to the witch tower after clearing camp 8.

You cannot attack the 3rd leader from next to the witch tower

What you can do: Transfer quickly by first transferring next to the witch tower and then to where you wanna go. Because it's blocked it only takes building up and breaking down time, no walking is needed.

I'm not sure what you mean nudle

Edited my pathings, while it seem to work getting to the village, but not to the witchtower

I got a block on the 1st camp that saves the twenty-some recruits there.

http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/56/dn95.png

Use 35E, 60C block (slow gen) from X1 to C6
Use 66R, 1M, 1S, 182E from X2 to L7

Launch attacks in quick succession.

Maybe more to come.

I made a cannon guide up for 250 gen, non blocking with only R losses, here is the link
forum.thesettlersonline.net/threads/18271-Adventure-Guides-by-Arcain/page2

Another Block, this time against C11, saving many R and M.

http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4584/t6xf.png

Use 116E block (slow gen) from X3 to C11
Use 62R, 3S, 20ES, 125C, 40XB from X4 to L12

Launch attacks in quick succession.

To transfer to another spot you can go next to witch tower, although you cant do anything there, and then transfer to another place. Because the general cant walk past the camp it will teleport

lol took me long enough

Once you take down the rocks, transfer to the village, block and kill a leader, transfer to the left side of that sector you just took, and kill the first leader, with a block.

You don't need anything like what ZBest has.

Ok, I've got a double block against the last leader. I'm fairly confident in it, but I don't have the troops yet to test it out.

If anyone's adventurous enough to want to try it out for me and (hopefully) save about 200r, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise I'll edit this post (or remove it) when I've tested it out.

1st, 18r sacrifice on C15. Don't forget to do this first. Then,
Use 200E block (slow gen) from X5 to C15
Use 180R block (slow gen) from X6 to C16
Use 40R, 70M, 140S from X7 to L17

Launch attacks in quick succession.

As I said, I'm fairly sure it will all work, but I thought I'd better add the disclaimer that haven't tried it and I can't even sim the last guy, so no guarantees.

You can sim the last guy...but Asipak's sim is down 90% of the time.

The last guy is taken down by 81R 119S (fairly sure, might not be optimal). If you are using a Veteran, you will lose less R. Just think about it: The Witch does 600 to you every round, the Shaman does 500 (in worst case), so you can get a good setup like that.

Also, thanks for the block diagrams. I'll try the positions when I put them into my own guide. And I don't think blocking C15 is really worth it, since the block is going to be tight (you have 120 seconds minimum on the block).

Just got to Asipak's sim -- 104R 1E 145K on final boss (average 97R) -- 2 rounds

Without Cannons -- 160R 90S will kill with average 144R loss -- in 3 rounds

Asipak's sim has the final boss incorrect. He says the Shaman has 900 HP, when it actually has 9000.

That's great, the new adventure wasn't there when I tried earlier.

I'll look at the timing when I do it and report on how close it was.

Asking around in help, it looks like the HP is displaying wrong in the sim but it's calculating correctly. People say they've done that combo and it's worked.

The timing from X6 and X7 to Camp 16 and Leader 17 works. I went the safe route and took out the C15. Didn't want to risk losing 200 elites.

I used 160R and 90S setup and loss all 160R exactly on the final boss.

I took out C15 with 105R, 18B, 127X setup. that worked. loss only 80R and 12B.

Thanks Ron. I'll try it with the C15 block and the different final attack combo tonight.

I didn't notice that, but you are right -- However, the enemy only kills the 104R through the 2 rounds -- and the 145K is mostly overkill anyways.

I used it and it worked (moved Updownquark's first block position back 2 squares).

I tried this but with ZBest's position change for X5. It was tight (all camps were in countdown), but it worked. Thanks!

I did the block without checking the forum first to find the updated position. Otherwise I would have taken ZBest's advice on that position change. As it was, that camp was at 20% from destruction when the leader died, so all's well, but it was dang tight.

Thanks for testing stuff out guys, and thanks for the great edit, ZBest.

You can clear the rocks from sector 1/2. (That's the blocked entrance). Move your general to sector 3 and attack the leader in sector 2. Attack sector 2-camp 6 first if you must. It's a good guide.

I did the block with ZBest's config. It worked perfectly. Keep making guides :)

So, basically what this thread is saying is if you don't have veteran generals, Elite Soldiers, or Cannons it is a waste of my time. Thanks for the heads up before i put forth a massive effort to do this adventure.

for a vet and 3 normal gens W/LB use 775 R, 338 C, 78 B, 186 LB, 200 S along with the guide you will be able to complete the adventure.
