Heroic Little Tailor

Working through this one this week. Made up the first sector block. I tried to use 152S 48C instead of 137E 30C -- it's enough but not recommended as it is really, really, really tight.

Second sector, I like using the longbows. You can kill with 1: 174B 2: 129R 1E 111K -- but it takes 10s longer and makes it tight.

With a Major, w1: 88R 55LB w2: 110R 11S 149K is the fast-kill using a BHG for a w1 rather than a Vet.

On the 3rd sector, I was planning to kill the camp with 1: 250R 2: 155R 1E 94K. But I went to simulate the 43 Bear 80 Wolf and found a 180s block.
Turns out that it's a 117s march with 40s kill, so the half-block works. You have 23 sec between launching G1 and V1.

I couldn't get 59 Bear 80 Wolf to block for 180s (although 4S 115E 81C does it 99.77%), so I tuned the first wave to kill minimum 42 bears.

W1: 214R or W1: 145R 55B or W1: 183R 17LB

Then the G1 (180 second) Block:
58 Bear 80 Wolf: 110E 90C
57 Bear 80 Wolf: 107E 93C
56 Bear 80 Wolf: 103E 97C
55 Bear 80 Wolf: 100E 100C
54 Bear 80 Wolf: 96E 104C
53 Bear 80 Wolf: 92E 108C

This one is open for your own revisions ... if you have more risk tolerance, you can lighten up the 1st wave. If you have a ton of generals, you can also aim lower and use 1B hits to kill 1 bear each until you get to 58.

G2: 1R (sent to leader and intercepted)
G3: 152E 48K
V1: 250R
V2: 22B 227A 1K

The V2 garrison position is typically unavailable -- you have to position on the well, then move away, then take that position.

I emptied the bag of tricks on this one -- 1R a half-block into position so you can unlock a triple:

Options for 50s kill (listed in order according to barracks time) *USE ONLY FAST GENERALS*:

w1: 199B w2: 161B w3: 126B 12LB 111A 1K
w1: 56C 194B w2: 126B 9LB 114A 1K
w1: 199B w2: 141B w3: 55B 85LB 109A 1K
w1: 142B 108LB w2: 55B 85LB 109A 1K

* BE CAREFUL WITH A 3-WAVE TO AVOID QUEUE-JUMPING -- WHEN W3 ATTACKS BEFORE W2, IT NEVER GOES WELL *

Troops based on C3 remaining for 100 second G3 Block:

5 Boar 140 Wolf Packleader: 189E 11LB
4 Boar 140 Wolf Packleader: 193E 7LB
3 Boar 140 Wolf Packleader: 195E 5LB
2 Boar 140 Wolf Packleader: 200E
1 Boar 140 Wolf Packleader: 200S
140 Wolf Packleader: 200S
135-139 Wolf Packleader: 190S 10C
130-134 Wolf Packleader: 177S 23C

If anybody finds a 100s block further up the list (6 or more Boars), please let me know.

You get 20 seconds between G1 and F1 -- so it's not as tight as usual fairy-tale block. There's elite options if you want to squeeze another 20 seconds from G1 -- but remember that one of the boars is dead on General A's 1R.

1R on last castle -- all 3 gens sent to the castle (block intercepted).

With the price of bows skyrocketing, I removed all bows except where required for blocking (bows needed for speed of kill).

3.5 barracks hours more -- but requiring significantly fewer bows. 201B 185LB instead of 1647B 50LB.

All of the blocks worked perfectly, tho the G3 to C3 was pretty tight. It was a couple bars down before the leader started counting down.

Very nice work.
Thanks much
