[ootter]

I LOST A TOTAL OF 820 Recruits and 8 Militia

I will keep you posted. and will be updating this until I destroy every leader camp or my time runs out. but it will be here in full be back after my troops get done being built.

plan of attack... I am going to go counter clockwise from the landing zone... I am going to aim for the bandit leader camps and skip many regular camps. Since they have no bearing on xp just like when you are first clearing the island.

I will be embarking on the journey with 260 recruits 40 militia and 100 horses for the time being... I will be using the cavalry when there is nothing with first strike in the mix in order to cut down on some recruit losses. if you do this I advise you either follow this guide to the T or you pay attention and make sure to not make the deadly mistake of facing them vr. other first strikers.

after I land. my first camp will be to me direct left.

(first camp)
camp of 70 nomads...
100 cavalry killed 28 nomads.
100 recruits cleaned up the nomads.

nomads killed 15 recruits.

(camp 2)
next camp is 40 lance riders and 40 nomad...
attacked with 160 recruits and 40 militia*note*(militia is just a body to do damage... no need for the extra damage at this point)

leaving me with 127 recruits and 40 militia after combat resolved.

(camp 3)
is the south camp that has 40 nomads and 40 composite bowmen...

13 recruits lost there lives for this attack... let us mourn them...

60 Nomads 40 Lance Riders and 60 composite bowmen.

This is a terrible guide. I would not follow this guide at all. There are many camps that can be skipped.

Take a look at the date on this it was the best information he had at the time I guess.

[lowprofile]

Where is your guide? Look at that date of the post...Wow! Some people really are lame.

[RonEmpire]

Look at the date? You guys are the ones to be talking?? I did look at the date.

The date of the post in this case does not forgive the guide being terrible. It's dated "9-27-11"

Compared to this guide: http://forum.castleempireonline.com/...laxy-Horseback

Dated "9-01-11" which is WAY WAY before the date of this guide on this thread. So my evaluation on this guide being terrible compared to ANOTHER one that is DATED BEFORE it still stands. So PLEASE before you say. "look at the date". You should look at the date yourself. LOL.

The date of the guide for 9-1 is actally way better than this one. And its much older.

[RonEmpire]

Take a look at the date on this it was the best information he had at the time I guess.

NO its not the best information he had at the time. There was another guide that was older than his by almost a month. 4 weeks earlier. He had plenty of information to go on.

And this thread was dead and buried - why revive it?
