Traitors XP Shortcut

[EpsilonSilver]

CAn you do a walkthrough for Pirates using crossbows?

***Edited for further tuning***
In the interest of fine tuning I adjusted the numbers further here and this is what I came up with.

Camp 4 (BANDIT LEADER)
BANDITS:60 Deserter longbowmen and 40 Deserter soldiers
Attacking with 161 Cavalry, 27 Recruits, 1 soldier, 11 Crossbowmen
Lose 26 Recruits

Camp 5
60 Deserter longbowmen and 60 Deserter soldiers
Attacking with 100 Cavalry, 40 Recruits, 5 Militia, 5 Soldiers, 50 Crossbowmen
Lose 40 Recruits and 3 Militia

Cancel adventure.

No Rewards

XP: 2620

Total Troop Losses = 69 which works out to 37.97 XP per unit.

Not a huge difference, but every little bit helps in my mind.

[Jett]

Sure I can do that.. as soon as I have my 200 Xbowmen.

[Jram]

I thought that if you cancelled a adventure you wouldn't get you experience points?

[Hobknocker]

Happily, you're incorrect.

[Toughguylol]

If you have the vet general, you can cut further down on total losses. I played around and came up with:

Camp 4: 22r 1s 227C (Lose 14-22r)

Camp 5: 49r 50s 151C (Lose 49r MAX)

Total Losses--------71 Recruits
Total XP Gain-----------2.6k

There might be better alternatives with the 250-troop general. I use these troops because they were the only ones i could use at this time.

Do people still use this?

Do people still use this?

It's still the most barracks-efficient way to gain XP. You can actually run this over and over while still building up troops. It takes time to march there and back, and if you just take out the leader, it's only an average of 18R with Vet (20R 1S 1E 228C or 20R 2S 228C) / 24R with a 200-gen (27R 1S 157C 15A or 28R 2S 150C 20LB) -- so in the travel time, you can make more troops than you lose.

It's still a really good way to get up to about lv36-40 ... after that, there's better methods. But with the cost of the adventure -- it does end up getting expensive.

How do you just "walk through zone 1" without being intercepted?

[Wimpy]

As long as you are transfering you can move thru any area. I always make sure my general has no troops assigned when moving just in case.
