Pro Tips - Battle Edition

[ConanSr]

My simple tip is to just have more troops then the army you are goint to fight

[rdbarnhart]

Use Cavalry against dogs and intercepting wolves. I use thirteen loade Generals; two Veteran the rest Hardened and regular General. Use Generals to move troops to the adventure. Remember Wheat produces brew which is essential to producing troops and bread which is essential to producing population of retired bandits at the provision building. Stock up brew - bread - population - arms - troops. Retired General officers Staff Member.

Use Cav to wipe out archers and opposing Cav.
Use Infantry to absorb Damage.
Use Archers as Skirmish Units to lower opposing Inf numbers.
Learn Bosses attack sequence, sometimes like Metal tooth have to use Cav to wipe out Numerous archer units Behind Boss HP absorbtion before sending in Infantry to Finish Boss.
Some Bosses Get attacked last in Sequence So can mount a varied offensive before attacking boss.
Don't know what Generals are good for?

Dont let the Dogs eat your Bowmen/Longbowmen/XBowmen

I personally would never sacrificed a cavalry unit to dogs, recruits can absorb their damage easily with very few losses, and they can then be killed, saving your more expensive cavalry for battles with low hit-point regular strike units. Each dog will typically kill 1 cavalry. My advice is to use Recruits for dogs. If you have the generals to spare send a first wave with just a few more recruits than the number of dogs. This wipes out the dogs entirely, and spares your cavalry. (Always check the battle simulator to calculate exactly how many recruits are needed to wipe out the dogs.)

My battle tip is measure the bandit camp you are going to attack before, in order to minimize the damage to your more expensive units. Always sacrifice your recruits!

Looks like everything was pretty much covered, so a quick synopsis - Know thy enemy ( Click on the enemy to see waht his units are and their stats ), use a combat simulator ( Add it to your favorites in windows, right click on it and you can select 'open in new window' and play around with it without closing your game ), Pay attention to your generals pathing and retreat if you get intercepted, overkill, overkill, overkill - DO use a cannon to kill a mosquito in this game ( If you can eliminate the enemy in one round, you take much fewer casualties ), Chuck is a front line unit. You won't hit any of his other units until he is dead, so the first wave has to be able to take him out ( Unless you do a cavalry wave first ), Buy the 250 general, he's worth it, last, but not least, have fun - always remember, this is a game.

Always count damage needed to kill oppenent trups in 1st round of combat, so you want loose more troops in secound round of combat. Always goes like this and you want loose more troops then needed.

[Mouldy]

When fighting the swamp witch, I use Calvary and Recruits until the next to last battle, I switch from recruits to Solders. Always have 150 cal and 100 R or S. This is my favorite adventure. I's quick and easy.

Always be careful where you place the garrison, Garrison placement has alot to do with where your general will go.. follow your general make sure he is going to the intended target, If not RETREAT as soon as possible, sometimes the retreat button does not work, immediately close the the garrison reopen, retreat again...Use battle Sim and guides higher level players have out there. I use StarFire and SIdV's guides, very well made and helpful, both have minimum losses. Always try to use Recruits when possible, it saves moeny when you have to replace them. Make settlers in the provision house with bread so you can replace the military you lost right away.
