Garrison Position G1:


Camp 1: 30 Recruit Deserters, 40 Bowman Deserters
1S 199C (0)

Trap T1: 40 Wolves
1R 39S (1R)
40E (0 - 0 - 1E)
NOTE: The 40E method has about a 1 in 7500 chance of losing an Elite Soldier. It depends on whether you like losing 7500R or 1E really. I'd go for the 40E if you have that many Elites.

Camp 2: 20 Elite Soldier Deserters, 20 Crossbowman Deserters, 20 Cannoneer Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
98R 102S (46R - 87R - 98R)

Garrison Position G2:


Trap T2: 200 Wolves
13R 187S (13R)

Tower W1: 15 Longbowman Deserters (Fortified watchtower)
100C (0)
NOTE: On these towers, attack the leftmost and rightmost towers and the other ones will intercept with no losses. Also, you can bring one each of Recruit, Bowman, Militia, Longbowman, and Soldier, as well as more advanced troops if you have them, to cut down the destruction time. (For convenience only)

Camp 3a: 50 Soldier Deserters, 50 Cavalry Deserters, 50 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Big Bertha
178R (176R)
Camp 3b: 1 Big Bertha
17R 183S (6R - 15R - 17R)

Garrison Position G3:


Camp 4: 60 Militia Deserters, 20 Longbowman Deserters
37R 1S 162C (21R - 29R - 37R)

Camp 5: 40 Militia Deserters, 40 Longbowman Deserters

Garrison Position G4:


Tower W1: 30 Longbowman Deserters (Watchtower)
100C (0)
NOTE: For the first two, attack individually. For the second two, attack Camp 8, get intercepted by both towers, then retreat. Also, you can bring one each of Recruit, Bowman, Militia, Longbowman, and Soldier, as well as more advanced troops if you have them, to cut down the destruction time. (For convenience only)

Camp 7a: 50 Soldier Deserters, 50 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
176R (176R)
Camp 7b: 1 Sir Robin
28R 172S (10R - 25R - 28R)

Camp 8: 30 Soldier Deserters, 30 Cavalry Deserters, 40 Longbowman Deserters, 1 Sir Robin
154R 46S (70R - 121R - 154R)

You may kill Camp 13 now, but it's good to leave that so your lootspotter can hit it with 1R.

Garrison Position G5:


Camp 9: 20 Militia Deserters, 60 Longbowman Deserters
3R 1S 196C (0 - 2R - 3R)

Camp 10: 40 Militia Deserters, 40 Longbowman Deserters

Camp 12: 85 Recruit Deserters, 65 Bowman Deserters
40R 1S 128C 31LB (28R - 35R - 40R)

Now go back to G4 and kill Camp 13, after your lootspotter makes a kill.

Camp 13: 64 Recruit Deserters, 85 Bowman Deserters

...Traitors was TOO MUCH WORK.

On the bright side, the BBs gave away Gems. So I now have Battle Hardened Generals!

BHGs operate differently from Normal generals in that they fight twice as fast, so they can be used in blocking attacks in which a Normal general cannot be used, due to how long the block lasts. Many blocks are still tight, and unlike 1R blocks, if you fail you are losing a lot more than 1R. Still, BHGs cut down losses a lot in some adventures.

Currently I am working on guides for BHGs. Expect guides such as VTV, SFTR, and Traitors coming for a Battle Hardened General. See for yourself how powerful the BHG is, for just 1250 gems!

So much for normal generals --- once you give somebody a better tool, they no longer become interested.

I'm still going to include Normal general setups in there.

I don't think anyone really uses Normal generals anymore though, after this free Gem giveaway...

In fact, the BHG only offers big benefits in later adventures. In earlier adventures, their benefits are a few blocks saving about 30 or so Recruits on average for each one.

Thus, I will not be updating any of these guides for BHGs, but new ones may have BHG setups.

Instead, I will list the new blocks BHGs can do:

Bounty Hunter:
New blocks: lol
Benefits: 0

Horseback:
New blocks: Camps 1 and B2 can be round-blocked while a BHG attacks Camp 2. ONLY FOR CANNONEERS. Also, Camp B6 can be round blocked, saving the loss of 1R.
Benefits: 1R without Cannoneers, ~70R 10B with Cannoneers

The Dark Priests:
New blocks: Camp 2 can be blocked while Camp 3 is killed. This block is available with normal generals, but with about 5 seconds of spare time, so I did not include it in the guide.
Benefits: 16R

Witch of the Swamp:
New blocks: Camp 5 can be blocked, but the block is rather tight.
Benefits: 52R

The Island of the Pirates
New blocks: Camp 4 can be blocked, and Camp 8 can be blocked if you have two BHGs.
Benefits: 100R

Traitors:
New blocks: Camp 4 can be blocked.
Benefits: 214R

Stealing From the Rich:
New blocks: Camps 4 and 5, Camp 10 can be round blocked.
Benefits: 77R

The Lost Skull:
New blocks: None, but if you have enough BHGs to have 9 generals in total, Camp 3 can be skipped
Benefits: 0

Tropical Sun:
New blocks: None
Benefits: 0

For these new blocks, I will challenge the reader to find the positions themselves.

However, some advanced adventures have huge differences when using a BHG over a normal general (losses are max losses):

Outlaws:
Without BHG: 1943R 35S
With BHG: 725R 97S

Bandit Nest:
Without BHG: 1070R 210S 274C
With BHG: 464R 184S 274C

The Nords:
Without BHG: 200R 396M
With BHG: 200R 243M

Victor the Vicious:
Without BHG: ~2500-3000R 85M 115B 257C 87S
With BHG: 1995R 207M 115B 108S 257C

... or after Easter ... or after Halloween

The fast generals are always REALLY hard to get in the events. Recall that the Veteran was 1350 eggs. The event quests gave you 750. The other 600 you had to trade for or find with your explorers. If you had 3 Explorers doing Long treasure searches, you averaged about 3 a day.

In Halloween, I think the Grim Reaper is similarly hard to get, but I don't know because I wasn't here at Halloween.
