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...

Incorrect.

Still playing with 3 normal gens. Was saving gems to get a BHG. Then after free gem giveaway, decided to get a vet gen. Just 500 gems short.

Troop totals:

One normal general, with Soldiers, no blocks:
Max troops needed: 1503R 136B 178C 171LB 127S
Max troops lost: 1503R 136B

One normal general, with Crossbowmen, no blocks:
Max troops needed: 1485R 136B 178C 127S 113XB
Max troops lost: 1485R 136B

One normal general, with Cannoneers, no blocks:
Max troops needed: 1479R 1M 178C 127S 113XB 124K
Max troops lost: 1479R

NOTE: If you have Cannoneers, simulate for yourself. I did not do Cannoneer versions for a lot of camps in which they would have been very helpful. The actual losses when using Cannoneers are definitely lower than 1479R.

Two normal generals, with Soldiers, using one 1R block and one round block:
Max troops needed: 1445R 136B 139C 171LB 127S
Max troops lost: 1445R 136B

Two normal generals, with Crossbowmen, using one 1R block and one round block:
Max troops needed: 1429R 136B 139C 127S 113XB
Max troops lost: 1429R 136B

Two normal generals, with Cannoneers, using three round blocks:
Max troops needed: 1275R 1M 139C 127S 113XB 124K
Max troops lost: 1275R

NOTE: If you have Cannoneers, simulate for yourself. I did not do Cannoneer versions for a lot of camps in which they would have been very helpful, and I left out a block on Camp 11 for normal generals and Cannoneers. The actual losses when using Cannoneers are definitely lower than 1275R.

One Battle Hardened generals, one any general, and one normal general, with Soldiers, using four round blocks:
Max troops needed: 1038R 136B 173C 171LB 131S
Max troops lost: 1094R 136B

One Battle Hardened generals, one any general, and one normal general, with Crossbowmen, using four round blocks:
Max troops needed: 1022R 136B 173C 131S 119XB
Max troops lost: 1078R 136B

One Battle Hardened general and one normal general, with Cannoneers, using four round blocks:
Max troops needed: 1072R 173C 131S 124K
Max troops lost: 1072R

NOTE: If you have Cannoneers, simulate for yourself. I did not do Cannoneer versions for a lot of camps in which they would have been very helpful, and I left out a block on Camp 17 that can only be done with a Battle Hardened General and Cannoneers. The actual losses when using Cannoneers are definitely lower than 1072R.

When you get into the adventure, you will find two "rocks" in the position of A and B in the diagram above. Click on them. This is a quest in the adventure. Also, Camp 13 has no troops and is part of the quest: click on it to make it disappear.

Garrison Position G1 (BLOCK)
Position A: NORMAL General
Position B: ANY General

For the block, send A and B right after each other.

Camp 6: 80 Scavengers, 80 Stone Throwers
BLOCKING NORMAL General A: 1S 173C (120-220 seconds)
BLOCKING NORMAL General A: 1R (20 seconds)

Camp 7: 100 Scavengers, 80 Guard Dogs, 1 Skunk
General B: 77R 123S (62R - 71R - 77R) (50 or 100 seconds)
General B: 75R 1S 124K (60R - 68R - 75R) (40 or 80 seconds)

NOTE: The block with normal generals and no Cannoneers will be VERY tight. Thus, I recommend the 1R block if you only have normal generals.

If you do not want to use the block:
Camp 6: 80 Scavengers, 80 Stone Throwers
38R 1S 124C 37LB (30R - 34R - 38R)
36R 1S 140C 23XB (28R - 33R - 36R)

BLOCKING NORMAL General A: 1R (20 seconds)

Camp 3: 50 Scavengers, 50 Guard Dogs, 80 Stone Throwers
General B: 133R 67S (105R - 118R - 133R) (40 or 80 seconds)

I would recommend the round block for all players, but the 1R block is there if you want.

If you still don't want to block:

Camp 2: 80 Scavengers
21R 1S 178C (16R - 19R - 21R)

When you begin, click the "dead tree"s to begin the adventure.

Garrison Position G1 (BLOCK):

First, kill Camp 1:

Camp 1: 60 Scavengers, 60 Stone Throwers
19R 1S 180C (13R - 17R - 19R)

If you do not want to block, kill all remaining bandit camps:

Camp 2: 60 Scavengers, 70 Guard Dogs
44R 156S (36R - 41R - 44R)

Camp 3: 60 Scavengers, 50 Rangers
18R 1S 181C (12R - 16R - 18R)

Camp 4: 60 Rangers, 1 One-Eyed Bert
11R 1S 87C 101LB (0 - 2R - 11R)
87C 83XB (0)

Position A: NORMAL General
Position B: ANY General

For the block, send Generals A and B right after each other.

Camp 2: 60 Scavengers, 70 Guard Dogs
BLOCKING NORMAL General A: 1R (1R) (20 seconds)

Camp 3: 60 Scavengers, 50 Rangers
ANY General B: 18R 1S 181C (12R - 16R - 18R)

Position A: NORMAL General
Position B: ANY General

For the block, send Generals A and B right after each other.

Camp 2: 60 Scavengers, 70 Guard Dogs
BLOCKING NORMAL General A: 1R (1R) (20 seconds)

Camp 4: 60 Rangers, 1 One-Eyed Bert
ANY General B: 11R 1S 87C 101LB (0 - 2R - 11R)
ANY General B: 87C 83XB (0)

Garrison Position G2:

Kill any and all walls blocking your general from the Mine (with any troops), and then kill the Mine (Camp 5). The rest of the walls will disappear when Croaker dies.

Camp 5: 100 Wolves, 1 Croaker
5R 1S 1B 193LB/XB (5R 1B)

Garrison Position G3 (BLOCK):

You will need to place your generals as in the diagram above, so as to avoid being intercepted by Camp 6.

If you have a Battle Hardened General with Cannoneers, look below for a two-way block:
Position A: NORMAL General
Position B: NORMAL General
Position C: BATTLE HARDENED General with Cannoneers

For the block, send A and B right after each other. Then, wait until B reaches the circled area in the diagram, and send General C.

Camp 8: 1 Witch of the Swamp, 80 Firedancers
BLOCKING NORMAL General A: 102E 98C (100-200 seconds)

Camp 7: 80 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp
BLOCKING NORMAL General B: 93S (200-300 seconds)

Camp 9: 1 Spawn of Hell
BATTLE HARDENED General C: 39R 161K (35R - 38R - 39R) (30 seconds)

This block will be very risky. The marching time of General C through the red zone of Camp 8 is about 44 seconds. Thus, the timing is quite critical on this block. Note, however, that the block on Camp 8 has a very low chance of lasting only 100 seconds, so I would consider this block somewhat safe. However, even if you have a Battle Hardened General with Cannoneers, I would consider the one-way block below as an alternative.

For a less risky one-way block, kill Camp 8 first:

Camp 8a: 1 Witch of the Swamp, 80 Firedancers
150R 50C (150R 50C)
Camp 8b: 1 Witch of the Swamp, 28-43 Firedancers
95R 1S 65C 39LB (38R - 76R - 95R)
63R 1S 92C 44XB (30R - 53R - 63R)
47R 1S 97C 55K (20R - 38R - 47R)

Now, do the following block:
Position A: NORMAL General
Position B: BATTLE HARDENED General, or ANY General with Cannoneers

For the block, send A and B right after each other.

Camp 7: 80 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp
BLOCKING NORMAL General A: 93S (200-300 seconds)

Camp 9: 1 Spawn of Hell
BATTLE HARDENED General B: 200S (46S - 51S - 53S) (80 seconds)
BATTLE HARDENED General B: 40M 160S (40M 20S - 40M 24S - 40M 26S) (80 seconds)
BATTLE HARDENED General B: 60M 13S 127E (60M 7S - 60M 11S - 60M 13S) (80 seconds)
ANY General B: 39R 161K (35R - 38R - 39R) (30 or 60 seconds)

If the situation is laggy, you can use the spot behind General B for General B. There is no rush, as the block has at least 90 seconds of spare time.

If you are brave, you may even try this block with a normal general in Position B. Walking through the red zone of Camp 7 takes about 30 seconds, and the battle lasts 160 seconds. However, it will be VERY tight!

And if you still do not want to block:

Camp 7: 80 Cultists, 1 Witch of the Swamp
82R 1S 20C 97LB (62R - 78R - 82R)
67R 1S 24C 108XB (53R - 64R - 67R)
63R 1E 56C 80K (51R - 61R - 63R)

Camp 9: 1 Spawn of Hell
200S (46S - 51S - 53S)
40M 160S (40M 20S - 40M 24S - 40M 26S)
60M 13S 127E (60M 7S - 60M 11S - 60M 13S)
39R 161K (35R - 38R - 39R)
