Overall its well compiled and put together guide. One thing I found.

-You dont have enuf troops listed for units needed. You listed 87XB instead of 100.
"Maximum Troops Required - 457R + 100M + 67S + 15E + 305C + 87XB"
"LEADER CAMP 4 - Wave 1 - 50C Wave 2 - 100M + 50S + 100XB vs 1 Metal Tooth + 50 Guard Dog + 60 Roughneck + 80 Ranger - Losses = 100M + 50C + 45S"

Other than that, it went well. Thanks!!

"1.) Your use of BHG vs Regular Gens is backwards. I always sac regular gens so my BHG can travel faster to the next adventure and also if a block fails youll have a BHG to go get the extra units needed."

i dont understand this? u sacc a bhg- finish end adv- it still takes him 15mins to get home... how does saccing a BHG instead of reg gen effect travel time to next adv?

[GiltyPlezure]

You cant add units to a recovering gen to get them home. Either theyre going to be walking or riding with a slow gen both resulting in longer travel times to get to the next adventure.

I see what youre saying tho that a BHG TT is 15 minutes no matter what. This is true but if you need the units you have with you at one adventure to travel with you to the next, sacing your BHG will result in at least 15 more minutes between advents.

[Snacknado]

ahh i see what your saying- if you are low on bhgs or vets or dont have a qm and or low on troops it will save you time, make sense. im glad i dont have to deal with those problems, ty for the explanation

[GiltyPlezure]

Ok so I was just informed that BHG actually fight battles faster than the tavern gens and makes for a quicker block resulting in a failed block if swapped in this situation. I didnt know that the BGH was faster than a reg gen other than travel between zones. Ive edited my op to reflect the only thing I found wrong with the guide

"1.) Your use of BHG vs Regular Gens is backwards. I always sac regular gens so my BHG can travel faster to the next adventure and also if a block fails youll have a BHG to go get the extra units needed."

The reason why "I" personally use BHG for wave 1 attacks in conjunction with a "block", is because they battle 2x faster than a slow general, resulting in a faster wave 1 "loss", i.e. When the leader camp falls, the slow general "block" will still have 2-3 rounds left (i've never had a failed block using the method provided above).

You cant add units to a recovering gen to get them home. Either theyre going to be walking or riding with a slow gen both resulting in longer travel times to get to the next adventure.

I see what youre saying tho that a BHG TT is 15 minutes no matter what. This is true but if you need the units you have with you at one adventure to travel with you to the next, sacing your BHG will result in at least 15 more minutes between advents.

To answer the second question, It does not effect my travel time at all. The remaining troops after completion, fit on the (3) Vet. generals i send (approx. 488 troops of out the 750 "fast travel" space). Since i'm only using (1) slow general for all of the blocks, i have (4) more on home island ready to be sent sent upon completion. If i start new adventure as soon as i complete, i can send (1) slow to new, wait 15min for vets and bhg to return from previous, send vets and bhg to new, both the slow and fast generals arrive within 1-2mins of each other.

Now granted, this method works for 1 player adventures, if you're having a friend start a 2 or 3 player adventure and you want to send your "Fast" generals from your completed adventure to new adventure directly (not returning home), then yes, using bhg's in wave 1 sac would not be recommended.

I hope that clears everything up! Any other comments or suggestions to this guide, pleased feel free to comment below!

I have a limit of 200 troops in my garrison...how do you get more troops than that?

Add population. Build troop in your barracks.
