Wilderness/Research

This page is for game research on Wilderness. Players can add their troop setups here if they believe other players can benefit from using the same setup. Please keep attack scenarios low and be practical. Simple and obvious is best.

Alternative Scenarios

You can add alternative scenarios to this table. Fill in as much detail as possible. Scenarios should:

• be significantly different from those already listed in the Wilderness page or already below
  Examples: one-wave cresting; significantly less losses; significantly cheaper troop combinations.
• be useful for game research (indicate this in the table comments and/or below the table)
  Example: Scenarios with and without guardian bonuses to prove that guardian bonuses (do/do not) affect troop loss. (Below table: Comparing scenarios I and II shows that guardian bonuses to life ...)

Tips for those unfamiliar with source mode editing

Visual mode:

• You can just right-click the table to add a new row.
• In narrow columns, typing space at the end of words might not have any effect. Instead type all of your content without spaces first, then go back and add them in.
• Do not press enter, type <br /> or just use space or a semi-colon and let someone else edit the formatting.
  e.g. "Troop HP: 8%<br />Attack: 16%" gives the example shown under "Guardian Bonus" in the table below.

Source mode:

• Source mode is not that difficult and might actually be easier/clearer and less problematic (for this large table).
• You can learn how to edit a table in source mode by visiting the MediaWiki help page for tables as well as the Meta-Wiki help page.
• Type <br /> to enter a new line / line break instead of pressing enter.

Scenarios from before 2013

The following scenarios were taken from an old version of the Wilderness page, of which the last contribution was on August 9, 2012. Minor formatting and clean-up has been done, but the content remains unchanged and unverified. Make of it what you will. xD

Alternatives with Losses
The table below shows options for when circumstances are less than perfect and the player considers some losses as acceptable. Not recommended for sustainable crest hunting.

• add these to wiki, im not good at source coding. 50k scouts can take only 60 scout losses lvl 4 guardian and lvl 9 healing potions. also, 1000 scouts can have a loss of 125 scouts same losses. very good for quick take for a lvl 1 plain for a far away city
• >Level 10: (I'm not getting the coding either) 25362 pike,11161 swords,29308archer 13981 HC, 9188 bals,1000 catapults. Loss 37 HC. Note level 11 fletching,level 11 rally point and level 9 Ore Guardian.

Two other pages researching Wilderness attacks are listed below. The content in them has not been updated recently, and thus they have been archived. It may still be useful to refer to the old scenarios listed though, and some conclusions drawn are still valid.
