I think the single guy can walk over a bridge to south west. There is a vilage and some more.

If i can reach there safely

u/moonwalk_mW 1d ago

You don't need to reach there. You research roads/bridges and just build a bridge

Yeah its a tricky one. would love any tips. Interesting to start with all the Tier 1 tech.

Against alot of soldiers that are ready to attack and more of them in every turn 😭😭

Archers helped somewhere mid game. Should have gotten them earlier.

Can't relate, the challenge is a doddle this week 🤣 There's only one opponent, so they can't gang up on you; it's really easy to steamroller them! It's really more of a case of optimising your turns, market placement etc to see how high a score you can get 😃

overwhelming numbers of troops around the city to even think right 😭

u/TaintFraidOfNoGhost 1d ago

steamroller how exactly?

u/Z1L0G 1d ago

Your 3 swords can attack & capture the nearby enemy city immediately. Get Archery ASAP (this also gives your swords a defence bonus in forests so use that!) and you should be able to mop up the enemy troops with no trouble - they are very predictable!

Position your shields to defend your capital - the dumb bots will kill themselves unsuccessfully trying to capture it.

Ive just focused on super early giants to steamroll no archers, no.3 diamond Dogy Head

wow, great score, I'm going to try that today!

u/Z1L0G 19h ago

didn't quite get to your score but managed to break 30k with this strategy. lots still to optimise though!

I moved two shields to block the bridge and their swordsmen spent the entire game roaming their 2x2 island never attacking haha

u/Z1L0G 1d ago

lol, great idea. The bots are very dumb 🤣

u/moonwalk_mW 1d ago

It caused an issue for me late in the game though trying to get the lighthouse. I expected the bot to suicide on my shields but they didn't, so I had to sacrifice a scout boat to get back there

u/Z1L0G 19h ago

lol. of course, if you capture all their cities, then the trapped Swords will just disappear!

This is a really fun challenge. I love the new scenario based ones instead of always starting out in 1 city with no tech and 1 unit
