The reason for guide on this achievment
Is quite simple – it takes 4 or 5 tries for me to finish this one so I decided to share my way of doing it.
Basics
There is only one thing that must be clarified: this guide IS NOT for new players!
You must know about farms, farmers, forest free wall spots, knights, etc in order to follow this guide.
Your main goal on every day – hire as much people as possible.
As the world is generated every time you start a new game – don’t hesitate to do scouting – you can be lucky to find something like this near the castle:
or double statues, double portals, etc. It’s better to start new game to get lucky locations 😉
Day 1
Build a camp, hire 2 peasants, hire 1 archer. Go through the right side untill you meet the first portal (on my opinion, there is always more peasants’ camps on the right side) and hire all peasants you can (usually about 4-5). Go back now and take money from the archer, invest all money in bows.
Tip: if you found a chest during the scouting, you can go further and hire more peasants. When hiring is done, throw one coin to make your peasants safe during their way to the camp through the first night. Monster will grab it and turn back to the portal.
Day 2
Create 1 hammer, hire 2 peasants and help your archers to hunt deers. Wait the archers are back at night and take their money. Fill the bow rack with bows.
Day 3
Start building the walls at the next to the castle’s walls spots (look the same – tower and wall placeholders toogether). Create 1 hammer. When hiring now, dont go far away – your peasants must be at home until the night begins!
Day 4
Create 1 hammer. Your goal now is to locate the farm spot. If you are lucky – start to build farm as fast as possible, otherwise chop trees but beware of loosing workers!
Day 5
Goals of the day are:
- Create 1 hammer
- Chop to the farm (if it is far from castle)
- Build the farm and the wall
- Upgrade outter walls
- Upgrade the castle
For now you have 4 workes (I will explain, why exactly 4, later). Also, you must have ALL tool racks free by the end of this day.
Day 6
Lvl-up castle (to the state that allows to hire farmers) and start to hire them. You need to hire 6 farmers, it means that you have to spend 30 coins. You will also need 9 extra coins if your farm is far away. Try to start your way to free forest spots that are before the portal:
Also hire some more workers.
Days 7 – 15
Try to build the spot in the forest on both sides before the portals if possible. You have to settle free spots in the forest in the way that makes your territory includes 2-3 farms and peasants’ camps. Your actions: start from the one side of your kingdom and move to another, hiring everyone you can. Upgrade the castle and create catapults, each catapult needs 2 workers (2 catapults = 4 workers) and it fix them near the outter wall (they will repair the wall at the morning). Upgrade all of your farms. Hire some more workers and build walls on every spot in your Kingdom. At the day 15 you must have 2 knights on both sides of your kingdom.
Days 16 – 25
On the day 16 charge the archer’s statue and start crusade to the 1st portal. Continue fortification. Beware of horde after portal’s closing!
On the day 17 start crusade to the 2nd portal (on the same side).
On the day 18 build teleport on destroyed portals (optional).
On the day 19 destroy 3rd portal.
On the days 22 – 24 destroy the last portal.
Defeat the final wave.
