Description

Units Required:	815R, 220B, 142S, 172XB or 1308R, 125B, 147S, 200LB
Days to complete:	2.5

The is a special adventure that is tied to the Myan 'end of the world' prohecy and pits all the Settlers gaming servers against each other. There are numerous rewards for the speed and amount of maps completed between Dec 10th and Dec 19th 2012.

I suggest you take 142 Soldiers, you only need 100, so you can attack 2 bases at once, instead of waiting on one to finish, and not waste time juggling the troops.. by this stage you should have 200 Soldiers in stock for regular adventures anyway.

Here i've added aquick reference map showing the order and general attack positions. Note that position 2 or 3 can be used in clearing sector 2; in the guide below i use 3 but the more i play it the more i prefer to clear most of section 2 from above from sector 5.

Crossbow Version

Confused?  See "What do these letters mean?"

Crossbows are a very effective weapon, and can save you a lot of troop losses.

NOTE: longbows can be used but with at least 1 more sacrificial bowman and/or recruit. If you don't have Crossbows, then you can find the corresponding troop requirements for Longbow attacks in the next section below.

Block
Sector9	To perform the block in sector 9, avoiding the 2nd camp that is covering the leader, is really simple and easier than any other block i've had to do. General A has 200R General B has 1R & 1B Position Generals as seen in the image (A goes in the most Northwesterly point of Sector 6 and B goes as close as possible West of A). Attack Camp 2 with General B and immediately set General A to attack Camp 1 leaving about 1second between selecting the target and attacking. General B's horse should have just appeared as you complete your attack commands with General A. The horses will be parallel as they reach the first bit of open ground (note the horses position in the image) together and B will dissappear inside just as A makes his final turn around the rocks before entering his camp. If you messed up you should recall General B first and then A.

Longbow Version

Replace the occurances above with these values for longbows replacing crossbows.

Enemy	Attack With
