Description

Rather low XP is off putting (and you seem to get a lot of these from basic Adventure searches) but the high resources gained for an early adventure with average losses makes its good staple map when no others are available. This adventure map is the most ideal adventure to get exotic wood and granite, with a chance of getting Motherly Love, an adventure that also gives high amount of exotic wood and granite as rewards.

Less Than 500 Recruit Losses Quest
If you are going for this Quest the simple solution is to replace the first round attack of 118 Recruits in the final battle with 77 Recruits and 34 Militia.
Thousands of Them Achievement
An additional 100 recruits would allow faster completion by using two generals at once.

Guide

Refer to the Combat page for more information. Generally, the lowest quantity/cost troop combination is listed but higher cost/value troops can be substituted to boost the odds toward losing 1-2 less troops. So use of elite soldiers, longbowman and crossbowman is at your discretion but most likely will not change the outcome very much depending for any particular battle. Likewise, more troops than listed can be sent if capacity of the general permits but in most cases will not affect the outcome.
