Mykan's Guide - Update status and feedback

This is the feedback and update section for Mykan's Guide

Due to the fact I often edit posts already in the guide I thought it best to have a place I can inform people of updates to save them re-reading everything all of the time. It is also helpful to have a place for people to provide feedback as some have mentioned they did not wish to disrupt the guide with responses.

If you have any comments or ideas to improve the guide, sections to add and the like please let me know. Contributions are also welcome and acknowledgment will be given to those who contribute.

Current updates
Obviously with the recent 1.15 version I have been revisiting large portions of the combat section of the guide. This is changing constantly at the moment as we learn the new system.
  • Province section split by Humans and elves
  • Several graphics have been added as a quick start strategy for each race and province type

In the combat section it shows the key unit and support unit, do you use 3 or 4 key unit and send in one or two support units or does it depend on the enemy units to determine how many?
 

Mykan

It depends on the enemy composition and map terrain. I do know of people here and on beta who are doing the current tournament with 4/5 of the key unit sometimes on auto-fight with good results.

Every province seems to have 3 enemy unit types and we will have 1 unit that is specialised against 2 of those 3 which I am calling the key unit. I will try to add more to the strategy parts as I go along as that is where you have to decide which (if any) support unit(s) you use.

Updates:
  • Graphics in the combat section. The combat difficulty graphic was refreshed to help the link between tournaments and fight difficulty to be clearer. I am continuing to edit the strategies around the different units.
  • Added to the general approach to provinces and the concept of a key unit, target units, counter unit and support.
  • Major re-write of Elve section
  • Era 1 and 2 general strategy and detail strategy for elves
  • Era 1 and 2 basic strategy strategy for humans
  • Expanded mercenary camp and training ground section.
The human section still needs significant work, sorry human players. Graphics will also continue to be updated as a few provinces need some slight tweaks to units in the neutral/cautious attack section.

Added a new section for town designs by era focused on free-to-play town design. If anyone would like to help with design layouts, particularly human, please let me know. I am still determining exactly how this section of the guide will work.

Since expansions are key to the game, and all the issues risen. I would like to see this chart completed But cant myself. I play human. Thanks

Expansions
Chapter Expansions Provinces Expensions Total
Start ------- 6 ------------ 0 ---------- 0 ---------- 6
1 -----------1-2 ----------- ? ---------- ? --------- 8+?
2 ----------- 3-5 ---------- ? ---------- ? ----------11+?
3 ----------- 6-9 ---------- ? ---------- ? ----------15+?
4 ----------- 10-14 ------ 70 ---------- ? ---------20+?
5 ----------- 15-20 ---- 100 ---------- ? ---------26+?
6 ----------- 21-26 ----- 130 ---------- ? ---------32+?
7 ----------- 27-31 ----- 160 ---------- ? ---------37+?
8 ----------- 32-35 -------- ? ---------- ? ---------41+??
9 ----------- 36-38?-------- ? ---------- ? ----------6+??
Notes:
Provinces is the min Chest amount at the start of the next chapter
I can not remember or find out the number of provinces required to gain an extra expansion in each chapter.
I remember they were 6-9 and increased as you went along, so it is a ? how many additional expansions you would gain per chapter.
With this chart it would be easy to see who has bought expansions or "overextended themselves" Snickers

I can work on completing this, it will fit nicely with the new section I added. Thank you for the input and work you have done on this.

Edit: I had a table ready to go, I have now added a max province column and uploaded it. Thanks for the input

My best guess from your description is the same as Lyapo and that it is related to a wonder. If you look at the link Lyapo posted there is pictures of the backdrops related to different wonders and you should be able to identify the fortification there in relation to the wonder you built.

Updates:
  • Minor updates to quests
  • Added links to wonders section of some excellent posts by Katwijk analysing KP clubs and explaining a spreadsheet assisted option
Planned updates
  • The battle system continues to evolve requiring updates which I will work on although the updated graphics may take a little time as they are easier to update when the wiki is updated.
  • Tournament section and fellowship section will be undergoing an update when the new fellowship tournaments arrive on live servers.

Yes, the fortifications looked like the bell spire and monastery (they've disappeared, alas) but here's the thing - not only haven't I built any wonders yet, but my city is Elven. Weird, huh?

could be a display glitch, sometimes happens after visiting someone elses town with them. The picture also don't appear if graphics quality is low.

I actually find I want to do tourneys more now I have maxed boosts. It is for my non-boosted relics so I can keep fueling my MA.

Hi Mykan!!!!!!!

I've been gone for a month so I apologize if this has already been asked. I found a new fighter in the Knowledge Tree and finally activated it today. The Banshee. It says it's a Mage. Today, I log in for the 3rd time and there's a exclamation point so I go see what this is for and here it's for the same one, Banshee. lol I think it's there a little late when it's taken me all week to research and only active today. lol My questions are is she the same as the other Mages, does the same fighters stand up against her in the same way, and are the points the same? Sorry about the multi questions in one sentence, but they're kinda the same. lol

What I mean is I will put my Cerberus II 2Stars and Four(whatever the sword thing is called) power up against a Mage every time and win using auto. Will this be true with the Banshee?

Much appreciated my friend
