Island Clearing Guide
Contents |
Based on Combat Guide & FAQ on the TSO forums.
Introduction
This guide explains the best troop setups to use against each camp on your island.
Sectors are in order of difficulty rather than numerical.
Abbreviations:
- R = Recruits
- B = Bowman
- C = Cavalry
- M = Militia
- S = Soldier
- LB = Longbowman
Example: [100R + 75B] (49R) This mean you send in 100 Recruits + 75 Bowman and the maximal losses are 49 Recruits.
Example: [W1:100C W2:200R W3:130R 70B] (350R) Each number (in this case W1:/W2:/W3: ) stands for a wave. which means in wave one and two in this case your general dies.
FAQ
Q: Will I lose exp if I skip camps?
A: Once the leader is killed you also get all the exp from the remaining camps that disappear. You do not however get the loot from those skipped camps.
Q: Can I retreat my general?
A: If your general is still moving on the map then yes you can. Click on the garrison of the general and click the Retreat button.
Q: How do I move my general to X location?
A: Click on the Garrison of your general and click on Transfer.
Q: What are those red squares around all the camps?
A: This is the influence zone of a camp. if you go through this you will be drawn to that camp to fight. This also means your general can be intercepted before he reaches the desired camp.
Q: Can i send other setups then the ones you posted?
A: You sure can but always be sure you only lose recruits or bowmen in the fight, unless it's a leader.
Q: Are there any good combat calculators out there?
A: The one I found most accurate is Combat Simulator
Q: How does the Combat System work?
A: Sparkz has written an excellent guide about this which you can find here: Combat System By Sparkz
Q: I am closing in on the last zone? Is this the end?
A: Once you reach level 26 you get the ability to do Adventures.
Q: How much EXP does unit X give?
A: Silvanoshei has written a guide on how much exp you need for each level and what each unit gives. Link is here: Exp Needed to level
Q: Why are you using mostly recruits?
A: They are cheap and build fast. if you have some special units be sure to send them only when you're sure they will not die. Always use the calculator.
Q: Do enemys respawn?
A: Enemy units do not respawn once killed. Bosses do recover their health if they still have HP left and your general dies.
Q: Can i get faster settlers besides waiting 15m or gems?
A: You can turn 25 Bread into 1 Settler in the Provision House.
Q: WTF the retreat button on my garrison is Grey, I can't push it.
A: You can only retreat if your general is moving on the map, not while fighting. Also when a general comes out of a camp and you have your garrison already open then the window will not update, so be sure to click the garrison when your general is moving on the map!
Sector 2
You get sector 1 and 4 for free so we can skip those. Our first sector to take over is sector 2. Since it's the most easiest sector. There is only one camp and then you can kill the leader.
- Easy Camp (6 Scavenger) [10R (3R)]
- Bandit Leader (12 Scavenger) [25R (6R)]
Sector 5
Fastest Route

- Easy Camp (15 Scavenger + 20 Stone Thrower) [26R & 26B (16-25R)]
- Note: Now comes the tricky part since we skipped a camp. If you attack camp 6 directly you will get intercepted. So attack the bandit leader and you will get intercepted by camp 6. Right after Camp 6 is cleared open up your garrison and click retreat. Otherwise your general will go to the Leader.
