Platoons and Strategy

One of the three Rogue Platoons

Rogue Norse Platoons

  • Health: 100
  • Troops: 15
  • Level: 1 (Conscripts)
  • Tribe: Norse
  • Behavior: Moves around randomly, on the opposite end of the land, from your town. Doesn't seem to wander far from Rockridge.
• Platoon 2:
  • Health: 100
  • Troops: 15
  • Level: 1 (Conscripts)
  • Tribe: Norse
  • Behavior: Moves around randomly, on the opposite end of the land, from your town. Only patrols between Rockridge and Stonepeak.
• Platoon 3:
  • Health: 100
  • Troops: 15
  • Level: 1 (Conscripts)
  • Tribe: Norse
  • Behavior: Moves around randomly, on the opposite end of the land, from your town. Doesn't leave the vicinity of Stonepeak.

Strategy

For this land, it is typically best, just to increase your town's impressiveness to 9,000, so that upon completing the tutorials, you automatically win the land (due to the other two towns' villagers migrating to you).

If, however, you want your creature to obtain some battle experience and some muscle, it is advisable to have him take care of the platoons. If not, it's best if you left them alone.
