Hunting tiles, what do you get from them?

Hunting got added to March of Empires a couple of releases back.

There are 4 types of tiles that have resources, and they are:

  • Forest
  • Plain
  • Mountain
  • Rocky Woods
On the tiles that are lucky enough to have the hunting symbol on them, they will have a quality of the tile:
  • Exceptional
  • Rich
  • Plentiful
  • Great
  • Fair
  • Sparse
  • Barren
The further down the quality list, the less likely you are to get food from the tile, and you will get less.
My experience has shown that the tiles will allow you to gather the following types of resources, and I've classified the amount you get as well.
I have classified them as 
  • High (pretty much guaranteed to get some regardless of the quality)
  • Medium (Plentiful or better will have these, lower tiles)
  • Low (You might get some of these on Plentiful or better)
The table is:

Food Forest Plain Mountain Rocky Woods
Tough Meat
High Low
Wild Chunks
High
Fatty Meat
Medium Medium
Red Berries

Gamey Chops

Wild Veggies

Nutritious Reeds

Joining The Brotherhood's Assault

 The Brotherhood's Assault is one of the three Alliance Raids in March of Empires.

It is a 4 hour long raid, where the alliance has to protect 7 Treasuries from being attacked by the Brotherhood.

Each Treasury supports a maximum of 2.5M troops, which defend the treasury from waves of T4 or T5 attackers.



The alliance should choose the strongest 7 champions, and get them to reinforce a Treasury each.

Then the rest of the alliance members need to add troops up to the 2.5M cap.

It all sounds easy, but there are things that go wrong, if you aren't paying attention.

The common problems are:

  1. Champion being replaced
  2. Champion not being in Treasury
  3. Wrong troops being sent
The 1st two usually happen if the chosen champion is recalled, and someone else adds to many troops, or includes their champion when reinforcing.
The 3rd usually happens when you don't hit the clear button before reinforcing.

Most alliances will stipulate that you are to add one particular type of troops.  The examples that follow are for T5 Ranged.

What troops should I add?

If your alliance hasn't told you what troops to add, you can check what is in there using the Set Formation button, as shown below.

This will then show what troops are there, and the formation that is currently being used.
DO NOT CHANGE THE FORMATION, just use the back arrow at the top left of the screen after checking what troops are there.

This example shows a Treasury, and if there was space, you would add T5 Ranged.

How do I reinforce?

Now that you know what troops to add, use the Green Reinforce button to add your troops.

After clicking the Reinforce button, a default fill of troops, up to the maximum space remaining, or your march size, will be shown.

You must hit the Clear button.
Then, add an appropriate number of troops of the correct type.

And then hit the Green Reinforce button.

What to look out for?

If you are not one of the declared champion's, then make sure that when you go to reinforce, your champion is not shown.  If you see the circle for your champion, then there isn't a champion in that treasury, and you MUST not fill the treasury
You should probably post a message in Alliance Chat that the champion is missing from that treasury.

This is what it would look like, before hitting clear, and after hitting clear.


If your reinforcement looks like either of the screen shots above, you can add some of the troops as required by your alliance, but 
  • Do NOT add your champion
  • Do NOT fill the treasury
This is to ensure that the declared champion has space to add their champion and troops in.

Anything else to worry about?

If you are recalling to reinforce, make sure there is enough time for your troops to get to the treasury before the next wave of troops get there.

Check for space in the treasuries, and add troops to keep them topped up.
