FoEhints: Dunarsund, Bronze Age Province in Forge of Empires
Even before the first military building is constructed, the tutorial asks you to conquer the first sector of Dunarsund.
You scout the province Dunarsund with your scout. This only takes a few seconds. Then you click on the province and see three sectors. Your task is to conquer the left sector.
You received two unattached Spearfighters. Move them to your attack team and start the battle. The moves are defined by the tutorial. Spearfighters have a bonus when hiding in bushes and β even better β forests. Knowing this often makes the difference between victory and loss. As your Spearfighter uses the bonus and the computer sends worse units, you cannot lose that first fight. Future battles will not be that easy.
A bit later you will receive the quest to develop Spears and afterwards to construct barracks. Recruit the first Spearfighter immediately. This only takes 30 seconds. Then recruit a second. To use the third slot in the barracks it has to be enabled. You will need this third and also the fourth slot. Do NOT enable the fifth slot. The requires diamonds and the few diamonds that you already have can be used much better. These barracks will not last long. And when you destroy the building the diamonds would be lost.
As this YouTube channel wants to demonstrate how all sectors can be won with battles, we will not negotiate. For the next battles a second barracks helps. You should also enhance the second barracks to 4 slots.
When you own 8 Spearfighters send them into the next battle to conquer the last two sectors of Dunarsund.
First we pick the sector in the middle. We find a Horseman there plus 2 Barbarians. We use bushes and forests to take advantage of the related bonus. On top spear fighters have a bonus against fast units like this horsemen. Therefore this opponent will not survive for long. The Barbarians are weaker than the Spearfighters and with 8 Spearfighters against only 2 Barbarians this fight is not really a challenge. Look how the bushes are occupied in a way that the opponent cannot use them when attacking. This way he fights without a bonus. Usually it is guaranteed that the computer will attack and not wait for you. Exactly this will be your strength in the future.
One Spearfighter is wounded and I replace him by one of the healthy Spearfighters. In the third sector we again face a Horseman and 2 Barbarians. The map is different this time. As I have such a majority I do not pay much attention to keep my team together. But in the future this will be the key for you to win your battles. This time I only pay attention to take advantage of the field bonus.
An opponent can retaliate only once per round. Attacking the same target multiple times in the same round has the advantage that all other attackers will not receive retaliation damage. This will also be very important in the future, especially against targets which are able to take more hits.
Congratulations. You conquered Dunarsund. Do not miss the next videos demonstrating the battles in the other provinces.
