How to unlock expedition forge of empires
Forge of Empires Guild Expedition Intro
0:00 / 0:00
all right today I'll be doing a guide on
the guild expedition if you've never
done the guild expedition before you can
find it down here in the bottom left
corner we're gonna go straight to the
guild expedition tab so this is
primarily for people who have never done
the expedition before or who have never
tried it so we're just gonna quickly go
around the map here on the UI and kind
of explain things this up here is the
guild contribution every time you
complete an event you get some points
and it fills you up and if you click
this this will show the rank of your
guild overall and how many people have
completed the guild expedition or here
is your attempts every time you try to
do in an attempt on the guild expedition
it's gonna use one of these little
medallions when you run out they
regenerate every 24 hours you can also
purchase these by clicking the plus you
can purchase them with metals diamonds
and more diamonds if you purchase them
for metals the price goes up a little
bit every attempt you purchase so the
next one is probably going to be for
metals and it kind of goes up
exponentially eventually it'll get up
into like the 250 metal area and then go
up almost 50 every time after that but
it takes a little bit every week this
resets so you can buy more attempts at
the beginning of each week and not have
to worry about cascading your metal
output every week this shows you the
current difficulty you're on there's
four difficulties that need to be
unlocked by the guild every week we can
talk a little bit more about that later
but let's dive straight into the map
I've already completed two of the events
and I have seven attempts left so right
here one of these platforms is the event
you need to attempt and then right here
is the reward you get so I've already
done two of them so this is my next
event so you can click on it and it's
gonna cost one attempt so you can either
choose to attack or negotiate and we're
gonna kind of talk a little bit about
attack and negotiate a little bit later
but right now I'm going to actually
negotiate this and kind of show you guys
what then
oh she a champagne looks like this
confused the heck out of me the first
time I did it but now it's actually
pretty easy so this is super important
down here this is the turns you have
left to negotiate we have three turns
left so when you click on this you can
select a resource and each one of these
people each one of these five people is
going to be looking for either supplies
coins or honey since I'm in the high
middle ages
I'm gonna be using all early middle age
or high middle age goods and honey is an
early middle age good with only three
attempts and three resources I can
actually just kind of brute-force this
by choosing each resource once and I'm
gonna get everybody correct so we're
gonna click pay and negotiate so I'm
paying each one of these people and I
lose all the supplies that I just paid I
don't ever get those back so that's a
payment so when you get a red pane that
shows up that means it's incorrect these
people are not supplies this guy in the
middle is the only one that wants
supplies so if we go click on our
resource supplies is greyed out because
we've got the only guy I need supplies
nobody else wants them usually I would
just do coins and then I would be able
to figure out whoever's left is gonna be
honey but I'll I'll choose a honey and
hopefully I don't get it because I want
to show you what happens if you get it
wrong perfect so what we've done here is
you have a little kind of amber colored
box and it says wrong person well what
does that mean we got two coins correct
and we already got our supplies correct
but now have a coin that says wrong
person and a honey that says wrong
person what that means is honey is the
correct resource for one of the people
remaining and coins is the correct
resource for one of the people remaining
all I have to do is figure out what
person it is well with two people left
and two resources it makes it really
easy so I know that this guy's honey
because this guy doesn't want honey over
here this person doesn't want coins so
you switch them up and you collect a
negotiate boom and you're gonna get it
correct so this does use all those
resources I used one more honey than I
needed to that wasn't
necessarily the most efficient way but
it was a good way to show you guys what
happens when you choose the correct
resource for the wrong person so now you
can choose your reward over here
the rewards change every time and you
can actually win attempts which is good
since I showed you a negotiation will
show you an attack when you get to this
is kind of like a boss stage right here
all of these are kind of like the stages
that lead up to it the Bostitch usually
has two waves for the attack phase so
you got wave one and wave two now the
best strategy for attacking is using one
unit and the rest rogue's so you can see
here this is the unit slider I have all
my high middle aged units I have Trevor
Shay's nights well these are like the
horse nights and these are the heavy
infantry which are kind of like nights
with no horses crossbows berserkers
champions which you can get in any age
and then all my rogues and then color
guard drummers down here which I never
ever use so I'm gonna click and fill my
thing up with rogues and now we're gonna
take a look so we have three horse
bowmen and basically what they're gonna
do is all these units are gonna rush
over to me super fast and attack me so I
don't want to use long-range because
they're gonna get over to me really soon
and then there's melee so the perfect
unit to use for this is gonna be our
heavy infantry so I'm gonna sub out my
trebuchet for a heavy infantry and what
we're looking for here is if you don't
know how a rogue works is they can
basically one-shot any unit by
themselves but if they take damage they
turn into a regular unit so we're going
to click attack
and so right now you have the the
mounted cavalry these are early middle
age units and the benefit of using a
heavy infantry over here is that when
one of these melee guys attacks my rogue
he's gonna get kind of that retribution
attack against the knight and so the
goal here is to not let any of my rogues
die and then the better goal is to not
let any of them take damage so since
these are mounted archers I can attack
them no problem and they're not gonna
they don't get like a revenge attack
against me and so I'm gonna be able to
go up here and you see the expected
damages 9 to 10 so I can just one shot
this guy with my rogue and then I'm
gonna move all my rogues up here and the
plan is to get them all attacked all
these guys are going to attack my rogues
and turn them in tonight's I probably
could have waited back here a little bit
longer but I think I'm pretty safe with
you know all these rogues versus a
couple horse guys so you'll move up our
front lines and another thing to note is
the AI is always going to attack the
rogue closest to them well I guess not
closest to them and they're always going
to attack a rogue but if they can't
reach a rogue that are gonna attack the
unit closest to them so if I had all
Knights up here and a rogue back here
they're not going to go all the way to
the left side of the map to attack my
rogue and what that does is that gives
you a predictability in who they're
going to attack and you can kind of let
you plan out your strategy that way so
what I want to do if I have I have one
rogue left so I'm just gonna damage one
guy a little bit and then kill him with
the rogue and then hopefully I can kill
this guy before he attacks again perfect
so I didn't even convert all my units
they're all at full health and I get to
start the next battle and this battle is
gonna be super super easy
I could probably Auto battle through it
but I don't sometimes the AI is really
stupid so I don't really suggest Auto
battling in the guild expedition you can
just click on your units and it will
pass their turn for them and when you're
using rogues and a melee unit is your
conversion unit right here you want to
wait for all the male I guys to come up
to you and see he's gonna attack and
then my my heavy infantry attacks him
back and now he's at for health and I'm
gonna bring a couple rogues up here so
that these guys will attack rogues let's
see nine to ten I could just try to one
shot him but we'll be safe so just move
all the rogues up so they're gonna
attack the rogues at this point I could
auto battle cuz I know that these two
guys are gonna attack two rogues and
then I have eight units that are gonna
attack them back but we'll just go
through it slowly so you can kind of see
what's happening so these guys they
attack rogues the rogues turn into heavy
infantry attack them back and then I get
to use all eight of my turns and
clearmount no problem so that was an
example of fighting through an encounter
that takes way longer than negotiating
but it's it's good because it doesn't
use any goods or supplies so let's let's
talk about each of those things real
quick we have fighting through
encounters how can I make that easier
well if I go back to my city you can buy
a couple great buildings will not buy
them build them castle de menthe is a
great building that gives military power
every time you level it and I believe
all of the all of the military great
buildings give you three percent attack
and defense when you're attacking up to
level 10 so if I get this the level 10
it would give me 30 and this one also
gives you four points every 24 hours so
that's pretty awesome the next one is
the Statue of Zeus this is probably one
of the easiest ones to get because I'm
pretty sure it's Bronze Age yep Bronze
Age the only downside of this is it
doesn't give you anything else except
military power
so mine's at level four he's giving me
12 and another I mean a good thing about
this is it's so tiny you can really fit
it anywhere in your town a little nook
here and there the last military
building is the Cathedral of Aachen
which is an early middle aged building
and that's gonna give you coins every
day plus the military power now if
you're on a budget and you don't want to
fill your city up with three buildings I
would say this is probably the worst one
if you can get the castle Demont and the
statute Zeus and get them both leveled
to where they're giving you about 20
percent power or 21 at level seven then
you're at 42 percent power for your
whole army which is pretty good if you
ever need to know what your total bonus
is you can click on your Town Hall and
under the boost overview you're gonna
get an idea so mine's at 42 because I
have a nine 21 into twelve and this
helps tremendously with the expedition
not so much with offense but as defense
because you notice that the enemy is it
takes them almost for me almost twice as
many hits to kill my guys which is super
important if you're using rogues because
it makes them a lot more durable and you
lose a lot less of them so if you plan
on fighting through the expedition this
is a great path to take and these
buildings will definitely help you the
next building I want to talk about is
the temple of relics you can earn
Templar relics blueprints from the
expedition or by putting forged points
on somebody else's Templar relics just
how you would get regular blueprints
what this does is it gives you a percent
chance to spawn a relic every time you
finish an encounter what does that mean
okay let's take a look at the expedition
map up here in the right corner is my
relic hunt and this is going to kind of
become colorful if I've spawned a relic
by finishing an encounter so every time
I do one of these encounters there's a
13% chance to spawn a relic the relics
have different rarities and they have
really good rewards
Templar relics is worth putting down
even if you don't level it and you can
see here I have a 75% chance to get a
Templar relics blueprints from this so
we're gonna see oh look there's a
Templar relics blueprint or three it's
not a huge deal
oh nice so I just spawned a gold relic
here and we're gonna click that I don't
think it'll show me what the chances are
but you can get for two points goods
see what we get here a tribal square a
building that I will never build but
what happens if you get later into the
expedition and you want to negotiate
this is where this little building up
here comes in your friends tavern in the
friends tavern you can go to the tavern
shop scroll down to the extra turn boost
and if you activate this for 1500 silver
for 1500 tavern silver you get 15
minutes of one extra turn when you
negotiate in the guild expedition well
what's that mean
that means instead of having three turns
I know how four turns and right now this
is not so vital because I can probably
negotiate through this but later when
you negotiate you'll have 10 choices of
items and that's almost impossible to do
on three turns after this encounter
that's probably gonna be it for this
introductory to the guild expedition
video I think I'm gonna do a video later
on advanced negotiation tactics so enjoy
this last fight hopefully I don't lose
anybody and see you next video
