Power creep outreach map : Impossible to 3 star IMPLEMENTED

It is impossible to 3 star because light cavalry cannot be one shotted anymore. I say 2 stars is even very hard but since drejade said he completed it at 2 stars I guess 3 is the one that is impossible. I already 3 starred it before but now my best is 10 turns. Idk what exactly is to change so maybe changing the positions of the spearmen?

Tried once today. Still possible to get 3 stars but need to predict AI's movements.

(S1)(P1)
(S2)(P2)

Turn 1: Remove watch tower. S2 move to origin tower and then shoot light cal. P2 attack light cal. Move S1 next to another light cal (lose 2hp). Move P1 to attack another light cal so two light cal lost.

Turn 2: Use S1 and S2 to shoot 9 hp spearman. P2 move down to attack 1hp spearman.
.......................R
................(S1)R
(P2)......p
...........(S2)
.............R
.............R

I think you can handle remain turns. :)

Hi there,

I tried this map many times in the last days and I also think that the 3 star result is impossible.
The solution tamtam suggested does not work at all. The only way I can make it within the 2 star limit is to lure one of the enemy spearmen into attacking the watchtower, so that it leaves my skirmishers alone until they finished the archers.
The best I could do are 7 turns to win but for 3 stars the limit is 5 turns.

To resolve this topic: I raised the turn limit for 3 stars a while ago to 8 turns, I was able to get 3 stars in 5 turns everytime before. Luckily it is still winnable just not in as many turns as before so 8 turns should be plenty

Lowest known possible is 7 as of recently
