Wilderness

Wilderness regions are uncontrolled regions on the Map, and may be hills, mountains, lakes, etc. Conquering these regions will improve production of the relevant resource. How much your production is increased depends on the level of the region. The level of the region impacts how hard the region is to conquer and how many troops you will need. You can scout before you try to conquer the region to get an idea of what kind of troops you will need.

Charts

Units in Wilderness

This chart indicates how many troops you will encounter in an unoccupied wilderness:

Level	Supply Troop	Militiamen	Scout	Pikemen	Swordmen	Archer	Cavalry	Heavy Cavalry	Ballista	Battering Ram	Catapult	Traps
1	50	50
2	100	100	50	50								5
3	200	200	100	100	50							10
4	500	500	200	200	100	50						20
5	1000	1000	500	500	200	100	50					50
6	1500	1500	1000	1000	500	200	100					100
7	3000	3000	1500	1500	1000	500	200	50				150

10	25000	25000	12000	12000	6000	3000	1500	400	200	100	50	1200

Traps regenerate 10% of that level every 5 minutes.

Fighting in the Wilderness

Note that the effectiveness of your troops in battle is determined by the level of your knight and your levels in fletching, metal alloys, poisoned edge and healing potions.

With the addition of Traps in the patch of 25. February, it is no longer possible to conquer a Wilderness level 8 and above without any losses.

However, 1 Militiaman will clear all traps on any level wild. The report will read, "Troops were overwhelmed in battle. Unable to determine enemy strength.", and will only show 1 trap cleared, but rest assured that they are all gone.

Here is a basic chart that indicates the properties of different levels:

Level	% Increase	Wave 1	Wave 2	Troop Losses	Minimum Fletching	Knight Combat Skill Pts.	Comments
1	5%	n/a	50 Archers	0	1+	50
2	10%	1 Militiamen	250 Archers + 1 Militiaman	0	2+	50
3	15%	1 Militiamen	500 Archers + 1 Militiaman	0	3+	50
4	20%	1 Militiamen	1,000 Archers + 1 Militiaman	0	4+	50
5	25%	1 Militiamen	1,500 Archer + 1 Militiaman	0	5+	50	OK
6	30%	1 Militiamen	3,000 Archers + 1 Militiaman	0	6+	50	OK
7	35%	1 Militiamen	6,000 Archers + 1 Militiaman	0	7+	50	OK
8	40%	300 Militiamen	40k Archers + 500 Militiaman	0	8+	50
9	45%	600 Militiamen	55k Archers + 600 Militiaman	0	9+	90	OK
10	50%	1200 Militiamen	100k Archers + 1200 Militiaman	0	10	55

- 1 Militiamen for wave 1 is accurate for wilderness level 2 to 7 but does not work w/ level 8 to 10.
- Updated no. of archers on level 6, 7

Multi-wave Attacks

You need to time the 2 waves so that the Archers arrive 1-15 seconds after the Militiamen. (Edit: If you want to play it safe, just send along a few more Militamen with the second wave, they will die off before the Archers.) You need Fletching researched to the level of the wilderness you are attacking.

To help with coordinating march times, go back into the march screen imediatly and send a couple militia with the archers. This slows the archers to the march speed of militia and leaves you no math to do.

The Troop Speed page has a link to a web-based calculator that includes all skill effects, or follow the link here: KoC Troop Speed Calculator.

Here is an Excel table that will help with march timing Marching Calculator (provided by Darkfeather1)

Don't allow the second wave to overtake the first - send at least one of the slowest type of the first wave along with the second.

Crests in the Wilderness

This article is a stub. You can help Kingdoms of Camelot Wiki by expanding it.

Starting with Tournament of Crests, Crests started dropping in the game. Some of these are also needed to build your third City.
