I am struggling to get better at this game.

.

6 hours playing doesn't make sense. It'll get you tired and possibly mad/ tilted.

As mentionned above, you better reducing time playing and studying it deeper with forum's guides.

You maybe missed something obvious that you'll discover later..

Each quest has some solution, When unable to find it by myself. I just go on youtube and apply it ( but that's kind of cheating . Sometimes, I have to admit the quest is beyond my level and i just pass

 

Edit: Somehow I read Geese as Greek.

Marion can be painful to solo with the no-siege option and snowmans approaching from both entrances at the beginning. Ice King is probably the easiest to solo out of the event legs if you are using Greek, Babylon, or Egyptian. You can greed out the 1st wave of snowman by run your spearmen around your initial 2 towers, then build a bunch of towers/fortresses/units until your palins/elephants/etc.

Paphos is easy to solo if you are careful in how you wall for your caravans (and very hard if you don't). If you do wall correctly (i.e. not extending too far into P2), you won't get snowmans on that side. However, if you mess up your walling, or if you don't wall while your partner does in co-op, you get 100% of the waves of both P1 and P2. I found out the hard way last year, and it's not fun.

As for co-op in general, if you are worried about not being able to "defend your side", pick ones with only 1 entrance, like Ice King Mountain, Winter Wonderland, and Questing in Woods. That way, if you can't defend, it's not only your fault. Good players would be able to handle all the defending by themselves if they have to, and co-op merely makes it faster for them. They may even be able to pick up on things you are doing wrong, like "where are your villagers?" and "where are your upgrades?". (I am little iffy on recommending Candy Cane Kourion. While it is easy, it's not the usual caravan spam that we all know and "love".)

Another tip for learning quests. Try starting the quest solo, and just send your scout to build watch posts and do nothing else. You should be able to pick up the timing and size of the first 2 attack waves.

P.S. I should update my guides. Dumnorix is no longer stupid OP, even though I think he is still good.

 

I think it's possible to keep the points for next year

 

yep, I think greaves and arrows are pretty good

Anyway. you can store some in your vault and sell them later just in case you need some coins to buy another gear. better having it now before event end

dont forget to split between civs for crafting items

 

Personally, I am just buying strongholds. 7 for the 7 civs. Not sure how I am going to spend the hearts/shards since I already have tons of arrows from last year.

 

Playing P1 in Paphos is the hard side of Paphos. I usually have P2 wall himself in and I take both snowman attacks and the bulk of the enemy as P1 with a wall opening to lure everybody to my side. A line of towers and forts usually takes care of most of it in Cyprus legendary Paphos, but for the winter quest I have to make infantry to help me defend initially.

 

I am putting the greaves on my Chief, Hoplites, and Sparabara. Might put them on elephants, but I doubt it. JEINX showed me his fire and ice elephant build and it does look intriguing. Set spear, set shield, ice horse armor, and ice greaves.

As far as the points are concerned, I will get 7 ice forts, just like I got 7 libraries and 7 prisons. Then, I might spend some points on the ice horse armor. Think I am going to go with an ice theme in Celts and Norse. Ice slings, ice arrows, and ice spears. These spears are one of the only ones in the game with snare. They are the equivalent of the old Enkindu spears when Project Celeste first started. I could not get Zahhak spears for my Norse, Babylonian, or Celts spearmen, so they will get ice spears. I still need to work on gearing up Norse, Babylon, and Celts, mostly because I have been lazy about it.

Congrats on figuring out most of the quests. If you coop with somebody that is knowledgeable, they should be able to spend 5 minutes with you to show you the ropes and then restart the quest to get it done. One piece of advice I will give you is to always build an additional TC as soon as you can, and then to keep villagers pumping out of them. If there is water, put up a dock too and get some fishing boats out. Kourion and I believer Woods are both good maps for fishing boats. Get your economy booming and your defenses up, and then start pumping out military units.
