Navigate the treacherous world of Captain Blood's 'Nuts and Bolts' guide. Learn strategies for Garrulos and Wormskull, conquer maps like Konigheim and Puzzle Palace, and secure the Pearl of Power.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Garrulos the Occasionally Good:
    1. Konigheim:
      • Objective: Extinguish fires by destroying the Aqueduct in the northwest. Lose if the Keep is destroyed.
  2. 2
    Initial Strategy: Create a Basal Golem, move Cleric and Bloodforge to the Keep. Search for Mana Orbs nearby. Ignore the Temple as it's too close to the enemy's Bloodforge. Build a new mystical site (Crypt or Runestone) near your Bloodforge.
  3. 3
    Defense: Use the Cleric to heal Basal Golems if attacked early, preserving mana and damage output.
  4. 4
    Enemy Units: Beware of the Wyrm's flame attacks on the Keep. Gnomes are less threatening.
  5. 5
    Army Composition: Produce at least 8-10 Basal Golems. Supplement with either:
    • Crypt: Hordes of melee-only Zombies to block pathways near the enemy's Bloodforge in the northeast. Risk of fire and AI not exploiting melee weakness at the Keep.
  6. 6
    Runestone: Numerous Wizards for ranged attacks, effective in confined streets and against Stone Golems.
  7. 7
    Victory: Manage mana, produce units, and storm the aqueduct by force of numbers.
  8. 8
    Puzzle Palace:
    • Objective: Breach the palace gate. Lose if you have no followers.
  9. 9
    Challenge: Maze-like, single-unit pathways make pushing forward difficult. Flying units (except Furies) are highly recommended.
  10. 10
    Strategy: If flying units are unavailable, hold position and accrue experience until research allows. Be aware that map images may be misleading due to bridges controlled by trip switches, altering pathways.
  • Wormskull the Artificer:
    • Begins in the Hall of Wonder map, primarily uses Runestone sites. (Specific strategies for Wormskull are not detailed in the provided text).
    • Tips
    • Focus on mana production early to support unit creation and healing.
    • Utilize choke points effectively, but be aware of potential random fires.
    • Adapt your unit composition (Zombies vs. Wizards) based on the map's layout and enemy threats.
    • For Puzzle Palace, prioritize research for flying units if possible.
