Saving Private The Bloody

Guide for 'Saving Private The Bloody' in Diplomacy is Not an Option, detailing the wave timer reset trick and strategies for freeing Scott and repelling the fi.

This mission has a unique objective involving freeing Scott the Bloody from prison and then repelling a final attack. A critical trick here is the wave timer reset mechanic. You do not have a hero unit at the start, making early exploration slower.

Objectives:

• Locate and destroy the Sarranga prison to free Scott the Bloody.
• Repulse the final Sarranga attack.
• Scott the Bloody must survive (after being freed).

Strategy:

• Early Game: Without a hero, early scouting is slower. Rely on your initial troops and focus on establishing your economy quickly. Prioritize Keep Level 2 and 3.
• Map Clearing: Before freeing Scott, systematically clear all enemy units and encampments around the prison. This is crucial for the wave timer reset trick.
• Wave Timer Reset Trick: This is the most important strategy for this mission. Clear the map around the prison and prepare your defenses. When the current wave timer is very low (e.g., 20 seconds remaining), destroy the prison. This will free Scott and reset the end-mission wave timer, giving you an additional 10 minutes to finalize your preparations for the final Sarranga attack.
• Final Attack Preparation: Use the extra time to build robust layered walls, deploy numerous siege weapons (Trebuchets and Catapults), and train a strong army. Scott will join your forces once freed, providing a valuable tank.
• Repulse Final Attack: Position your forces strategically to repel the final, large-scale Sarranga attack. Utilize spells like Mass Healing and Astral Ray if available.

The success of this mission heavily relies on executing the wave timer reset trick effectively, allowing you ample time to build an impenetrable defense for the final assault.
