Scout a province quests are easiest early in the game. Later on if you're not anticipating how far ahead you can comfortably scout before you reach a problem it'll take much longer to recover for map quests. Now would be the perfect time to look at the problem and decide how you're going to manage your map going forward. One option is to leave a province unscouted when you move forward on the map so you if you do reach a spot you're outmatched you have a unscouted province in a easier area to fall back on during events.Quest 20: Scout a province or defeat a large army.
Some of us early age players can do neither of those.
How difficult a Large Army is will depend on if you're willing to manually fight. 8 ranged units are amazing in manual fights. Early in the ages you can easily beat Large Army using only ranged units and no boosts if you're manually fighting. If you auto battle you'd have to use an entirely different strategy as the ranged units would need support and they wouldn't hold back out of range of the opponent. 4 heavy with 4 artillery can do fairly well on auto. Depending on the enemy unit combination you're up against you may need to change the combination you're using on Auto
By not completing the event you've already got a reduced building payout. What exactly would you like to see implemented that'd allow you to have a reduced payout, complete the event and not reduce the payout for anyone who is able to complete the quests in the same age?Reduce the building payout for us, but give us a chance to finish the event.
