How can I create an army of chickens?
Solution 1:
I've been playing a lot of Adventure Mode recently, and here's what I've discovered. There are multiple ways in which Cuccos can be employed in a map, and your strategy for getting them to fight with you differs depending on the scenario.
- In one type of scenario, you have Cucco forces on your side to begin with. In this level, the strategy is simple: you already have a chicken army. Enjoy! The more keeps you take, the stronger your chicken army becomes.
- In one type of scenario, a golden Cucco begins feasting on the blood of the soldiers in the various keeps. As far as I can tell, you cannot turn this Cucco to your side any more than you can turn an enemy officer to your side -- that is to say, if it's not scripted, it ain't happening. Kill the Cucco quickly and move on.
- In one type of scenario, Cuccos are present on the map but unaligned to begin with. This is the type of scenario in which various internet sources claim that if you can get your enemies to hit the Cucco, the birds will flock against the enemies. However, I have done extensive experimentation in square D1, and I have concluded that this is not possible. The Shield Moblins in D1 are happy to hit the Cucco, but despite being smacked around by enemies for a solid minute, the Cucco was not enraged until I accidentally caught him in an AoE of my own. The best you can hope for is not to enrage the Cucco at all. Sorry.
- In one type of scenario, you are tasked with reuniting a baby cucco with his mother. Upon reuniting them, the Cucco forces will join your side, including the mother which is a golden cucco.
In one type of scenario, Cuccos fight each other over territory. I'm not 100% sure what you do here, because I've only ever seen one Cucco win and then start attacking everyone as a third rogue faction. If I figure out how to turn this to your advantage I'll return and update.
