Scene: Coalition, Chain The Beast. You'll only need Nelson, Sidney and that small infantry. Use Nelson and Sidney to take out the light cav in the pink circle, the coastal fort in the white circle is optional. This should be easy, but you might will need a little s/l to make sure Tripolitania doesn't aim on you before that Egyptian cavalry leaves.  Then you can farm.  The advantage is you can cover the point to move and undo at the same point, no more accidents!    |

I actually sometimes loose the unit while farming. Clicking too quickly while the unit is on its way

My first thought was "How the hell do you farm in Chain the Beast, one of the fastest-moving of the early campaigns?" My next thought was that it doesn't really matter. All you have to do is hold the French at bay and land the little dude; once he's in position, it's just undo and redo and nothing else matters.
Also, I thought you needed a general to farm for nobility...

You make a save before adding a general. Then deploy general and move/undo. After the general has reached max nobility you reload and train another general.

Done it. Got my pre-farming, pre-General-assigning save point set up, so it doesn't even matter if I tap the screen out of rhythm and lose the undo. Didn't even need to kill the cannon. And to make it all the sweeter, my little dude is doing the move-undo dance right under Napoleon's nose!
Thanks heaps for this!

Bring the infantry down to the 3 farms directly south of where you start. Get your infantry to land there and carefully put him in a position where he can take all three farms at once. Save. Put your desired gen on the unit. Now you just capture the farms and click the undo arrow. There you go! I'm done here, my people need me. *Leaves*.

I used this strategy to get the farm upgraded,produce an extra unit and farm with two generals and three upgraded farms.
Send your amphibious team straight away to the farm eastmost of the Tripolitania general. Land, upgrade the farm and your next turn, return to the sea. Sit and wait for Napoleon to land on your upgraded farm, using this time to eliminate all enemies with in firing range. Engage and destroy Napoleon when he reaches the farm, simultaneously landing your amphibious team within striking distance of the now French Cal. Camp. Now you must take the camp, produce a unit, return to the sea with the amphibious team, land two spaces back of the three upgraded farms. SAVE. Put in your generals and farm.
Watch the clock, only 25 turns but you should get it done around 21.

segdaas, I take it you've found by experiment that capturing upgraded farms brings more nobility? Upgrading the farms then taking your little dude off and killing Napoleon before returning to farm again makes good sense if this is true, but I fail to see what having two generals gains you. Yes, you can farm more, but I always thought the strong point of this method is its simplicity - you just tap endlessly on the same point on the screen, and you can do that automatically while you save your concentration for something else.

pathdoc, I believe this to be the case, upgraded farms move your meter more.
Can anyone e verify this?

Never mind my previous post. I have a vast improvement. I took the Tripolitania city, all navy yards, the two Cal. Camps. Got five generals farming on three upgraded farms. I want to post the picture but don't know how to.
