There's an upcoming daily quest with the requirement to "Have the first difficulty in Guild Expeditions solved".
I am BA and haven't played GE. Is this an impossible requirement for me to meet or can I meet it by joining a guild that has done it?
The problem I foresee is that the alternative requirement "Defeat this large army" is also going to be impossible for me to solve, which will stop my winter event progress cold.
To complete GE level 1, you need to be in Iron age and in a guild before GE starts for the week, which will be Dec. 10'th, same day this quest rolls around.
Then you would need to solve 16 GE encounters before the following Monday. Most new players can't do that in the first week of Iron age because they don't have the goods to negotiate with or the troops to fight with, or the skills needed to do either. Not saying it can't be done, it can. But it's hard.
Defeat large army is also hard for a new player in BA, but may be an option. Use attack boosts. You will probably get some from doing the event, and you can buy from tavern. And you will need troops of course. You will be able to see what troops the attacking army has. Pick your troops accordingly. You can ask here...what is the best way to defeat this large army with these troops?
But don't kill yourself, or...worse yet...harm your city progress over this. There are lots of events every year (some say too many). It isn't expected that new players will be able to finish the first ones they encounter. But you will still pick up lots of useful bits just by trying.
