Knights on Boats

[MadJennie]

I keep seeing mentions of bringing the knights on the boats. How do I get them on the boats? I haven't figured out how to do that

Say you have two knights on the left and two knights on the right. If the harbour for the ship is on the far right then you have your knights on the right destroy all of the portals on the right. When there are no more portals on the right then you can send those knights to guard your ship. And they'll eventually board the ship once it reaches the docks. Letting you start the next map with those two knights.

you can sent you knights to the pier just as you would to attack a portal. Pay 4 coins per knight at your futhest out wall on the side with the pier. They will board the boat at the pier.

I can confirm that you can at least 4 knights including their archers on the boat. I don't know the upper limit.

Wait how can you get all four on the boat

[Clive Hawkins]

You can't on the first Island

However, the two Knights you bring with you to Island #2 don't count towards the four Knights you can make on Island #2 thus giving you six total. This let's you bring three Knights to Island #3. Make four more there and you have seven. With luck you can now bring four Knights to Island #4 and Island #5. Eight Knights on one Island and four Knights in a ship then becomes your maximum.

Ah, that makes more sense. Thank you!

If you bring two from the map before to the next map they will spread 1 left 1 right. Then you can upgrade you camp to max again and hire 2 additional knights on both sides. As long no knight dies you now have 3 knights on each side. By this point you can put all 3 from one side on the boat.

You can also find a hermit in one of the later maps. He that lets you upgrade your towers that can hold 3 archers, to a tower where you can hire an additional knight. By this point you could get a knight for every possible tower building spot.
