Launching Attacks: Why does the boat take priority?

[crazydan05]

So...

I've been on island 2 with "iron" upgrades unlocked. I'm trying to conquer Island #2 in order to progress down the line and finish the game. I arrived on a fully intact boat.

Left side has the dock with the lighthouse, and it's completely cleared of portals. Still has knights though!

Right side has the boat dock and the big portal, so of course I've amassed most of my defenses and walls up on that end of things. This side has knights as well!

So here's my problem: I want to launch on attack on the big portal. This way I can slowly expand towards the cave so that I can finish it off with the "big bomb". When I paid for said attack on the right side, instead of charging towards the big portal they run straight to the boat and jump in. Can't make more knights either!

Now, normally I'd be fine with this because I'd be like "oh, I just need to have the left side paid to attack so they can fill the boat up instead. I'm not even using them anyway, right? They just stand around forever. That way the right side knights can't GO to the boat because it's already full and they'll attack the portal instead! EZ PZ, right?" No. Left side can't even be paid to do anything, so I'm stuck with a right side that'll automatically rush to the boat when they're paid to attack and I can't make any progress.

Does anyone have any tips other than resetting my campaign and avoiding to build lighthouses?

build the bomb and go right you can stop at every small portal on the way and destory it or if your feeling lucky you can run past them all to go to the big portal and run inside it doesnt matter if the small ones are left the island is cleared (you might lose some knights and archers buts its better then restarting your game)

1. Right Click Kingdom Two Crowns in your Steam library.
2. Go to properties.
3. Go to the "BETAS" tab.
4. Select "public-test" in the drop down menu.

The beta-patch will add Wharf Bell to the boat docks which allows the player to manually call citizens to the boat.

Thanks for the advice! ♥

I figured I would need to eliminate the big portal at least once before I'd try to Big Bomb it, but I suppose that would be a valid strategy. Thanks for the idea!

I'm having this problem on the Switch. Yes I know it's steam forums. Can't send my knights forward and they're stuck on the boat.

It's not exclusive to switch and you're always welcome to ask anyways :)

If that happens and you don't have any knights left to attack from that side (I guess it can happen, personally I can't remember them going into boat from a side that has the cave), I'm afraid all there is left is to leave and return back and god help you if you've built lighthouse on that island.

Lo and behold, yeah. Lighthouses built on another island and the same issue occurs. It's a real shame, cause I had finally got the game down. Guess I'll start anew and have the plan down even further. Thanks for the advice!

For steam. If you look back just 3 posts, I clearly said I'm having this problem on Switch. :P

ah, i skimmed, but with the patch in beta, it should roll out not too long after on consoles.
