Hello everyone.
I found a bug in the game that allows you to max out any weapon and rank to "Platinum" in less than an hour. (Game patch 1.8)
I don't know if a similar method has been described on the forum or not, but I didn't find it. So, I wrote down my method. So...
Brief description:
Gather a huge army, run around the neutral creatures, and "Release them."
Detailed description:
VERY IMPORTANT:
- Do not attack neutral creatures.
- Gather all friendly troops, except goblins (!).
- It is not necessary to rebuild the Castles.
1. Start a campaign as Orcs (it doesn't matter which), launch the first mission on normal difficulty (conduct all battles in auto-battle mode).
2. Run to the first Castle, picking up 3 friendly Orcs along the way.
3. After capturing the first Castle, release the goblins at the sawmill and run to capture the second Castle.
4. After capturing it, spend a week, improving both Castles, and, at the same time, release harpies and centaurs.
5. After about a week, an enemy hero appears. Gather the entire army and defeat him, then run to capture the third Castle.
6. Capture it, spend another week, and with the ready army, run to release the shamans from the enemy hero and the goblins from the griffin (on the map to the left of the 3rd Castle).
ATTENTION: After killing the griffin, do NOT pick up the goblins!
7. Next, the gates open - take all the troops and run to defeat the fort.
8. After defeating the fort, another set of gates opens, and an enemy hero appears from them.
9. Buy an army, defeat the hero, and capture the 4th Castle.
10. Spend another week and defeat the 5th Castle.
That's it, the map is ready for weapon leveling. Now the most interesting part begins:
11. Fast forward about 40 months (the more, the better), while improving all captured Castles to the maximum (you can skip the turns quickly by pressing the E key).
12. Run with an empty hero to the upper right corner from the 4th Castle, there are friendly goblins in the amount of 999999. Take them.
13. Deploy them (I gathered all the troops in the 3rd Castle) and, again with an empty hero, run for others. They are located to the left of the 3rd Castle, the ones that were guarded by griffins. Take them.
14. So, we have an army consisting of 2 packs of goblins of 999999 each and several thousand creatures bought in the Castles.
15. Now, find neutral creatures on the map with a threat level of "negligible" and rush towards them with our entire army.
16. Attack them. And then a window pops up with the following options:
A - "Attack / Retreat"
or
B - "Pursue / Leave them"
17. If option "A" appears, press the "Retreat" button (we will return to these creatures later with a larger army).
If option "B" appears, this is what we need! Press "Leave them" and, BAM!, the equipped weapon is maxed out + rank + dynasty gold.
18. Change the weapon to another and go to the next creature. And so on, all over the map...
19. After running through all the creatures, there are 2 possible scenarios:
- start the campaign again and level up the un-leveled weapons (saving/loading does not help)
- or sit in the Castle and spend-spend-spend months until enough army accumulates to "intimidate" the remaining creatures. (I did exactly that. I launched an "autoclicker" and stepped away from the computer. After 3 hours, it was already the 3500th month. After buying everything that had accumulated, I leveled up the remaining weapons).
Tip: There are 2 neutral armies on this map: archers (in the center of the map near the lantern) and novices (in the upper right corner of the map near the fort). If you have a large enough army, they will join you. (Of course, I'm talking about joining in the amount of 999999).
P.S. In principle, this method works on any map, but I leveled up on this one.
Thank you for your attention, good luck with leveling up!
