Nightmare Highscores & Strategies

[ulia]

As the game has no official leaderboards I'm Interested to hear about your highscores and the build(s) you used to get there (pre-nerf doesn't count).

The other day I got to 1.479.368 with The Order, using Forced Conversion and Devotion while trying to hit enemy buildings at least 3 times with the 30%, and rolling through 20.000-30.000 gold every round to try and get a Spy Network.

In theory 6x Commandery, Blacksmith and Veterans Hall could probably go further than 1.5M, but only to about 40.000-50.000 (latter with a Spy Network in deck) as the 99 faith cap makes for a unit limit of about 8000 (vs 2572 x3 at 3x -30% 1x -40% and 1286 1x due to 50% from Serpens at 40k garrison).

There is maybe an infinite scaling with Barracks, Tithe, Diplomacy, Fresh Troops and By The Sword, but it would scale extremely slowly as unfortunately all the major gold gains are end of round.

Does anyone here have a build idea that can scale past 50k enemies?

Gave it another go with The Order with a bit more intent and focus to end up at over 2M, with the enemy garrison at I believe just above 42k units https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3770232706

Without another Spy Network (which I didn't get from rolling about 80k gold) this seems like the practical maximum with this build. You could probably squeeze out 2-3M or more raw score from spamming expedition resources, but I am not too keen on clicking that button over 6000 times.
