Fast leveling

[Gorwe]

How would you do it if you are only interested in using a Warband for Skirmish? While I MIGHT do the campaign one day, I'm just interested in carefree fun. Run the game, few Skirmishes, done!

I mean, I'd do this through official Warband Builder if there was one. Unfortunately, there isn't.

Don't forget money efficiency too! I could need to train my WB!

Not sure what you are asking for.....

[Bloodscape]

This is a guide to level individual members of a warband (work in progress) using quick games:

http://mordheim-city-of-the-damned.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Leveling_Guide

It is not recommended for just 49 hours of play though. The best way to play at that level is to play the game normally. Once you are used to the game, you can expand on ways to power level small groups. Remember that experience allows the small groups to survive.

Im thinking he's sarcastic but not sure..

Best (non cheating)way I found is this one (works whatever is the wb)
Start rank 5 with 1 leader, 1 big guy, 7 henchmen.
Max out the BG asap in the most aggressive and mobile build available.
Max support leader.
Never have a hench with a level above 2.
Farm the highest wyrdstone mission with a big guy rush on the grouped enemies. They will be hench mostly, around level 4 to 5, and you should be able to dispose of them by turn 4 max with the slowest warbands.
Rince and repeat.

He has 49 hours of gameplay... highly unlikely he has veteran rank 5.

However, I will eventually include your style in the guide (with your permission). There is a similar style posted in the forums.

Bah he can do it from rank 0 too, just use the leaderas the star till 5, then fire him and start with all lvl 0 when there.

And yes, go for it, just do not call it a gameplay please, calll it farming, that's really all it is.

I am still not sure what that means. Is it XP? Items? Gold?

And by Skirmishes, do you mean PvP? Or against the AI?

Against AI.

Xp mostly. So I've most of Warband roster available. You know how you don't have Marauders(for example) until...Warband level 8(I think). That sort of thing.

All of the warbands different units will be unlocked by the time it hits rank 5.

Oh right.

I just wanted to level fast while preserving my crucial characters(commanders etc) for RP and Skirmish AI purposes.

I thought this'd be self evident, I'll be more detailed in future.

Fastest way to get xp is to do harder missions and get objective. But this is only fast if you can actually manage that, otherwise you will simply get slaughtered and its alot slower way to increase.. So my guess would be play it safe according to your skill level, and do your best to get the secondary objectives, but do not sacrifice any heroes in going for that, henchmen are easily replaced.

Let me educate you :)

Find friend who will help you with this .
So you both go in Skirmish game , If you want to get 9 exp per match (3m ) then u should get your WB rating at leas 1200 lower then ur opponent (reason for this is , he will be DEADLY opponent meaning +3 exp for you )

from 0-10 lvl in 2h

2 for match , 3 for objective , 1 for decaicive victory , 3 for deadly = 9 exp

So setup :

Merchants 2 (fastest Map)
, 95% treshhold (no matter morale -16loss will be ehough for morale test , or opponent can volontery rout ), Sneak attack , and Objective Crush their will .

Winner MUST use unit with at least 8 move if Hero or 7 Move if leader (reason SP balance ) It helps exhoustion skill .

So you take Idol return to ur cart , and he can volontery rout , ur opponent wont get injury so relax . but in case save backup .
Inportant Setup around wagon in Sneak attack is in dodge Stance so u can move freely around them , other setup is in ambush so u leave path to wagon clear .

Also u can both players can share exp , meaning 5 exp for loser (loser must get deadly exp +3 and match +2) winer going for the idol and have Rating higher then opponent so winner will get 3 objective +1 vctory and 2 match =6

Now when u LVL all your units and reserve to 10 unskilled , u backup save , test ur builds , and reload when u get new idea.

It help when u have 5/5/5 reputation , so download some savegame files so u dont lack items and runes

Just beautiful. Now, if only I could do this(I don't know anyone who plays Mordheim).

Anything campaign related?
