Way of Life cheat?
I'm a roleplayer by nature. While I LOVE the Dynasty Warriors game, it simply takes too long to unlock all the ways of life. Is there a way to unlock them all in one go? Maybe a cheat or a save file transfer? I wanna make like 40 characters and just go ham.

If you're here to call me a cheater, don't bother. I'm just not much of a grinder.

Nah... you can have a save file transfer but I don't think anyone yet has unlocked all of them. TBH the only WoL that had significant value is the "Aide to Kings", the highest tier ones and the rest are pretty much just titles.

I know that Flying General gives you a higher chance to be elected as Marshal. Same for the intellect Ways of Life.

You don't really carry over your acquired WoL in your new playthrough, unless that CAW is an NPC.

If you want a fast marshal uprank, just Join Battles as a Free Officer with the Ruler in your joining side as a participant. If the Ruler NPC notices you after your 500 kills, you'd either be offered a Marshal Rank or a Prefect (if that kingdom's hadn't any).

That or complete a chain quest as a Free Officer.

This, and I'm pretty sure that you can also be promoted to a Marshal if you complete mostly battle-focused objectives (such as winning an Invasion or performing a successful Raid) as a Prefect (while Strategist needs mostly strategic/political objectives, such as successfully spreading rumors or successfully forming alliances/making supply requests).

But yeah, only Famous Officers/Normal Officers/custom characters that are NPCs in a scenario will have their default/set Way of Life, while the character you use for a scenario ALWAYS starts off with Ordinary Man, regardless of their default/set WoL.

Ive been working on unlocking all ways of life available. some are quite difficult. others aren't that hard. Due to how the tier system works i've been able to unlock at least three to four WOL per scenario. It would be nice to have a cheat code for this but well i guess . hard work is hard.

Only real advice I could give you would be to use a trainer or something, but then you wouldn't be doing it legit, would you?

I meant a trainer that gives you money, XP, etc. Might make it easier to grind.

I've got them all. It is time consuming, but not as much as you might think if you play it well. You can predefine a route to get most of them in one go. You can also have multiple saves to get more than one way of life in a tier for a single playthrough.

All in all, it is a nice and complex puzzle, and since I love the game to death, I really liked getting that achievement, as well as all the others (except the 10,000 stratagem kills, that's just dumb)

Pretty sure the stratagem achievement doesn't have to be done in one playthrough. Just have to get 10,000 total stratagem K.O.s within your entire play time. But yeah, it's annoying how long it takes, since stratagems don't seem to get a good number of K.O.s even on the highest spawn settings.

You are indeed right, but it still took me about 5 playthroughs of spamming Explosions every chance I got... That's one thing I love about this game, the achievements are all very fun to get, very challenging, except this one which is just tedious.
