Description
Due to the lack of people playing Avatar Conquest, it is almost impossible to progress. Whether your intentions are to obtain achievements or get up to speed with experienced players, using this guide you will be able to set up a game vs the AI that grants experience points and progression. No mods are required and it is fairly simple to do.

How to
The first thing you'll want to do is go to your Conquest Map and move your avatar's army onto the province you intend to battle for.

Then select Battle List and Host Battle. Create a game name and add a password to prevent others from joining your lobby - If your intentions are to progress with the Avatar Conquest campaign, make sure "Classic Battles" is not ticked.

Once on the Multiplayer Battle screen, follow these steps:
  • Remove all pre-existing player/AI slots
  • Add three players to your team
  • Add three players to the opposing team
  • Add an AI player to the opposing team
  • Modify either army to your liking but make sure the enemy AI has at least four armies
  • Change the battle difficulty setting to Hard, then Easy, then Normal
  • Play out the battle ensuring it lasts at least two and a half minutes (150 seconds)

You should be granted XP and have conquered the province on the Conquest Map.

Rinse and repeat the process to continue farming.
Achievements
The achievements that this process helps attain are:
  • Carve a Path
    Capture 15 provinces on the avatar campaign map.

Has anyone gotten this to work in naval battles? Works with all land (siege included) so far!

Heh, I thought it wasn't possible, I'm gonna have to try this, because, like you said it's hard to get opponents nowadays. I almost conquered all of japan a few years ago, by fighting against others, then somehow my avatar got deleted and had to start from scratch.
