Resurrect hero in Ironman mode: Normally, a death in Ironman mode is permanent. Use
the following steps to resurrect your hero in v1.0 of the game.
Create a backup of the saved game folder while your hero is alive.
This data becomes invalid when your hero dies. When this happens,
exit the game and restore your backed up saved game data. Note:
This procedure involves editing a registry value; do not attempt
this if you are not familiar with working with your system registry,
as a mistake can cause serious problems with Windows. Start Regedit
and use the "Registry/Export Registry File" menu option
to create a backup copy of your original registry.Make the following
changes to your registry.
Start the game, and if done correctly, you will be able to select
your hero again.
Hint: Easy items, crowns and experience
points: Use the map editor to create a medium map, preferably
large enough to put the mines building and shops,
yet still have a decent area for the enemy player. Place some
mines for the resources (minimum one for each type) and a number
of shops. Place some buildings of the race you want to use. Isolate
a section of the map, for example, a corner using water or another
obstruction. Set the other player's
starting position there. Yours will be located near the mines
and shops. Save the map.
Go to Skirmish mode and choose the map you just created.
You can use your hero to convert the mines and buildings. Gather
resources and go to each shop. Choose
to purchase the most expensive item. The more expensive the item,
the more crowns you can get by selling it at the campaign outfitter.
If you also want experience points, make sure your enemies are
in a same team, then build up a flyer or siege engine to destroy
them when you are ready. To max out the crown, leave the item
you want to use in your stash in the campaign.
Create a big map. Place mines, shops
(to increase the chance of getting good items,
and thus sold for a lot of crowns in the campaign),
and buildings of the race you would like to use. Choose a secluded
corner and isolate it from the rest of the map using debris or
water. Set your starting location near the buildings and mines
so you can convert them as soon as the game starts. Place the
enemies starting location in the secluded corner. Save the map
and start a Skirmish mode game. For easier game play and maximum
rewards, set the army point to 50
and your enemies on the same team.
Use your army points to purchase some ranged troops because your
enemies can send out flying units. The rest will be used to purchase
peasants to work in the mines. As soon as the game starts, convert
the buildings and mines to earn resources.
Go to the shops and purchase the most expensive items.
The more expensive the tiems, the more crowns you can get. After
you have filled up all available slots, build flying units to
destroy your enemies at your leisure. You should get good experience
points after the game ends. If you want to earn crown, sell the
items at the campaign outfitter. To earn as much as possible,
leave the item you want to keep in your stash before farming again.
Glitch: Equip any item to any item slot:
This trick allows your hero to equip any item in any
available item slot in his inventory. For example, this allows
you to equip helms in the boot slot or an accessory in the helm
slot. You can also equip multiple identical items. Open the Campaign
for the hero. Open his "Item Stash" to access his inventory.
Click the item you want to replace or replace an item with. Press
[Esc] to close the "Item Stash" window. Open
the "Item Stash" window again. Notice that the item
you clicked is still selected. You can now move that item around
to any of the hero's equipment slots. Click the item you want
the item you chose to replace with. Note: The item slot you want
to replace an item with should have an item equipped beforehand.
For example, if you want to put a helm in the boot slot, you need
to have a pair of boots in the boot slot to be replaced with the
helm. You cannot put items into slots which do not have anything
equipped. Note: Bonuses such as "+ Damage" and "+
Armor" do not take effect if the item is not in its proper
slot, but others such as "% chance to cast" or "+
to command radius" will still take effect.
