 A higher score. Close to 37800 points. Have played a conquest after this. All I can say is Scordisci can go to hell. Figured they were the reason I can't break past 15 turns. |

I know a trick to increase your points by decrease your number of generals. You need to use Non-Commander or IAPs gens for this trick. Right before finishing conquest, you dimiss all of used generals (dismiss generals, not General-units in your conquest) and the number of used generals in current conquest will be 0.  That's how I get 3 stars in Augustus Conquest with 1st time try. |

Wait, are you serious? Is this as intended mechanic or a bug? Let me try it out |

 A few more and I'll reach 38k points. yuanzhong, I tried the disband trick, but it didn't seem to work. Although, the one where I got 37700 points was when my Antony died. Needs more confirmation |

Dismiss like this  Not disband like this  To prevent this trick in fast conquest contest, pictures of every 5 or 10 turns (of main force direction) are need to confirm. |

Of course you need to rebuy and retrain them, you also lose all scrolls spent for them but only if you want to keep that result to earn Banner (like me, need to dismiss 2 gens to get rank III in Augustust conquest because I don't have time to grind conquest for several times to reach rank III). If you only want high score on Score board, you can save before you dismiss generals, finish the conquest and load old data, you will keep your generals and your new record. |

It actually works. Although one thing I noticed when I had more generals was my allies become more stupid. Maybe it's a one time thing, but for some reason my allies keep losing cities with more gens. But about if it's allowed or not, I guess it's allowed for scoring, but not for turn count. Reasoning is that scores aren't the main thing we compete for, and it's somewhat random how scores work(to be more precise it has a lot more factors we don't know of, or have an inaccurate understanding of). And although the penalty for having more generals pretty much becomes void, we can only use 8 gens maximum anyway, and enemies become more defensive with more generals around,so it may not be as simple and one sided as it seems. Also, you have to keep loading your save, or else you lose everything,and incidents similar to dsongop may happen. For turn count, it's for the no generals conquest. If you get 8 turns in Carthage with 0 generals, it's obviously really suspicious. It removes the point of the record, doesn't it? Thanks yuanzhong, now we have to look at more screenshots for 0 general conquests |

Thanksย yuanzhong, now we have to look at more screenshots for 0 general conquests This trick also affects turn count contest. Example you can use Anthony, dismiss then rebuy him and put him into another unit to get advantage from his March to capture cities or increase force movement, repeat this again and again. Every Cav units become Anthony and every Infantry units become Pompey or Crassus. Only thing you need is free medals enough to cover the lost from dismissing and rebuying generals. This trick also can be used with movement item swap trick that's impossible in normal. I think I make the conquest record contest more complicated when giving this trick  |

Thanks yuanzhong , now we have to look at more screenshots for 0 general conquests This trick also affects turn count contest. Example you can use Anthony, dismiss then rebuy him and put him into another unit to get advantage from his March, repeat this again and again. Every Cav units become Anthony and every Infantry units become Pompey or Crassus. Well, time to take notice of turn counts then . Although, the general won't be as effective since lesser damage, but it only works when you have a lot of medals, and all your level up for the skills will be lost, so less effectiveness. But it's still neat. But we won't accept that, since it's just taking advantage of an unintended mechanic . |

Absolutely theoretical. I can't imagine someone loosing all his skills upgrades with his gens in order to have a record. That's absolutely enourmous amount of medals. Don't think someone will be so crazy |

There is no fun it  And this records competition is for fun - about working out better strategy normally. If someone new only, but we are anyway suspicious about someone new |
