Need Help Leveling Up Troops? Look no further!

[Hess_]

So, as someone who was very tired of trying to figure out an effective way to level up troops quickly and with low risk, my friend told me to find looters. You need to fight them, but do not actually fight the battle, instead auto-resolve. Now from what I know, this only works on looters for some reason, but the first time I used this trick, I was able to level up 5 troops after 1 battle. On average, I can level up 4-7 troops depending on tier level, and yes higher tiers level up extremely quickly. If you fight larger looter parties lets say like 30-50+, you will get a crazy amount of XP for your troops. Not sure if this is intended, but a very easy way to level up people. As for risks, I have never lost 1 troop to a looter party by using this method, I have only had troops wounded and even those are low in number. Well, have fun being able to level up troops quickly with a low risk of losses.

this was already known, thanks for sharing it anyway though
right now you get a 8x xp bonus for auto resolving battles, this works for all battles but with looters the chances of your own troops dying are a lot smaller than against "normal" armies.
there are already some posts on the forum requesting this bonus gets removed or toned down so this might no longer be viable in the future.

I completely agree with removing the bonus, I would much rather being able to drop into a city, and pay some money to train units over time, since trainer skill is pretty much gone now. "Rent arena to train troops" could be the option.

there is a trainer perk in i think leadership (could be a tactics or steward skill aswell not entirely sure about where it is).

It's a leadership perk, and it's not well designed.

the learder perk to train troops at the moment doesnt work. removing the bonus exp NOW would break the current end game because you wouldnt be able to form armys fast enough.

I totally dislike this simulation xp bonus, or really what i dislike is the small ammount xp you gain when fighting manually. It's almost as if the game was encouraging me to not play the battles, when it should reward me for it, right?

You know, to play autoresolved battles i can play Crusaders Kings, or any Paradox game.
Manual battles is what made Mount and blade such a unique strategy game, so why encourage players to not fight their battles?

true, forgot to mention that part, still i do hope they will fix that soon and remove the buff to simulated battles.

It does actually work, it is just too small in magnitude to make any difference. It adds some piddly amount of XP to each army stack. The amount is so small that it's effects are virtually unnoticeable. There are several perks that appear to be broken when in reality they just suck.

I think simulated battles should grant addition XP , maybe not 8x. They usually have way higher casualties compared to manual fought battles(I haven't had a character with Tactics over 100 yet so maybe it changes)

The XP given to garrisons through fief upgrades seems to be extremely low/bugged as well? if the tooltip is accurate , giving units 1-2-4XP per day per stack is nothing

Simulations against looters are guaranteed 0 deaths 100% of the time you will only get wounded. I dont think XP of simulations need to be nerfed but instead that XP granted on manual battles should be equal to simulations.

oh yeah... Looter fights are definetly not balanced rn , I don't think giving that much XP to manual battles is healthy for the overall balance(though I really don't know what high lvl Tactics do to autobattles)

RN I think the pros and cons of autobattles make sense. If you don't count Looter fight's ofc
