So, you've climbed the ladder by a few ranks and now you've noticed that the next level will take up to 2000xp to complete, while you only get ~40xp per 20 min match? And the next rank will require even more xp to grind? duuuh

Well, this guide is the best "legal" solution for you!

Basically this little exploit is about saving the game right the moment before you win, and then you continue, win, skip statistic screen and then reload that save file and repeat this process over and over again.

Seems easy, right? Just rush the Very Easy AI and save the game before crushing their base?

NO, not really. You will get much less experience points by doing that. Rushing your opponent is not the best way to level up.

Making the correct save file would be about the max amount of xp you can get from one match. If you check the statistic screen, the biggest XP comes from the time spent, 25 mins of the game would resut in about flat ~60xp, while going for over 40 mins would result in flat 100 xp (and it cannot go any further at this point, its capped). The multipliers are broken, and some things like win streaks doesn't work at all. But units killed and units lost still counts.

So, the best result would be a save file that provides over 100xp per victory.

I've managed to achieve 120 xp mer match, it was ~42 mins game with 95% kills and 5% losses.

All you need to do is to move my save file exp10 to your save folder. Every time you load this save, the rockets salvo fired from Buratino's and Terminator's cannons will destroy the last enemy building.

Move this save file to

And you're good to go. Launch the game (Reboot edition) and go to skirmish - load game - exp10. The game will end within a second and you'll get to the results screen. You will get 120 xp per match.



Now repeat loading this save over and over again until you achieve Rank 20 (And get the achievement). This entire process will take ~15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your current rank and how fast your game loads. I recommend lowering your video settings in game so it loads faster.

For this i recommend:

• Playing on 1vs1 map;
  
• Against Very Easy AI;
  
• You can play with super weapons ON, but remember to not nuke his entire base, you should only use them to destroy his remote outposts, refineries, chokepoints, or when you've messed up and he made an army;
  
• Play as any faction you feel comfortable with;
  
• Remember that the most XP comes from the longer time you play, so don't rush. Some little part of xp also comes from units killed/lost, try to play smart;
  
• Use your phone to start a timer once the game starts, since there is no timer in game. Its important to track time for this;
  
• Rmemeber to save frequently.

At first you'd better capture closest banks and refineries to get those sweet $$$, then slowly build your army and push further, make anti-tank infantry and garrison them to buildings to control the key areas and main roads. The units inside the buildings are hard to kill, they have bigger range, and they can do insane damage if you provide them proper support. Keep expanding your base and build remote outpost with turrets to guard roads and repel incoming aircraft raids. Use snipers to kill enemy infantry in his own banks or garrisoned buildings.

Remember to build Air Control Base and nuke launchers. You can use scout jet to check on enemy base and scan for remote outposts. The Air-to-ground jets and nukes can be used on enemy economy buildings such as refineries or power plant stations/outposts to cripple enemy unit production. Remember to not destroy enemy base just yet. If you experience struggle against enemy banks, you can just nuke or launch mortars on them and completely destroy the building. Either way enemy will lose money flow and strategic point.

At some point you will surround enemy base, and now you can order your units to hold fire and use like 3-4 end-game tanks to destroy buildings near HQ.
In my savefile i've managed to capture enemy HQ but the game didn't end because of Air Control Base is still standing.

Now the enemy completely stops producting units and the game doesn't end. Basically now you keep AI hostage.

If you followed my advice and kept tracking the time via phone timer, you can save the game on ~40 min and then finish the game. Then you can reload and make another save/clone save right the second before the game ends to speed-up reloading process.

GG, now make your way to Colonel rank.

After reaching rank 20, There is basically no point in leveling any further, there is no rewards or any leaderboard that keeps track of it. Now you can keep playing this game just for your own entertainment.
