I reached constr 12!
 

Well, actually I reached constr 17, but 12 is the only interesting level.

How to get there: You need an insane amount if research (I had about 25000), which you can get from a moded map (Boron's testmap for example). Levels above 9 apparently don't follow the Fibonacci's array, so I don't know exactly how much research you need. It won't work once you have reached constr 9 and it says completed, so it's not possible in MP.

What you get: You can forge all those non-forgable unique items such as hammer of the cyclops, crown of katafagus, sun shield etc.

I'm not following; what does the map have to do with the reaserch level you can attain?

Report as bug? ;)

Map - nothing. But you want to place lots of researchers on the map. You're not going to spend hours recruiting them, are you?

Re: I reached constr 12!
 

I think he modded the map in such a way that he got a very large amount of research in one turn. So much that he went from lvl 1 to lvl 17 in one turn. Or at least enough to go from lvl 8 to lvl 10 in one go, preventing the game from locking the research path out.

Re: I reached constr 12!
 

Exactly. Except, you have to go from lvl 8 to lvl 12 in one turn, because research paths will lock out on the turn you get more research than 4600, whatever level you reached.

haha, lol, great find - and unlikely to be used in MP :)

Re: I reached constr 12!
 

ah.

Re: I reached constr 12!
 

So, did you find any new ones? Is there a hidden One Ring in the game, or anything similar? ;)

Re: I reached constr 12!
 

Well, you can forge precious.
