Mass Kill and Battle Streak Achievements

Learn how to achieve Mass Kill and Battle Streak achievements in Songs of Conquest. Discover tips and strategies to dominate your enemies and earn those bragging rights.

Hey there! So you're looking to snag those sweet 'Mass Kill' and 'Battle Streak' achievements in Songs of Conquest? Awesome! These can be a bit tricky, but with the right approach, you'll be racking them up in no time. Think of it as learning to chain your attacks and spells to wipe out entire enemy squads or win multiple tough fights back-to-back. It's all about efficiency and smart unit management.

While this guide doesn't dive into the super specific requirements for each achievement (you'll find those in-game!), it'll give you the foundational knowledge to set yourself up for success. We'll cover general strategies that make these achievements much more achievable.

Gameplay Basics & Strategy

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's touch on some core concepts that will help you achieve those big kill counts and streaks:

• Exploration is Key: Always explore the map! Snagging resources is crucial for boosting your economy, which in turn lets you recruit more powerful units and reinforce your armies faster. Don't forget to capture buildings too – they provide more resources and expand your vision. Remember, if you're not looting, your opponent might be!
• Movement & Secondary Wielders: Increasing your 'Movement' stat is vital. A secondary Wielder can be a game-changer, allowing you to loot areas more quickly and efficiently. If your secondary Wielder handles the looting, your main Wielder can focus on more combat engagements per turn.
• Use the ALT Key: Seriously, use it all the time! Pressing ALT will highlight everything you can interact with on the map. This isn't just for finding loot; it can also reveal items hidden behind environmental objects, giving you a slight edge.
• Have a Plan: Decide early on which units you want to focus on and what research you're aiming for. Concentrating on a few unit types means cheaper research and faster reinforcements for those specific units. However, this also makes you less flexible with spells and unit variety. Don't be afraid to experiment during the early maps of campaigns (Maps 1-3 are usually easier) to figure out what tactics and units you enjoy most. This will help you form a solid plan for the tougher, final maps.

Making the Most of Your Settlements

Understanding how to best utilize your settlements is key to building the armies needed for those mass kills:

Towns

• 7 small building slots
• 3 medium building slots
• 2 large building slots

Large Settlements

• 3 small building slots
• 2 medium building slots
• 1 large building slot

Small Settlements

• 2 small building slot
• 1 medium building slot

When you have empty building slots, consider your current situation:

• Resource Management: If you're short on rare resources, building multiple Markets (up to 5) can be a lifesaver. They improve trade prices, which is essential for unlocking your highest-tier units, making upgrades cheaper and faster, and even enabling them in the first place.
• Unit Reinforcement: If you're struggling to keep your armies topped up, focus on reinforcing one or two unit types and use 'Rally Points' to quickly get more troops.
• Defense: If an enemy is on the move towards your territory, building a Tower is a great idea. They only take one turn to construct and can be incredibly effective at taking down dangerous units like 'Cheluns' or 'Necromancers'. Even if you can't wipe out their entire army, softening them up can make a future battle much easier.

Artifacts: The Unsung Heroes

You'll stumble upon all sorts of Artifacts during your campaigns. Some are fantastic, while others might seem less useful. Don't dismiss a 'bad' artifact too quickly – you can always hold onto it to sell later at an Artifact shop or transfer it to another Wielder. Keep an eye out for artifact sets too! While they aren't enabled in the base campaigns (Arleon, Rana, Loth & Barya), they can be incredibly powerful, especially in the early game. If you can aim for them, go for it!

By keeping these strategies in mind, you'll be well on your way to achieving those impressive Mass Kill and Battle Streak achievements. Good luck out there, Commander!
