I did this with permanent summons and this loop. Also playing the magic faction so that I could grab more spells. It is absurd.

I actually already figured this exploit out a long time ago. Was using decay when I found the mage tower and realize how OP it was when combined with some of the other spells. Literally traded in thousands of troops and I did gain unlimited power. That hero was a walking nightmare, it could decimate any other army WITHOUT its own army. There was absolutely no stopping her lol.

What mage tower? Has it been removed?

[@keaganferracane6536]

@@magiklok No, it's not removed although it's very hard to find the "Tower of Mages" on any map it's pretty rare. If you find one though; as demonstrated in this video you can trade in massive amounts of troops in order to gain very large amounts of spell power. Combine that with the perk "Mysticism" and watch your power grow. Kinda the reason I clicked on this video as I was wondering if he found a different way or did it the same, and he did the same thing as I did. So if you have trouble figuring this out just do what he does.
