so I’ve been sat here for 2 whole hours grinding XP for the first challenge to unlock Mexico, and i have nearly 100,000 XP and am still level 4, when i need to get to level 5 to beat the challenge. Does anybody have any idea whats going on?
UPDATE : just reached 100,000 XP, still level 4
there are no challenges to unlock the faction.
did you ever solve this? thanks
Hey!
Have you tried re-launching the game and trying again?
The first challenge should allow you to “check” the level of your Home City - if not, then you will be able to play match by selecting “begin” and in that case, the challenge should unlock by completing the match (you can just resign in a skirmish).
If that still is not working, you can try gaining a level in a Skirmish. Using the cheat “Nova & Orion” will grant some XP, as well as building most military or having best economy.
My next suggestion would be to enable Cloud Saving, make a copy of you Aztec Home City .xml file from
C:\Users<user>\Games\Age of Empires 3 DE<0000000000>\Savegame
then delete the original and launch the game again to generate a new file. If this does not work, then you can replace the “new” .xml with the copy from earlier.
Hope this helps!
Have you tried resigning or winning that game and starting a new one? You can’t gain more than 3 home city levels per match.
This challenge worked for me on the first try.
I had no problem for this challenge
I also didn’t had any issue with it, but i had the levels from before
I’ll give it a go thanks.
i’ve tried playing direct from the challenge and in a standard skirmish game, aztec home city stays on level 1 and won’t go above 4 during the game, pretty frustrating.
Read my post above. Also, cheat codes are usually not permitted to complete the challenge.
i’ve won multiple ones
