@riskboy88- They do. Good luck getting auto-mortar to be useful in one, though.

@Z- no word yet but Hardened Scandanavia is going faster than I originally predicted (though I gotta say, it feels really slow. Not surprising, just a very different feel to the game, like it's moving at the pace of my first runthrough or two) and I should have word later today or early tomorrow.

To add to the pricing oddities, there's a mine in Hardened Scandanavia that's way cheaper than those around it- Herobbing was 50-something million for it's first upgrade when the ones around it are over a billion. I wonder if these things are intentional or if some values didn't get scaled up properly when everything was changed for the hardened levels. There are normal levels with pricing discrepancies like that (mines that are significantly cheaper than ones with lower value ores), but nothing that extreme.

Confirmed: "You received a permanent 4th artifact slot for active artifacts!"

Nice way to make active artifacts more valuable.

Going for Far Land next. Guessing it gives some kind of Ore benefit and I want to build up a bit more before I go after the later hardened levels.

Confirmed: "You received a permanent 4th artifact slot for active artifacts!"

Double nice!

Nice #1 - This will revive Active artifacts at least to bring them back into the mix beyond what they are now, which is useful only in specific scenarios (early level SAC, huge neutral QS, etc). I might even upgrade a few Actives to Epic now.

Nice #2 - This was one of my suggestions! (; Not saying he did it cuz I said it. And actually lots of others said the same thing. And actually my suggestion was have 3 slots for Passives, 3 for Actives, 3 for Functionals (the ones which only have benefit when you do an action, so swap them in, do something, then swap out) - so this is part of my recommendation? So I partially contributed. -ish?

lol

Aw yeah!!!

Updating first post

It is indeed an ore benefit: "You received a mine doubler! One of your mines will now permanently give twice as much ore. You can switch which mine is doubled at any time."

On to Old Town. Assuming it will boost my super camp, as krinid pointed out.

Other Changes
– Idle: The game now keeps track of your fastest time-to-completion of each level and shows you these numbers on the Level Stats dialog.

Where is Level Stats dialog?

You can find it on your advancements tab, if you have the required level of the Statistics advancement you can find a Level Stats button under the Reset AP button.

EDIT: The required level is level 4 (which is the max)

it's level 4

Going to post the location of the multi-level in Pelponnesian tommorow for people who wants it. I am about to finish K-PX in my alt, and the location of the multi-level there is in RC9-Gaizun and requires 18.07M armies to conquer.

Edited 8/12/2021 11:29:17

it's to the north

Has anyone done Hardened Copper Creek Castle yet? Have I missed it?

Not yet.

I finished Hardened Copper Creek yesterday. Legendary Triple Strike, baby!

that is what it gives? if not, then what does it give?

Do we think it’s always Triple Strike or is it a random Legendary artifact? That’s high stakes RNG I’m not sure I’m ready for that. Would suck to double up on a Legendary you have already.

It sounds like it is always Triple Strike. Krinid referenced multiple people getting it.

Looking at the list of unknown bonuses:

Old Town - Super Armies - ??? (Increase Supercamp??)

Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire - Gladiator - ​??? (Increase Arena Awards??)

China - Molification - ???

Triskelion - Protection - ???

Europe Huge - Updater - ???


I think Protection is a permanent reduction in attack size in WZIB

Yes, everyone so far has gotten Leg TS.
