guess I forgot about noting it here - but did my 1st super assend little over a week ago maybe two idk

Added Lefty's name.

@Gincompetent
I took an insane army camp boost and legendary alloy values my first super ascension. The time it took me to super ascend again was almost exactly the same as another player who took an insane alloy values and rare supercharge army camp.

It kind of makes sense. Assuming you both played the same amount (unknown), you both had AV, and for the other arti, both AcampB and SAC kind of serve the same purpose, increasing your opening SAC+FC bursts. Neither is truly good for anything else - marginal gains within a level, but ACB can be offset by adding IACP Adv, missing SAC can be offset by using powers ... so you were probably both playing the same style just with different offsets for what was missing from your repertoire.

I super ascended twice already so there is more than 15 people. I just forgot this thread existed. I did tech runs on all 17 stages for the achievements so "wasted" a bit of time but it took me 4 weeks (may 1st to may 28th).

Oh wow! Tech run on all new levels! That's impressive.

I did ~8 Tech Runs on the new levels, but they reeeeeeeeeally take a long time (like an extra 4-7 days per level, b/c of crazy crap like smelt 30k copper on a level with no markets, etc) so I got bored and just SAsc'd ... now I'm back to Hex, getting some Adv's ... might take another crack at the remaining levels.

Impressive that Xeno just ran through them all quickly.

Also took me about a month to complete the tech trees of the new levels, the last 2 levels before Hex Earth were the most annoying/long but the other ones were doable.

Yep, the XX years wars were awful but there were enough powers in the level to make it not that bad. I went backwards from Hex to Regio.

5/19/2022 2,000 Achievement: Acquire all techs in the Idle level Hex Earth
5/20/2022 2,000 Achievement: Acquire all techs in the Idle level Thirty Years War
5/20/2022 2,000 Achievement: Acquire all techs in the Idle level Seven Years War
...
5/26/2022 2,000 Achievement: Acquire all techs in the Idle level Regio Coquus.

I ended up investing in copper/tin/iron production since it was silly on the lower market less levels. I could have invested in zinc production but I think only 30y war required an obscene amount of it via chromium bars + microchips.

Xeno finally breaks down and invests in Copper & Tin Production! haha

I REFUSE !! (well . . .)

Iron was really good at least since on the 1st few levels all my income was basically SM + FC generated a ton of iron bars which I sold the surplus and funded all my mines upgrades. There was 1 level (think it was expedition) were SM+MR was enough to buy all those overpriced mercs which was hilariously unexpected.

Haha but yes I just broke down for copper/tin and made it so the bottleneck was smelting time and not ore production time for the 20,000 to 70,000 bars that were usually needed. This way there was not a second lost when smelting during the single SP TW that I used. A simultaneous level with hard trisk with 1 territory left donated all the TW/FC/SM that were not provided by the level itself lol. I also used 7y and 30y war to provide powers at the start since I'm sure I will never ever do those levels again.

I did 7yw and 30yw twice each ... and 7yw in particular was sooooo obnoxious.

The bonuses are so spread out and so many territories, difficult to even understand what's in the bonus. The territory list is so long that it doesn't populate properly, and can't tell what's not captured yet, etc. Don't think I'll play them again either.

AP Hex Earth

35.9K!

what % AP bonus from SAsc you have now?

+325%? assuming +25% AP Adv, so 12x +25% AP bonus?

Can you re-SAsv now w/o having to Asc between SAsc's?

That is 225% increased AP so most likely 200% and the 25% from advancements.

200% SAsc , 25% Adv

Ascend, play hardened levels or Netherlands-> Plateau Assault -> Hex Earth

@here what artifacts and advancements did u use to clear the level that quickly (with 99% of stuff coming from caches, I assume u used Insane cache boost artifacts for both money and armies)? Any powers required? (100+ of a single type of power on a single level sounds really crazy, but I guess that’s actly necessary since powers are not renewable)

@here in future you might be able to do those 1340 +100 start ap super ascensions to beat the game. At your speed it actually seems realistic because a super ascension will only take minutes and at some point seconds to do.

Tbh, if that option were 1000 AP, I still wouldn't choose it

100 AP is a total non-starter

I'm betting no one has, kind of feels like trading in your house, car and all your belongings and household items (but you get to keep 2 items, like maybe a butcher's knife, a blender, a toaster, a rice cooker...) for a whopping $100 (100 AP)

Well I said in the future, at the point where you can do a SAsc like every hour. If you then grind enough (1340h is still insane) you might be able to do it.
