what the...? people are super asc multiple times in less than 2 weeks. how? buying a lot of powers? that's crazy.
Ivan0 is doing the Hex Earth strat, which involves using a few Inspire Merc powers on the Hex Earth map in each super-ascension. I guess that there's no need to actually buy the powers yet. There're plenty of Inspire Merc powers to grab on the maps.
I never played Hex Earth. I super-ascend every 2-3 weeks without using powers. It is achieved just simply following the market strat and getting familiar with the maps. After super-ascending for a few times, with the help of a good AP bonus from super-ascension and the insane army cache boost artifact, market strat works pretty early on. Like starting at Fort Harbor or Reconquest I already have enough mercs to clear the whole map.
Here's my diary of what's happened between my 9th super-ascension (1st Dec) and my 10th super-ascension (19th Dec). The dates are the starting dates of the levels, not the ending dates. A day ends when I sleep (so 2am 5th Dec counts as 4th Dec). In case you wonder why the level time of the last few days became a lot longer, it's due to real life duties related to university semester ending (and also waiting for digs so I can upgrade my army camp boost to legendary).
Probably Ivan0 is doing similar things, but using Hex Earth instead of Hardened Old Town+Hardened Scandinavia to grind AP.
