Starting a level I switch out every time anything would help. Once I make it to the first markets I can be less carful. For the majority of the clicking I use Army Cache Boost, Cache Boost, and Hospital Boost. I don't run any actives for clearing levels (I use them in battles and at the end of a super).

@Ivan, what is your clear pattern? What levels do you play, what AP do you select, on your way to re-SAsc

You're on fire, on about 1/day, sometimes more

use tw before super

Total AP Spent, Increased Army Camp Production, Increased Cache Money, Joint Strike, Additional Mercenaries, Better Hospitals, Increased Cache Armies

Not quite to one a day yet, my fastest super time was 26.36 hours, average of last 10 = 30.84

I think the biggest problem with the game in its current form is that the more advanced you get, the fewer features you use.

First you stop smelting. Then you stop crafting. Then you stop upgrading or using army camps. Around this point you super ascend for the first time but you’re just getting started.

Ivan is now at the point where he doesn’t dig, he doesn’t play 3/4 of the levels so he doesn’t have to upgrade hospitals or worry about tech trees, and he doesn’t use active artifacts other than a blatant abuse of the cooldown + super ascension rules.

At this point, the game is basically just merc camps, army caches (other caches don’t matter) and blank territories, some of which have meaningless symbols on them.

You’ve got to respect the ingenuity of the double TW though, it took me a while to understand how that works

7th super ascension, 31 days, +125% AP, 4 slots

4th super ascension, 62 days. 3 slots and 100AP.
Insane TW, AV and Leg. Army Camp Boost, Army Cache Boost, Superchage Army Camp

You took +100 start AP on your 4th SAsc??? Why would you do that?

Took it first b4 I knew what I was doing. Still recovering from that bad decision. :)

@TheGreatLeon
What's better than double TW? Triple TW & double IM & double QS! (; This way you always have at least 1 TW, 1 IM, 1 QS guaranteed to be waiting to be used after a SAsc

Double TW?

What's TW?

85th super +1250%ap, 27 slots, 1 dig speed, 900 start ap

I think I got the double time warp way too early. It doesn't do me any good in battles until I have Auto upgrade Army Camps. I'm thinking of my next insane being resource cache boost, what do you think?

Insane Resource Cache Boost is 320% which sounds great, but in practice only helps you if you are getting Techs, and it depends on how you clear the level, if you use AQ or AAQ to clear the level and you also use 1+ of TW/IM/QS/TS then you probably don't have enough slots to use HB, Cache boost, AcacheB all equipped at once and still have a spot left for RCB

But if you're capturing manually, you can swap it in/out, but more often than not I find myself with lots of X,Y,Z (might be copper, iron, nickel, might be ore, might be bars, might be nails or screws, etc) but I need A,B,C (some other stuff) for Techs. There are times when it came in handy by chance for Techs

I see you have only Rare Cache Boost tho, I'd recommend to pump that up to Insane, get more benefit for what imho matter more which is AcacheB & MCB (notably on post-EH levels, Regio to Hex)

Actually I see you only have Leg Merc Discount & HB ... MD is super useful, 32%->64% is huge, like having double the money (well not exactly presuming you have Merc Disc Adv maxed to 50% but still significant)

I'd say do MD next, maybe not HB for a while since it only goes to 14%

But no IM or QS at all, no Insane TS - each of these will help for Regio to Hex

Agree that it's too soon for you to get the benefit from 2x TW, esp if you're not doing the super active strat (TW, IM, QS, maybe TS, maybe SAC) but it's done now so you're prepared for the future

Would resource cache actually make the slightest difference in your run speed? I mean at this point, as other guy said, the game is pretty simplified for you.

I'm always looking for the next thing to speed me up a little bit. The resource cache boost would help me get going especially on early levels.
I still do everything but craft.

2nd super... took forever but wanted to finish all newer levels with techs
