How many skips do you have Math? That's 30 skips to get to Regio, and 16 more to get to Hex.

I have 5 skip levels lmao

Yea I know. (;

B/c it's difficult to get more than 5, b/c you don't get them in raffles, wheel spins or daily rewards, and we all know about the 5 collection limit.

So that brings you to Copper Creek, with 0 Advancements and max 3 artifacts. Then what? (; lol

I think here's method _is_ the "rush" approach to get to the new levels. And b/c of this post, it'll likely already be nerfed by the time you get there. Not dissimilar to a post I made waaaay back in early beta about how easy United States was, and sure enough it was nerfed in the next update.

Speaking of ...

@here
How close are you to getting another 100K AP in phase 4 and doing a 2nd SAsc?

Edited 12/24/2021 21:49:58

enough 100k AP for phase 4
I will do a 2nd SAsc

lol, Fizzer needs to implement mega-ascend if you continue with this speed, here

@krinid, you get to Far Land with 5 skip level powers, cause you need to beat Hardened Ursa Luna first to have superpowers (which is not that bad cause Far Land and Hardened Far Land are relatively easy to play with Leg TS)

@Olja, You're right, forgot about having to actually re-get Superpowers first.

@here, Did you notify him before or after abusing it to get your own Insane? (; lol ... Does it have something to do with the Epic reward from Hard Scand? Or is there some odd dig site with high Epic %?

@here 1.6k armies per second... Are there no army camps?

I can't figure out how to beat the level. Still stuck in South America.

---->1 ----> 2 (upgrade gislis L11, purchase mercenary) use supercharge army camp + 2 or 3 free cache ----> 3 ---->4 (purchase mercenary) -->5

Thanks, I was able to beat it but burning inspire mercenaries at a non-sustainable rate. My first attempt I used 11 and the second attempt took seven.

Some notes, only one army camp, and it's not cheesed. The early hospitals only give 1 million, and the cost to upgrade most of them gets quite high. There are only five army caches in the entire map. They are quite powerful. Unfortunately, I don't have the artifact to exploit them yet.

The fat mercenary camp is in the lower portion of Greenland, Bonus: Southern Sermersooq, Territory: Snow. If you can superpower inspire mercenary the level is practically beat.

The biggest territory is in Korea, Bonus: Primorsky, Territory: Vyazemsky 737 billion armies.

All the arenas I checked seem to suck.

Even with a legendary alloy values artifact the markets don't pay out well enough to get you to the next market.

Given the single army camp I don't know if it will ever be practical to beat the level without at least a couple inspire mercenary powers. So long-term getting the inspire mercenaries card high will probably be needed to not spend coins after the powers are depleted.

Update: I was able to get my use of inspire mercenaries down to two even without Increased Cache Armies, it's probably possible to beat the game in a decent time on your first run using just two IM's. Unfortunately, even with the increased cache armies I still was not able to get it under two, and I don't see a path to beat it in a reasonable timeframe without at least one.

I use 1 inspire mercenaries power
I'm upgrading leg inspire mercenaries to use in new levels

IM artifact would be better if the % was always of the original camp size.

So if you have 24% and hit a camp 4 times, if you got 96% of the armies that were originally there, instead of 24%, then 18.24%, 13.86%m 10.53% for a vastly reduced total of 66.7% that it gives now.

Leg @ 48% makes it better ... but even with two hits, it's only 73% instead of 96%.

If you can get it to Insane @ 96%, that will be a force to reckon with though, can buy the 4% yourself and drain the 1st 96% in an instant.

Leg TS + Leg IM could be an interesting combo.

I only hit 1 time, if hit multiple times, it takes a lot of time for 1 level

How does Army Cache (the active artifact) stack up against Inspire Mercs and Triple Strike? I’ve just always assumed AC and IM were worse versions of TS, albeit much more flexible.

If you have perfect knowledge of the maps then TS has to return more armies per usage, right?

Never even considered any of the active cache artifacts seriously b/c even a full cache returns so little value.

Money, resource & army caches almost always return nominal benefits, even if you have the appropriate resource buff artifact equipped. The ones on the map can give some decent benefits, but the power & artifacts pale in comparison.

To get any benefit from the army resource cache artifact, you need to first cast the SAC artifact or use a SAC power. But under the same conditions, I bet you're still going to get a better result from just doing a Clan Request and not have to waste an additional artifact slot & cooldown. It may take some time, but the reward will be legit better. Or I suppose you could do both and likely get ~1.8x the benefit (I think Clan Req will still be bigger but I've never had a 320% Leg or 640% Insane Army Cache to compare to - those could be game changers).

As for TS ... even without map knowledge, you can be effective with it, as long as you're not rushing to clear the map. I'm doing Hard Trisk right now, and all I'm doing it clearing the biggest territory in sight, casting SAC artifact, snagging Daily Reward & doing a Clan Req if they're not on cooldown, start a new dig if necessary, cast TW, clear as many territories as I can with the resulting units from TS, purposely leaving the biggest territories. While I do know the level, I'm basically just frolicking around looking for big territories, and on the way to them, grabbing the markets & hospitals on the way. At 11.5 days, I'm about 40% done now (territory count) but realistically about 80% done b/c I have 6 markets & 13 hospitals now.
