@ShadowHawk, it's a combination of a few things. Generally each level is divided into two parts: the start before you get to the first market/arena/big money or reso cache to be able to chain-buy all the mercs, and the end, where you're waiting for some combination of armies from camps, hospital upgrades, and drafts.

For later levels, the start is very fast with just insane A$B as you can chain together army caches. For earlier levels, the same is achieved when you get a good enough RCB so that reso caches give more armies via mercs than they cost. This is further accelerated with a good MD.

For later levels, the end is mostly accelerated with more AM (i.e. more %AP, and of course also insane A$B and CB) so that hospital upgrades can be skipped. For early levels where hospital upgrades suck anyway, a good RCB is also nice here since it allows you pump up the camps a lot. This already should be enough to get maps like Floating Rocks and War of the Worlds down to 20-30 minutes (IIRC) even without any starting AP. Another good strat for early levels is to get IDS (increased draft sizes) instead of putting everything to AM, since for levels up to ~Feldmere you can get high enough armies/s to exhaust the whole draft pool in one huge draft, in which case IDS (if over 100%) bypasses the normal 15% draft limit. DB arti also helps with this. I've found that one tick of IDS is roughly equivalent to one tick of AM for many early levels, but the former is cheaper in terms of AP once you have decent AM already.

So RCB and MD already do help a lot for the early levels, and then to get them to under ~10 minutes you'll need a bunch of starting AP as well. However, if the goal is to do SAs as fast as possible, when you still have a bunch of hospital upgrades I think the optimal plan is to do everything you can to get rid of those, as the early levels are quite fast anyway.

Only need a second hospital for a few levels around nobunaga and then Netherlands. Almost enough AP to get phase 4 before going PA/Hex. These updates are coming so fast now I think I'll stop posting each one once I reach 50.

It really is all early game now. Once I finish HFL there's only 1066, HOT, Netherlands, PA, and Hex, all of which is only a day.

Fourth time.

I've upgraded the epic Supercharge Army Camp that I chose as extra artifact last time to legendary and take an epic Hospital Boost as bonus this time.

Did my 22nd SAsc today:

AP+300%
Arti+10 (12 Tot)

Insane: AV, A$B, TW, A^B
Legend: CB, HB, MD, SAC, IM
(RCB is Rare and next scheduled Legend)

Ran a half marathon and took a couple days off. Legendaries are probably cheap enough at this point to upgrade HB permanently.

Damn, I just realized how painfully slow everything is after superascend.

Can do tutorial with auto conquer, but now mostly alternating starting AP and +AP% which still makes a difference. Now only need hospitals on Breaking Green and Hard Scandi. One of those is my TW artifact, so if I want I can use 2 TW for the other - but breaks are good.
