2nd SA. I somehow managed to get my Legendary kicked off just as I finished LVL4. On first SA I kept IACB, IACB, ISAC. I suffered from no money. As I await my Bonus Money Boost to upgrade to Legendary, I am in the same boat. As you can tell, I went with LBMB. After first SA, I did not get a BMB or TMB until AFTER ascending and hitting Scandinavia. (Well over 100 digs). I contemplated AV, but that doesn't help you at the beginning of the game when you want to upgrade Camps quickly, especially to maximize SAC and increase caches as well. (I also seemed to run out of mercs when playing an Epic AV). Anyway, I expect this round to go faster since I'll have a money boost way much sooner. On a side note, I did not upgrade any resources except for Mine Discount, I'm finishing maps before I can smelt/craft to complete the tree, sometimes only 25% (I get held up on when the item is not in the market.) BTW, ISAC gets army caches boosted to over double when activated. I've learned to play caches accordingly. War On!

El Hombre, a Leg AV definitely helps at the beginning because resource caches often have alloys - especially with a RCB. Just not as much help later with the market strategy. Doing the later levels without a leg AV is a big drag. But having an IA$B would make up for that a little.

I only had Legendary artifacts until my 20th SA or so, then got the IA$B as my first. You must have spent a good amount of time digging...

7 more Sascs and I will have +1000% AP then think I will start going for 100 AP bonuses. What do you guys think?

Not exactly sure on the numbers but starting with Joint Strike and 100% Increased Army Camp Production are nice. The Additional Merc early I guess help but I don't feel them as much.

Everyone progress seem to at some point switch to +100 AP and switch back to +.25%. I guess it more the question is it the start of the game slowing me down or the end of the game costing me the most time.

One more soupy soup for ChillHouz. 42 times total now. +875% AP and 9 artifacts IACB ISAC IA$B I$B ITW IAV IIM IDB and LHB. 5 more Sascs and I will have +1000% AP then I will start going for +100 AP bonuses. And yes Mindoro I am very looking forward to doing Huery’s castle with joint strike I can’t wait

23rd SA. +art for 275% AP and 12 addl artis.

300 / 100 / 45 / 44 / 37 / 25 / 38 / 24 / 18 / 19
19 / 18 / 14 / 14 / 17 / 16 / 11 / 10 / 8 / 9
8 / 10 / 9

In maybe 1 or 2 more ap increases I can skip EH and never ascend at all, just super. Wild.

No clue what my next leg artifacts will be - let's see what turns up.

Ins A$B leg AV SAC IM TW ACB MD and epic HB

I have super-ascended ten more times (now 170).

Total boons:
* +4600 AP at startup (+10)
* +2100% AP from levels
* +30 artifact carryover
* +10 artifact dig speed

Artifacts carried over:

Insane (5): A$B, A^B,  CB, MeD, RCB
Insane (5):  TW,  IM,  AV, SAC, MCB
Insane (5):  HB, TMB, BMB,  DB, ACD
Insane (3):  IV,  OV, HD^u

MiD (3): legend, rare, uncomm
 MB (1): epic^u, none
 MR (2):   epic, rare^u
 TD (2): rare^d, uncomm

Epic (1): HD^s
Unco (2): {SC,TW}^?
Comm (1): IT^?

^f:fodder, ^u:upgrade
^s:spare, ^d:downgrade

Highlights:
* now getting CSL2 a bit sooner than before
* replaced FE and K-PX runs with Pelo War
* this means fewer mercs on Sengoku and HFL
* compensating with L3 hospitals on Sengoku
* picked Hospital Discount as my latest insane

Another Sasc for ChillHouz. 43 times total now. +900% AP and 9 artifacts IACB ISAC IA$B I$B ITW IAV IIM IDB and LHB. 4 more Sascs and I will have +1000% AP then I will start going for +100 AP bonuses.

8 / 10 / 9 / 8

Sucks trashing a rare worth of uncommons but waiting to upgrade is a slower pace than the free ones you get each super so mathematically the right choice is to trash.

I didn't ascend this time so next time I avoid EH and thus the need to use TS on it.

> I didn't ascend this time so next time I avoid EH and thus the need to use TS on it.

You were still using a TS on EH? From my notes I stopped using a TS on EH once I had Insane A$B and a Rare+ MD, or just an Insane A$B and the CW boosts (which are even stronger now). That also lets you move HCCC to the very end when it's trivial and you no longer care about burning a SAC arti on it (which you can immediately unequip by SAing).

Second SA a few days ago.

insane $B, insane A^B in progress
legendary TW, legendary AV in progress

Just hit 8

+5 Arts
+75% AP

Ins- AV, A$B, TW
Leg- A^B, HB, MD
Plus one piece of fodder (Rare)

@fancy was that after you had a decent CB though? I don't go to 150% AM anymore but my score screen clearly tells me I'd run out of mercs if I didn't TS. An hour or so worth of drafting to make it.

I did indeed have a Legendary CB for that as well, looking back I picked one up quite early and always kept a CB since then (although I did churn it at least once). I was only doing 135% AM at that time as well, but keep in mind the net benefit of that Epic TS on the 421B territory is significantly less than the face value. The real delta is 421B * (0.75 - (0.2 * 0.75)) or "only" ~252.6B. That's not counting hospitals because I forget how they factor in, but that's a relatively small matter.

I will say I did fail in my attempt to drop the TS from EH a number of times (and saddling myself with drafting out) before eventually landing a success.

You should really get yourself a CB already.

Another Sasc for ChillHouz. 44 times total now. Decided to take a detour from my quest for +1000% AP because there was a bundle for artifacts and I couldn’t resist so decided to go for a legendary resource cache boost. As it stands now I am at +900% AP and 10 artifacts IACB ISAC IA$B I$B ITW IAV IIM IDB LHB LR$B. 4 more Sascs and I will have +1000% AP then I will start going for +100 AP bonuses.

That's a good point about it being less good than it appears because of js and hospitals. My numbers still don't support it but by a much narrower margin. Thanks for the tip.

I'd keep a CB if I ever saw one - haven't dug one in at least half a dozen supers, maybe a full dozen at this point. Probably keep it at L because I think my next I is A^B but I could be persuaded
