That's impressive (I think). Certainly way faster than was possible a few years ago.
I am running about the same pace wise. I started playing the game almost exactly a year ago. In fact, Carnival 2020 was underway when I started. My first city is now in Elementals, so that is a chapter a month.
I posted somewhere when I finished chapters 14 and 15. I believe 15 chapters took about 470 days, while 14 was a bit more than 400. Pretty much all guest races took almost exactly 30 days. PPs wouldn't have helped that much as I was constrained by KP accumulation, and the current tournament setup generally yields less KPs. One can certainly do more in tournaments than I did, especially in the later chapters, to accelerate that part. Still, that would probably need 4-5K tournaments or more, which is not easy if you're rushing through the chapters.
@MinMax Gamer You have my attention now. IS there anything crazy you did to advance so quickly? Say, I push tourneys as much as I can, and just scout and clear provinces at a normal speed. I've looked ahead, and the big thing seems to be KP since research cost so much the higher chapter you're at. Whats your way to get around that, or is there any other way to get KP that's reliable?
Not really. Most of the chapters before 15 are about 2000 KPs worth of research, so you only need to average about 65 KP a day. That's not hard to do playing tournaments weekly. It's much harder to keep that pace with guest race productions. You want to run the right setups, with the best relative ratios so you don't over or underproduce.
Indeed he is sorely missed. No one ran probability sims or calculations like he did.This thread getting revived just reminds us all that this thread had just about the last post by @MinMax Gamer before they disappeared from the forums and the game and their website and their Facebook page for good.
Then you're racing compared to me! I've been in Chapter 17 since late February and I have 7 techs more to go. The reason is, of course, that I wasn't willing to tear up half my city to devote to a guest race. I only have 3 or 4 small ships of each (the SMALL are still BIG!) 1 large ship of each and of course the three main ships. That's nowhere near enough to finish quickly, but it still takes up more than 400 squares of space and I begrudge giving that behemoth more. So I'll probably be here until October ... so that's 7 or 8 months for this chapter, and of course, I practically live here so I'm collecting the one-hour collections. I collect maybe 8x or more a day. I feel sorry for the people who can only be on once or twice a day.
They can’t change the formulas now bc nobody else wants to do the work of reverse engineering the numbers to paint with thin strokes to give us a clear, precise picture of what is happening.
Did you ever have millions of goods? I'm only in ch10 but I want all the millions someday.
I fight almost everything, so I have the millions and millions. On average, I might cater 2 to 4 tournament encounters a week when there is a especially bad lineup of enemy troops. Have not catered in the spire for nearly a year. Not catering much really let me build up stockpiles. But this did not happen for me until the later chapters. When I was in ch 10, I was still catering a good bit. Combat gets MUCH easier as you advance more. In ch 10 you are still missing many of the key unit promotions and several of the military AWs. The final key AW for a fighting strategy is Simia Sapiens (bonus to troop production) at the end of ch 14. The final key 3 star unit promotions are Rangers and Faineant Frogs and those do not happen until ch 15. However there are other military AWs and many unit promotions you will get before these chapters. So take heart, you will get there. Just keep your head down and keep advancing!
