Current stats 170% army camp (plus 80% from artifact), max joint strike, max auto conquer, 30% auto upgrade, a few minor upgrades that i shouldn't have made, and a couple of poor passive artifacts that probably don't do much

i can beat a couple levels after it but i can't beat K-PX. what upgrade am i missing?

edit: i would lose at 8d17h before the camp artifact and now lose at 9d2h with it. it seems like i need to more quickly conquer the area north of the starting point but i'm really surprised the upgrading i've done isn't enough to win this level but can beat the next couple subsequent levels so quickly.

That should be ample to beat the level, thd next ones are more difficult for me. It takes me about a day to beat that one and I have significantly less army camp. Where are you stuck? I try to aim for the leftmost hospital early on, that gives me the northern part of the map pretty much for free.

i'm talking about the challenges, not the regular games. i'm up to far land on the regular idle.

sorry for not being clear.

The last update made the challenges way too difficult to beat. My style is to gain from challenges more AP than I put into.
I spent ~130 AP unlocking autoconquer a few months ago, then struggled to beat the first level - managed to win at 140% army camps I think. The second level remained unbeatable at 5% autoconquer.
Found out from the forums that autoupgrade allows one to win many levels, spent ~690 AP and won another 11 games, skipping K-PX.
Later, won a skipped level, bringing the total to 13 challenges won.
Decided to increase autoconquer, but in the meantime the game was updated. Now, with 180% army camps, max joint strike, 15% autoconquer and 5% autoupgrade I can win only the first 5 challenges plus Far Land, but a new player won't have that level available.
Rather than spending AP on auto-advancements, I decided to spend on advancements useful for the levels, until I can win another challenge, then the 100AP will go towards 10% autoupgrade.

Jon, you spent 940+ AP maxing out autoconquer, and way more than that for 30% autoupgrade. Challenges paid back maybe half of what you invested. Unless you use automation for the levels and/or battles, I would work on increasing army camp income.

this was written before the update so i'd beaten all but 4 of the challenge levels by that point, so i came out ahead. i have no reason to try to win the other 4 anytime soon since the best strategy for beating levels now is different than it was before the update.

last main level i played was 300 AP and i beat it in 5 days (though surprisingly i did not have insomnia so there were 5 six hour gaps where i did nothing), which was my best AP/day since i started playing. i'm gonna put some AP from the next level into a few random upgrades to see which one seems to work best though haha.
