thank you o fetanyl refiner! u pusher of tranquilizing restraints! street-advertising lackey of boss fizzer! o thank you! thank

anyway my laptop isn't alive rn if u want to edit the OP i could use the help

last time i didn't edit the OP for a while some1 mailed me saying that it would be super useful

I did 33 Regio Coquus: https://i.gyazo.com/ee005fdd061f928f36b56cfa926b0d37.png

Was gonna do a bunch more, but just realized that Muli's maps for the new levels are in fact already fully fogbusted versions - so think we're good on the new maps? Or are we redoing these for a specific purpose?

Wow, Regio Coqqus is such a small map for a SAsc level...

Oh, it has no market

Also are SAsc levels just completely different or what? lol

Thanks for the map, krinid. I didnt know that Muli already made unfogged maps for the new levels and https://pkmx.github.io/wzi-levels/ links to fogged maps, too.

Do you happen to have a link to the unfogged versions that you can share?

Yea the SAsc levels typically have very few army camps, mercs are super expensive, some have fewer markets than the norm and aren't as profitable, but large army & money caches and lots of powers

So SAC+FC is garbage b/c you just don't have enough army camp base to get the benefit from nor enough money to upgrade the army camps to a point where they do, nor do they generate enough money to buy a sufficient quantity of mercs

It ends up being a matter of using IMs (power or arti) to get to the army/money caches to be get to the next merc camp and/or caches

Hex Earth for example has only 1 army camp (!) & 5 markets

The summarized version of clearing Hex (2 IM version) is this:
- get 1st army cache
- get 1st money cache, 1st & 2nd merc camps
- buy mercs
- get 2nd money cache
- buy more mercs
- get 2nd army cache
- get 3rd merc camp, use IM*****
- get 4th merc camp, use IM
- get 3rd army cache
- get 4th army cache
- get 5th army cache

***** = The entire key to Hex is figuring out how to best get to the 3rd army cache which is particular large; one you get there, the rest is straight forward to get the 4th & 5th army caches (which are both absolutely gigantic), but getting to that 3rd army cache is tricky

There are also 4 IM, 3 IM, 1 IM & 0 IM versions to clear Hex; weaker players will need 4, super strong players can pull off 0; for my first time getting to Hex on a new SAsc, I typically do the 2 IM version

bump, as i dont know how long a thread stays editable...

it's either 1 month or 30 days, idk which

A good bump to a good thread is always worth it!

otto, thanks for the high res. Fawesome. More of that. Please and thank you. The zoom in is sweet.

through struggle and challenge i have done my own part by updating the op

did you know that a phone can linux? you don't need to root it, termux + an external keyboard is really quite usable

it would be sad if some image hosting site went offline and the images could not be recovered, hopefully some of us w bigger devices than me have downloaded the full set

I am planning the first 2 open ones next, i.e., Hard Ursa and K-PX.
But I just super ascended so it takes a few days to get there again...
