I know that the paths vary a lot depending on where you are in your journey, the artifacts that you have etc. etc.
But since most of what I do on a specific map stays the same since a few super ascensions, I thought I would share that with you guys and collect feedback.

* Is this helpful at all?
* Is this too dependend on artifacts?
* Do we want to collect that kind of data and share it?



As this is just a post to collect feedback, I didnt polish the cheat sheet. So please have merci if there is sth which might be unclear.

A few abbreviations maybe explained:
* 150/100/50 is the level of AM/IASV/MD advancements that I am targeting before reaching the map
* in the very last line, I often collect different scenarios like
** 100/100/50: H3
** 150/100/50: H2
** which means different hospital upgrades depending on the AM value
* AC 1B means that I am upgrading all ACs until the next upgrade cost is 1B
* AC8; D2; M4 etc are the different techs that you can get after raiding the market
* M1 50% raid nickel means that I raid the market until the buy cost is ~50% of the sell cost
* most efficient alloys are highlighted blue
* M1 100% raid nickel 0 => the last number tells how many you might need in later stages (here always 0)

* Is this helpful at all?

For the more experienced players (>1 regular ascention) I think, it is nice to know the various thresholds a routes, which allow for effective market strategy implementation per each level. That it would enable optimization of selection of levels during ascension runs + will give proper tips on how to optimize routes within levels.

* Is this too dependend on artifacts?

One of the positive side effects of the modifies addition, is that it doesn't matter much where you get your stats from. So maybe the guides could be built around certain percentages, and it is up to the players, how they satisfy the requirements.

* Do we want to collect that kind of data and share it?

I dont know, how different are the routes, which based on different stats. But if yes, that would require a lot of data gather to satisfy various players.

I've been meaning to write down the best bars to get for each market and what to purchase for the AV and down the 100% Army Cache/improved hospital thing

I also wonder if i am pounding hospitals too hard, but that does vary a lot depending on artifacts and +25APs

I just never get around to it. However I am old school and old, so I'd just pen and paper it.

To quote George Takei

Oh my.

Now I skip it of course. Long ago, I would craft after M1 to get some of the early MS techs.

Just like I do with EH.

Yo this is pretty cool!

Perhaps you could add a map as well to visualize the path?

There was a map or two that did that for hex earth on the forum and it was very useful when learning the map.

China, I find it hard to track down all the hospitals in particular, I often end up skipping one or two. Also until you do it a few/many times those markets are hard to find.
Same I guess for any large map, but unless you are from West Taiwan or a total Cheeb, the descriptions of where everything is, isn't very helpful. At least as a Canadian and a Geography nerd, with 'merica and Europe, I can just look at the data base and go, oh yeah it's Alabama, narrows it down a bit.
