I’m playing WZ Idle, Phase 2, starting now Australia map. Should I use multi level power to play also Hardened Scandinavia and the Nordic countries to get 4th boy artifact?

I have just 3 multilevel, never used before ‘cause I guess it will be longer later

MLs are very rare, there is exactly one available to harvest on the various maps (which can be harvested a total of twice ever).

The best time to use a ML is to play two very slow maps at the same time (like HTrisk and HEH, for example). If you mix a fast and a slow map then you'll just finish the fast map and be stuck on the slow one until you finish it. That being said, I don't run either of HTrisk nor HEH and haven't for many SAs as they're not worth it in terms of AP/time for me. I also have never bothered using either of my ML powers nor the ML advancement.

Your proposed use of a ML does not seem to meet the above criteria, so I would probably say no you shouldn't use it here.

That being said, the 4th boy bonus on HScandi is great to have, it will probably be quite the slog for you to complete at this point though as I'm guessing your AM is still quite low. This might have been your angle on using ML here, thinking you could continue on with faster maps in the mean time, but that's not how ML works.

You really right, I get it. However i have AM at 60%, I have to concentrate more in upgrading it at this point?

go for hardened scandinavia only after you have legendary alloy values and 100%~ extra mercs

if you have the mercs but not the alloy values, you will have to draft for ages or inspire the mercs

4th boy is worth only as much as your number of artifacts. if you have 3 passive to go together (like cache boost, army cache boost and hospital boost) and you want to have one active on the back recharging (supercharge army camp or triple strike) its very needed

if you like to have 2 actives recharging, its even more needed.
up to you, make your calculations <3

Get 4th boy - it is very beneficial having an extra slot

But don't use an ML to get it. There are other ways.

He is going to get stuck hard in there since it looks like it's his 1st run so the pathing will not be optimal and having only 60% AM will not be close to enough even with beefy artifacts.

I would not rush the 4th boy unless you expect to take a LONG time in Australia. Australia/Netherlands are on the easy side so if you really want to use a ML then China/AEG/Trisk/USA/EH would be better options.

Also, I strongly recommend dropping all AP into AM% till 100-130% (depending on your artifacts) while balancing $$ generating advancement so you can actually afford them. This probably will require repeating some old levels.

AM is probably the single most important advancement to take. For HScandi with minimal artifacts you'll need at least in the low 100s for AM, anything less than that will have to be backfilled with army camps (slooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww), TS/QS, or something along those lines, and that's after drafting the entire sliding pool of drafts (and assuming your pathing is close to optimal, which it likely won't be on a first pass).

That being said, with just 60% AM you'll almost certainly run out of mercs on Australia too, but the shortfall should be proportionally smaller..

Is it worth it? Yes but what is the point if you don't have the artifacts to use it? I guess you have ETS you want to use it every time you can without a real cost? If you 5x the biggest camp you should be able to do it now. Saving those IMs for 3 years from now might be better. 1 IM saves time and cash while 5 IMs give you 9x more armies but many thing it is better to wait for HEX.
