Covert Levels

What is the highest lvls you can get ingame?

And what minimum lvl should I have?

Is there a point at which the lvl no longer matters?

tnx

Re: Covert Levels

I think Cost effective stops when it gets ridiculously expensive cause the cost also doubles I mean who can afford say lvl 35 which is in the area of 100 trillion naq I can think of a lot of things that much naq could be used to benefit me more

Amount of Naquadah required to upgrade spy level from 34 to 35 is 103,079,215,104,000

like maybe boosting your raw to an awesome production level that could allow you to train enough spies to do the same thing lol

Amount of Naquadah required to upgrade unit production from 0 to 330000 is 90,749,725,000,000

legocalc is a great tool btw here is the link :)

Re: Covert Levels

I'd say you would be hard pushed to find many people with covert lvl 33 let alone 34,

Anyway who spends 100trill naq on lvl 35 is mad,

I cant see this ever changing unless admin updates the income per miner.

As for the min lvl you should have, i would say average is around 28-30 now.

Re: Covert Levels

Well high covert levels have advantages.

they are long term investments if you do not plan on ascending again. you can never lose your covert levels. say I want 1 trillion covert for some reason. I could buy covert level 28 and use 3.5 million spies. or you could have level 29 and use 1.75 million spies. the 1.7 million spies you save could easily be sold to buy covert level 29. The spies could be massed, but with the good level it is easier to rebuild.

Re: Covert Levels

My account isn't ascended yet, (thinking about doing it soon though).

Is it better to have a low covert lvl and lots of spies or a high one without many?

Re: Covert Levels

depends. if you plan on ascending then the spies can be brokered away. the covert level is just lost.

if you have no ascension plans in the future and there is no war on the horizon then a high spy level is better than a lot of spies.

yea, but the bigger covert level, the more AP on ascended... wich might no be much of a differance after a few ascentions, but on the first ascention, it helps alot.
