Where do you invest your Ascended Life Force?

[fremen]

I was looking at my PowerUp page and it is indicative of my play style. I think the same is true of everyone after playing the game in its current form for the past year and a half. Vote for your most expensive skills to upgrade and we will see what styles of play are the most popular.

All skills are listed with Ori naming conventions and are in the order presented in the PowerUp page. I combined Energy Attack Power Level and Energy Attack Skill as a single vote (same for defensive set) so that I would have enough poll options to include an equal distribution.

If you concentrate your efforts on less then 5 skills then use less then 5 voting options.

I realize that CS and CEF are also significant sources of income consumption, but they use pure Dark Matter Units and the conversion ratio would complicate the poll too much. You can list them in a response if they are of utmost importance to you. Honestly though CEF can be considered an expansion of charisma and that leaves CS slots as the only thing not included as weapons are not a permanent investment.

Thanks for your participation.

I work on different things in stages. Past few months i've been purely working on Energy Attack Power Level/Energy Attack Skill, and Maximum Natural Energy Capacity to reach 500mill TOC, now i'm working on Assasin power and Char, Should be at desired assasin level in the next few days then i'll start working on Attack and Char, then Defense and Char, Then Covert and char then i'll be purely working on my Char and Fleets for a long while as my fleet size is laughable.

[~Insider Trader~]

Charisma is my most expensive power up by a factor of 24

Maybe when I hit a billion CER I'll start powering up other things but that is 138,000 fleets and 35 charisma levels away.

Despite my attack, defence, covert & assassin levels being just 1180, 1180, 1140 & 1140 I have enough planets to play with so there's no need to go higher with those yet.

I pump up whatever is cheapest.
It all comes out of in the wash eventually.

[bigcakes]

i keep most of my personal lvls pretty equal and have been working on those quite abit. i only get my attack power level up for realm but maybe once i get my personals to where i want them ill work on the rest of realm abilities and actually build some nice stats.

Mostly charisma, though assassination also gets its chance. Sometime ago I thought defense and attack also worthwhile, but defense is a myth and I have little time for attacking.

But, I hear whispers and rumors of a long-awaited day. Perhaps the cosmos will force a total change in playing style...

I do this as well; work on things in stages. Usually at one point or another i work on everything and try to keep things balanced. Lately though everythings going into a select few stats.

My MNEC is my most exspensive power up. Each upgrade increases 8 bil cache

[~Insider Trader~]

I worry about everyone whose most expensive powerup is not charisma or attack. Or defence for the few 65Q turtles out there.

Apart from the ones here whose sole motivation is to descend people I just want to get a stick and smack the silliness out of them.

If your top stat is covert then you get a double smack.

whatever looks prettiest because i never have a clue what i'm doing

Why is that. Even if someone had a completely balanced realm mnec would still be the highest because its the most exspensive. But then my sole motivation is to descend people Charisma is my second highest.

I second that on the double smack for covert.

[fremen]

My most expensive is Charisma. But my second highest has a cost of about 70% of Charisma. MNEC is third and is about a third of charisma.

I just finished a personal attack skills/MNEC stage with occasional pushes for the bottom 4 military. I can't decide which to go for first, 1k charisma or 1600 attack.

Dear lord...I don't even want to think about how much 1k charisma would cost...




I just got my charisma into the 600's...going to be working on that for a while...

Already about 50 billion, at 794 charisma....Ugh.

Mostly I try to develop the Power-ups evenly, keeping just a couple areas slightly higher than others....but that's all with whatever is left over, after doing what I need to, to keep my CER always at the same level, despite the automatic per-turn reduction.

Upgrading the Outward Charisma from 999 to 1,000 will cost 1,010,768,593,672 Life Force.
Upgrading the Physical Realm Attack Power from 1,599 to 1,600 will cost 558,393,262,083 Life Force.

Its not too bad really, just takes time. Hell Im already paying cost of the second on one of my levels and I dont find it too bad. Personal Abilities plus Charisma cost the same for the levels. Mnec is the most exspensive while production is the cheapest. At a certain point the costs jump dramatically. For the personal abilities including charisma from level 900 to 1000 is only 56 tril cache but from 1000 to 1100 its 203 tril cache. Mnec also jumps at 1000. From 900 to 1000 it costs 78 tril cache but from 1000 to 1100 it costs 284 tril cache. Physical abilities cant be compared to personal abilities in terms of costs but you can say the jump in costs happens around 1400. From 1300 to 1400 is 6 tril cache while from 1400 to 1500 is 16 tril cache. To continue to 1600 is another 38 tril cache.

This is just speculation though. You'd have to be insane to go to some of these levels.

In my opinion to be on par or balanced in terms of costs a level 1000 charisma could have a 1600 to 1700 physical levels'.
