covert power

[Mango]

I am trying to fully understand ascention and I know it is quite different from main but this seemed a little strange.

I have covert level 28
I spied on someone with Intelligence rating of 18
They have less intelligence agents than I do and I can see all their stats.

But I cannot see how many DMU they have nor can I see their total planets on the Cosmos screen.

Is this intentional that it is difficult to see what everyone else has?

I am 10 covert levels higher than this guy and I would have thought that would have allowed me to at least see his DMU.......

any thoughts?

Yes. I think the point was to make it so you could only see the DMU/armies of those who you overpowered (by quite a fair bit it seems) but if you are willing to chance a recon, this can give you their DMU on hand.

yeah i did a recon and still came up with ???? for the DMU.

Ahh well if thats the way the rules are then so be it i guess

Level 28 gives you a 45% advantage over someone with level 18. In ascension levels help, but unit count is king.

ahh ok, That explains it. I thought I read somewhere that each level was suppsed to be 3 times better than the one before it.

Ok so ever level is only what.....4.5% higher than the last?

Not quite, there's a formula somewhere (found it - Game Updates) which describes exactly the effect of each upgrade.

The ability level factor is pretty much found just by dividing your level by 100 and adding it to 1 (so with level 5 you'd have a base factor of 1.05) which is then cubed (keeping level 5, you'd have 1.05^3 = 1.16; so level 5 gives you a 16% bonus). Obviously for each level up, you get an expenential bonus over the previous level.

something like that I hope

i also believe that you can only see soembody DMU for free if your covert is as least three or fourtimes better
