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

thanks guys, much appretiated for the info, it certainly helps
