well... if you don't wish to ascend, then you've answered your question yourself.


I bought my ss with 1k g&r. but then I ascended.

really your choice.

well i asked this because I dont know what is better, I know you get bonuses and all when you ascend but you loose spy lvls and UP..

if you ascend without ss, you'll lose everything except lifers.


not something I recommend, unless you want a really strong and active ascended account.

either way, if u ascend, u lose alot of ur account.
if u dont wanna ascend, then just buy urself SS.

or pay someone 200k UU for a 20$ SS

Getting 1001 G&R is easy, so I'd get the SS first.

Besides, getting SS will make it easier for you to raid, as you can trade on the black market for turns. :)

simple do the bare minimum for ascension and then buld alot the next time...also if you train most things into miners you have your income when you get back and as long as you have income you can't be taken down.

Its hard when you have only 500k miners and no at's to raid more uu though..

my suggestion unwritten- tread water till you have the 1000 g&r points to trade in for ss. Once you do, don't worry about doing any raiding. If you are earning g&r points, you aren't in a position to raid good anyway as it's.. what.. 10x your current rank plus 1 or something? not much, it narrows your raiding field alot. At this point, just save up your attack turns and attack for naq now and then when it's really worth your while.

When you build up a second 1000 g&r points, in roughly 2-3 weeks, send your resources off to a trustworthy friend, then ascend.

When you ascend (and it IS worth it in my opinion) spend your naq on UP and covert and chill out in the low & lousy ranking till you've fed your fill from raiding. Any naq you make on your own, trade in reg marketplace for turns, use turns to raid for UU. It's boring, but a month of that and you'll be sitting pretty with an extra couple million troops.

man i was in the exact same position as you about 2 weeks ago...
i used 1000 g&r to get ss....
i would advise you to aswell.....
that way you can send your uu's and rersources to a mate before you ascend....and therefore you can rebuild quicker after ascending...

good luck with your ascension btw....
