sigh - is lev 25 still reacheable what do you think?

[orlok]

Yes, easily, I would say, with 118m bucks per cycle you should get there. I'm on 56m per cycle, and have just made L25. Set your gift request to Bliss to try to reduce the low bliss-cost hits and increase the bucks per cycle and surge Bliss each cycle - don't worry about the Energy for now.

[Freeshadow]

the only thing allowed me to have used the last 2 milion super pop gift was levelling TO 24 and the bliss blast from it.
i hope I manage to crouch past 25 in time - the energy supers are rare and small so its hard to cut blissloss

All of a sudden I look much more "bad-ass!"

And I look less badass, why didn't they add the picture of Esmay from the cover of Once a Hero? *pout*

[Freeshadow]

Yees I'made it!
thank you all for help :P
I wonder now what to do with rest of the cycles before armageddon
maybe some joins since 30 is out of question where the next join d be 268.xxx.xxx

Just got to Level 20 and have the 6th ebook coupon. The nice thing about building up an Energy surplus over time is that you can surge the Cryocombs 25 times and sextuple your population and still not go into deficit.

Nothing left to do until the reset besides redistribute gifts. If anyone really particularly needs anything, let me know, although I cleared out most of the stuff yesterday evening.

[mnfe]

Ok, what just happened? I was out for a couple of cycles and I came back to a 19 million surplus in energy instead of a 3 million deficit and a 7 million deficit for food (no Bliss hit) and a 4 million deficit of Bliss where previously the most I hit was 300k?

Is this the reset? It seems like they made energy less of a limiting factor but now I went from being in one hole that was managable to two and almost no money per cycle.

[ATDrake]

Preliminary upgrades. The actual reset doesn't happen until tomorrow.

If you click on the relevant lines in your stats, you'll find that they changed the requirements for those so that you need less Energy but more Food and Bliss for each member of your population.

And now gifts you get from others are scaled to your Level, so they behave like supergifts in quantity.

[mnfe]

Thanks. Well, it's preventing me from getting enough money to get another alliance, which would be another book. I'm not sure I would've made it anyway, would've been close, but now there's pretty much no chance.

Still, 6 free books. I'll take it!

[kaleissin]

There was an error if you manually reset a freehold earlier today but now it works as it should.

I've now reset myself to get a glimpse of what the next round will be like. Should probably try with a different mix of liberties, but eh... See ya tomorrow!

[gbm]

All Freeholds have been reset. The Beta test is over.

My reset Freehold is gbm.

and I'm using iphinome (again)

[nightcolors]

I'm going with Nightcolors again, too.

[Elfwreck]

I'm trying to decide whether to restart one or both. Both feels kinda like cheating? Maybe? OTOH, maybe I could write a walkthrough/tutorial, and having an extra account helps with that.

I failed to make the jump to L25 before the reset.
