Re: Challenge: Fastest strategy through Virgo

I was out under three days  last time around.

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

two days. would've done it in about 24 hours but needed to wait on the last 3 explo ships...

easiest way to do it is build all CF's and just wait. playing the market will make it go faster but it isnt necessary. at about ~3k per tick just stop and let it add up. build the explo's and explore all 9 at the same time. it is easiest to go revalons because of the income bonus.

remember that it will cost 2700 gc per planet to explore so make sure you have at least 24300 gc before you explore.

if you are new to the game then virgo is the place to learn. if you are returning and want to get through fast then this is the easiest way. not the absolute fastest, but the easiest.

th' best thin' t' do is t' be a rev, an' save an' expo, because once ye have 10 planets ye graduate.

Re: Challenge: Fastest strategy through Virgo

cant you just build 9 transports and 90 soldiers and take 9 planets super fast? do people have fleets and portals in virgo?

Re: Challenge: Fastest strategy through Virgo

lol no people dont even have lasers tongue


when I played, this guy figured the game out quick, he sent out like 15 fleets and took more then 10 planets, and then he tried to hand them off to the lower players so he didn't have to move on tongue

Careful... This Missile Leaves Nothing Left Standing

Re: Challenge: Fastest strategy through Virgo

celdiran it is imposible to get out of virgo at 24 hours you don't make enough cash. 24*3000=72000

it costs 114300gc in total to build and expo. +90iron and 45 endu and 90 food.

then it's 6 ticks to build expos.
it's at least 5 ticks till you start making any real cash.

so your telling me in 13 ticks you had 114300gc and were ready to expo?

forgot to add that its pretty hard to find a virgo fam with 9 free planets 1 tick away... so your looking at loosing another 2 or 3 ticks there.


sooooo.....?

Re: Challenge: Fastest strategy through Virgo

i got lucky and was put in a fam that had not one but two systems between 1 and 2 ticks away with open planets.

i also played the market to the extreme where i didnt leave my computer for those first 5 ticks that the cf's were being built (was at work with nothing better to do). i had enough cash to build those first 6 explos before the CFs were even done.  of course you cant make enough cash in 24 ticks but you can buy and sell iron and endo and make enough in 12. virgo is a little slower with the market because of the lack of people but it works the same way. i had the money to explore by the time those last 3 e-ships were done.

it is impossible to get out in 24 hours but not because of the cash. only because of the amount of explos you can build in a 24 hour period. the strategy i wrote will not get you out in 24 hours but i did write that is wasn't the fastest, just the easiest. i only used a small part of that myself because i wanted to get out fast.
