Anu Tiamat range has been increased by 25%
Normal range of the Tiamat is 4000 km, with this research 5000 km:
… but only for the Tiamat, that’s my point.
How early do you steal the second plane?
After 1st week?
Then you are faster.
After 2nd week?
Then I’ve already build the second Manticore + 1 Scarab and pretty sure all 3 faction on 25% (which is very difficult if you go against them early on). All heavens revealed means plenty of points to fly by for trading, heaven events and more POIs. The third Manticore or probably even the first Helios is build in the third week, inclusive Scarab’s to fill up all 3 aircraft.
I tried all these and the only way for me to be more effective was to abuse raiding, sabotage and aircraft stealing one after another what also was very tedious. Only doing that when it doesn’t hurt too much the factions was not that effective for me.
