14M by level 61? I was on less than 5M by that point. Did you get the 10M bonus, or perhaps loop the ranks x10 times? Did you milk the hurry up ships for ranks?
I suppose I should have made it a rule not to milk the hurry up ships or use the extra rank trick, as then its less about luck or skill but simply buying a big score, and it becomes a war of who can milk the rank loops most.
Yes the War 1 is very under-rated, and its good we finally unlocked most of the secrets in this game at last. Very well deserved 1st on the PD hall of Fame.
edit: If we awarded 1M for every level reached, it would reward progress, and players can milk as much as they like, within reason. That would put you on 75+M and me on around 140M?
