@beegum: when you have a few 10B angels you can buy most things in the 1st hour. the income won't change much after that point. You can still come back some hours later to buy something, but after a day nearly nothing changes, except you reset. (you only get about 2B more investors, but it's still the best way)

Out of curiosity, why at 280 does the newspaper stand cost more to buy 10 at a time than the oil wells do at 190? The newspapers are currently 120.537 quintillion, and the oil wells are 118.384 quintillion, even though I have more of the wells than the newspapers

I see a lot of people with 40B angels and they must have started at around the same time I did. I assume that reseting is bad unless you have a lot more angels, as it appears I slow down getting angels in that day or so my stuff gets back up I make maybe 1B angels when its a couple B or more now when everything is fairly stable and I'm increasing oil production because pizza is too far away.

I had 30 billion angel investors turned computer off and when i came back it had completely restarted my progress.....

Ugh. Reset. Almost 3 million angels. Really not looking forward to rebuild. Good game. Just wish resets could be avoided.

Maybe I'm just taking this all to logically or something, but once you get omniscient news papers.... Wouldn't you just keep it to yourself and exploit it? I mean "Oh. So the nuclear launch codes for America are '5926535897932384,' eh? Ah. And here's the way to get past all those puny little security features. Lets see if they would like to give me some money, eh? Or perhaps the Russians will bid more. Maybe the Sunni terrorists? Hmm.. That's a good bet."

@12q12q9 the angel investors stack up so if you reset and gain 1000 then reset for 1500 you would have 2500 total
@TribalUnityXD I haven't a clue all I know is my 500 oil companies nets me about 60k every 4 seconds with 23.387 septillion income and I have 4.004 billion investors if that's any use at all to you

@sssecretboy - I am over 100 Billion and can't get it without getting impatient and resetting! New updates should keep us busy from 400 to 500!

boo... I lost my data... Oh well... Time to start from scratch. Either way it's a really fun game. By far the best Idle RPG I've ever played.

If I recall correctly, the formula for the total amount of angel investors after reset is 150*sqrt(#quadrillion made all time)

Maybe I'm the only one here that's really OCD about my Angel Investors but in case I'm not I Think a nice feature would be an auto reset when i reach a certain amount of investors. Or really any way I can get a nice solid number.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't know if it has been said or asked before but does anyone know the formula for angel investors? Basically I want to get X amount of angels for this run. How much more money would I need to earn to get X amount of angels?

@Gabe2 the way Kongregate does monetizing for games submitted, the developer gets an extra percentage if it's a "Kong exclusive". I don't remember if it allows for uploading on personal sites.

Im playing this game myself and i like it. But it really surprised me how many people play this game. I guess this portrays the brain structure and world we live in qutie well. €€€

This game really serves as a good Literacy Test... Every single page of comments is fraught with people who CANNOT READ, clearly, since its not only been discussed 1,000+ times as to "hurr durr why is this more expensive than that?" but it's also been explained with the math as to why (Each upgrade costs x1.14 the current amount for newspaper stands, and 1.10, 1.0, .9 or something for the others since they have a higher initial cost)... And that's not even pointing out that the developer has said it's intentional, and that he/she/they have plans to change how its working in the near future either hindered by kong staff having to approve everything uploaded or due to his amateur base code of the game since... well, I dont think they expected 100k views let alone 2.7m (at present).
Keep up the good work HyperHippoGames. You've been given a lot of good PR for this game and hopefully that'll carry on through your future titles.

yomahdi, it was intentional. If you'll read the update notes to the right of the game, you'll see that they're planning something that will make this more useful.

My computer just reset and now im getting 'invalid import data'. How can i get my progress back? lost about 100k AIs :(

Whoo, just about 100 nonillion away from getting 500 news papers! It took me like 1.200 decillion and very many days but I am close! I suspect by tomorrow I will have enough money. (^ ^)b good luck and good investments to my fellow capitalists!

I was thinking it would be cool to have a store where you can spend angels to buy permanent upgrades, or some option to reset angels for a small boost...

Yes, I made some assumptions that may not be true to come up with the magnitude in difference of cost per item. I assumed the ROR per unit increase was similar, rather than per investment cost... People who read the code could probably say more if I'm more or less accurate. Anyway, the unit increase cost is really massive right now for newspapers, so, other than the incentive for achievement bonuses it is a poor investment unless it is seriously like 8 order of magnitude different in cost by the time you get to 500. 100,000,000x or if oil is (1n) News should be (1sextillion) according to this assumption.

I THINK I figured out why the newspaper costs more once you have angel investors then it does at first. the short answer is, it doesn't, it costs less then the oil well
the reason for this is each investor puts in 1% of the total cost, so since the newspaper costs less, the amount contributed is less. this effect is more noticeable once you have more investors. I could be wrong, but that is how is seems to me.
