Author Topic:   Ascent to Transcendence

How many steps is there in the ascent to transcendence? I am playing a single player game with like 100,000 energy and racking up 2 levels per year, I just hit Ascent to Transcendence level 102 and I was wondering if there are any other prereq's to finishing this thing out. Thanks

You have to build the SP AtT in order to win. If that doesn't show up in your build window, then that Victory Condition is turned off and you can't win that way.

If you mean you keep discovering the transcendant thought tech, that happens forever and ever unless you have patch 3.0, and even then, you might have to start a new game for it to take effect. You need to build Voice of the Planet, then Ascent to Transcendance.

I can win ASCENT TO TRANSCENDENCE only
with patch 3.0 and full new game?
I have the 3.0 but i was continue a game
and now I built the voice of planet
but cant build the ascent.
Is this a bug?

Has a message appeared declaring that all factions may now commence the ascent to transcendance? Sometimes it's a few turns after you build Voice of the Planet (bug?)

I tried to finish a game started under v2.0 after installing v3.0 and I can't build the AtT. Since this was the goal from the start of the game (I'm a peacekeeping pacifist), I *know* that victory condition was turned on. Now, under v3.0, I can't build AtT! This is a bug, but it's not important unless it still does it in a game started under v3.0 (which I'm in the process of doing).
jamiejenson: my previous reply on this matter was based on v2.0 experience only.

I am playing version 2.0 and I did get the
message stating that you can now begin the ascent, but apparently it doesn't work in 2.0. Therefore I installed 3.0 and am now trying it again. Thanks for all of your input.

Hi, I'm a (relatively) new player and I just installed 3.0. The readme file says "Transcendent Thought breakthroughs no longer continuously loop". What exactly does this mean? can you only get one now?

Transcendant thought is the last tech you discover in the game. It gives no benifits or anything, it's just kinda there. It used to be that once you discovered transcendant thought, you would begin researching transcendant thought 2, then 3, and so on. And each time you discovered the next level of this totally useless tech, a popup would appear telling you the quote and stuff like for any other tech, and once you get about 3 of those in 1 turn, it gets really, really annoying. So, they corrected it so that once you get transcendant thought, you stop researching (full economy!!!)

Hmmmm...I've installed the version 3.0 patch. Last night, my game reached year 2530 or so, and I started researching Trascendent Thoughts. I think I'm up to like Transcendent Thought 6 now. Anyway, is this Non-Looping a setting or is it an adjustment to the game?
Thanks,
Nick.
