Civilization wars were not turn-based, and civilization evolution was not level-based.
The reason the Insect Queen and the Anti-Insect Alliance could turn a civilization war into a turn-based game was simple.
They were noobs!
This kind of weakness did not mean their actual strength was low. It meant that their development of their technology trees was still at an elementary stage.
Put simply, a level-three elementary civilization still barely knew how to fight.
Civilization evolution was the same.
It was not as simple as advancing upward from level 1 to level 2, then level 3 and level 4.
A level-85 subatomic insect was not merely one level higher than a level-84 mechanical unit.
The gap between them was not a difference in basic attributes, but a difference between being able to instantly kill the other side.
Likewise, a level-90 'War Mad Mechanical' fighting a level-85 viral mechanical unit was not merely a difference in basic attributes.
Compared to before the war, the 'War Mad Mechanical' mechanical unit had only risen by two levels.
But the increase in strength was not limited to those 'two levels'.
It represented the limit of what the military technology of a level-three civilization could achieve.
This limit was not the limit of an early-stage civilization, nor the limit of a mid-stage civilization, but the limit of a late-stage level-three civilization.
It was the pinnacle of individual military technology before ascension!
To achieve this, both the 'System' and 'Mechanical Agrarian Militarism' were indispensable.
There was no greater mechanic than the 'System'.
Along the professional knowledge chain of the 'Planetary Mainframe', it had developed directly to the pinnacle.
That pinnacle was the 'Celestial Hardware Hardware' series.
But apart from this 'Super Desktop Computer Series', the tens of thousands of blueprints also included the 'Individual Hardware Series'.
Simply
