I got really into the potion factory ending because it makes the game longer and more interesting. That made me focus on getting as much magic as possible. This is my best playthrough ever. The secret of the game comes down to choosing the map you start on, then be precise where you want special cities to be.

Aha, a fellow Potion Factory enthusiast!

Optimizing for mana generation is definitely the most interesting way to play the game. It takes a few map re-rolls before you get one with the right setup, but you can get some crazy results; I managed to hit one thousand mana per minute on a couple runs:

It should be possible to go a little bit higher if you can generate a map that allows for a Potion Factory adjacent to a Magical Water City next to a Great City of Tech and Magic, which results in a 225% production boost, (applied half again if the Potion Factory is also touching the water).

Makes me wish the game had a map editor so I could experiment!

Holy balls you got an epic map there. All the open space and your mushroom forests are perfectly in place relative to the potion factory. And stacking up all the cities of tech and magic with great city of cities, that's crazy. I don't think I've ever had more than 3 cities of tech and magic on a map at once before beating the game. If you got to 1K magic before winning the game, hats off to you :O

And yeah, a map editor would be a lot of fun. I wish the game opened up a more elaborate and outlandish part 2 / new area after you beat the darkness. We need a sequel.
