You don't keep anything between resets except for the angels themselves. Spent angels are gone forever.

The best way to know if it's worth spending the angels on a manager or upgrade is to click "buy" If it's over a certain percentage of your total angels (1%, I think), then you'll be asked if you're sure and should probably say 'no' But if it doesn't ask, then it's a worthwhile investment that will help you recover those lost angels much faster.

10%, actually. You honestly have to gauge and value what upgrades are worth compared to the cost against your pool. There are a lot of spots where you can spend up to 25% of your angels to get a better gain than skipping a certain upgrade.

I should have said easiest way instead of best. For those of us that just want to be upper management and not accountants.

Angel managers probably aren't worth it until much later IMO.

Take oil for example - at 400 oil, the next x100 oil costs 181$ septillion. Eberneezer Rockerfeller costs 10 angels and decreases that by 10%... a whole 1.8 septillion. 1.8 septillion takes like a FEW SECONDS to get at that stage so it's almost worthless unless you want to see the cash per sec.

Edit:
Actually it's 18 septillion which is still pretty small.

thanks for the replies!

I think it'll be safer to stick to the first 3 angel upgrades for now, as they've really been helpful and speed up the process a ton.

Read the first sentence of the first answer again, please.

Then why bother spending angels in the first place? If i have to spend 100,000 angels to make them 2% more effective but lose that when i reset...Really what is the point of spending them???

[skhar]

Because your remaining angels are 2% more efficient until you reset. If you do the math right, you can boost your income by alot and gain those lost 100k in a few minutes back and much more on top in less time.

They're not 2% more effective. Their initial bonus is 2%. If you give them another 2%, that's doubling their bonus.

What the managers give you is the ability to reach the next bonus level more easily. The same goes for angel upgrades that give +x of an object. Those upgrades give you that X as a starting value, with the same price/purchase value as if you were still at zero.

Newspapers are the hardest to level up, so those should be your focus. Each time you get them to a new rank of the "everything" upgrade, you get a bonus of 2-3 times for everything. From that perspective, if you're on a run where this will allow you to reach another level of x2 everything in a reasonable amount of time that you couldn't otherwise reach, it's worth a lot of angels. It will double the effect the remaining angels have.
