Fine, I guess I'll ascend after getting my first few of them. Or would you guys recommend I go later?

Ascend ASAP. Mutations are wonderful, wonderful things and you can never have enough of them. Plus getting back to where you were is extremely easy with them. Just make sure to save your mutagen at first. 0.1 larva per mutagen is pretty amazing when you're starting out again, but eventually you'll want to spend it.

What matters is how much mutagen and patience you have.  Ascending as fast as possible isn't the best plan.

Ten million or so isn't a terrible start, but if you can persist, you get a third mutation slot for 244 million.  Get some change above that so you can power them up.

Whichever way you go, absolutely don't spend it all at once.  The larva bonus from unspent mutagen is huge early on.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Are there things beyond Hice Empresses?

Yep, at least one from what I can see.

I'm finding that pumping mutagen into hatchery mutations is faster than not spending it.

How do you get more mutagen, anyways?

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

WAAAY later expansions and hatchery upgrades have a chance to give you mutagen.

I got to 100 expansions in no time. Guess that's what you get for really wanting those larvae, and swarmlings are cheap, even upgraded.

tell me your secret

Actually it was probably just actually using the spells and not trying to get the lepidoptera to 100% energy efficiency like I did.

I just used my first bunch of energy on the things that give you extra energy per second, until I got a whole 1 per sec deal. Then I just focused on my army.
