One thing to watch out for though, is that if you focus exclusively on mult, eventually the scale tips and chips become more valuable.
You’re always ultimately doing c * m, chips times mult, right? Increasing c by 1 increases your total by…
(c+1)*m - (c*m) = (c + 1 - c) * m = m
And vice versa for increasing m by 1. So, whichever is higher - your total mult or total chips - you should increase the other one. Usually this means increase mult, but building a bit multiplier can quickly make it outpace your chips for some hands.
Two days ago I joined a game, spawned, and instantly got flattened by a catapult. Had a chuckle. Spawned in the same place … instant catapult. Mildly annoying but what are the chances? Smaller chuckle. Spanwed again… Made it three paces, ballista to the chest.
