Hey guys I have slight problem with having too many Mercs.

 

Currently this is my unit count:

 

Attack Troops : 0

Attack Mercs : 10,000

Defense Troops : 2,000

Defense Mercs : 5,000

Untrained Troops : 144

Untrained Mercs : 2,457

Spies : 5,853

Sentries : 5,916

 

I'm currently at a negative -424,399 point income and currently have 1,082,558 income.

I have a unit production of a hundred per hour.

 

I'm going to be hitting negatives rather soon and I thought the game prevented you from hiring Mercs if it would drop you to the negatives.

If this is true, there is a bug in the game which allows the player to acquire negative income:

 

Training spies and sentries to acquire negative income

- or

Going into battle to get spies and sentries killed

 

The first method can be solved if you made the check to see if the player can support the Mercs with his current income by using the spy and sentry income values for all troops.

 

The second method would require an adequate number of Mercs to be killed before applying casualties to Spies and Sentries.

 

Just thought I might report this as a bug for Aileron to fix.

Really though... How many times is this going to be brought up.. In this single round even?!

ATM, merc caps can not be added because the core will not allow tampering.

Problem temporally solved. Stole someones points and hopefully by the time my current point total runs out I should either hit positive income or should be able to steal someone else points and wait till its positive.

sound you need to be in a clan to make tallies, what your making right now are 'unclaimed tallies' if you read the score. And i hope your not proud of that

Oh... Why are you doing that? Lol the other day i was like checking everybody's clan like who the !@#$%^&* is getting tallies for Forsaken Commanders?! Edited by Sound

Well, when you left people were still in the clan, so I figured it must have been some kind of mistake.

 

Oh, back to the topic though...you can get rid of the negative income faster if you m!@#$%^&* or get massed depending on whether your mercs are offensive or defensive.

aileron.. all that would do is kill mercs.. you bought them for a reason after all and im prety sure you dont want them dead. Edited by JDS

oh so you buy mercs because you want more power in defence or attack, but it cant be so easy, there has to be a negative effect.. so negative income is pretty good, besides you have to buy ALOT of mercs is you want to have negative money.

 

 

change my mind on this one, negative money is asencialy good for the game.

 

 

keep it!

indeed, if it wasn't for a negative income we would all have much larger armies by now and the top spot would be determined by who can make it on-line when mercs are added to buy them all as happened a while back when mercs were cheap and had 0 income.

Right, the negative income IS a good thing.

What i'm saying is that if you don't WANT to lose money, you kill off enough so that you DON'T lose money every hour. Maybe break even.
