Personally i don't see a reason why you should have many of them
ATM i only have 14% of my miners in lifers.
And it does save you alot of uu's to train them only in packs of 10
so if you have 1232uu's you only train 1230 into miners

And if someone is the ac'er during a war then he only needs to switch between assasin and attack soldiers. If someone wants the extra income then that someone shouldn't complain about the side effects


Then again have you ever been into a real war :?

I have been in several. But even then i don't see how you could get more than a few hundred thousand k lifers even if you are the ac'er with a few mil assasins

I think the point was that a few hundred thousand k lifers adds up if that happens for 200 wars.

I am currently hurting from the same thing, too many lifers..

Re: The Curse of Lifers

I once had this problem, 90% of my army was lifers.

Go away, get your head down and do some raiding.

My lifers take up less than 25% of my army now.

If this was to me, I've never had 90% of my army in lifers, due to my raiding, and it will be a long, long, long time till it shall be down to 25% :)

Not directed at anyone, just giving a bit of advice from someone who's been there.

Also proving that lifers really aren't much of a problem.

Lifers need to go... as I have 15 million of them. Wars do that. :P

Re: The Curse of Lifers

Lifers disadvantage those that are willing to fight to protect their alliances and friends.

Lifers advantage stat builders who prefer to sit and watch, not play.

Lifers may have been logical once but they need to go now.

Are they that different? There battles have encompassed entire careers and lives within the game, the most bitter and epic of enemies, neither will leave while the other stands... the ultimate climax, will it ever come?
Who knows. One things for sure, the Freedom Fighter is in it for the long haul, its in her head now,
and she must save the world or die trying.

I worked up my <modded> off to get to where i am vanilla boy. :-D

Oh and btw, having to fight a pesky annoyance for 8 months who doesn't let you get a proper defence because he'd mass it, didn't make it anything better.

And raven. if you're going to mass some Trill+ defence you're be going to get supers which means i don't know how you want to untrain those and get extra lifers :)

It's not at all about how many or how big wars you fight. It's about how you fight them. And if you do things right then you can finish a war with a bigger army than you started out with.

funny quote... Martin is one of the best players in this game and he doesnt need to be in a xCOP alliances as some1 I quoted.

Since I know him, he was in AK, I talk to him sometimes. LOD and LOT had a very long war with AK. And tbh, not every1 has to fight in wars all the time. Its up to him or every1 else to decide
