who says attack turns price should drop economics brought them to their current price.
and lifers aren't a stat much like attack supers so don't need to be able to be killed it isn't ascension so this update should go ahead whether the ratio is improved or not

Re: alternate use for lifers - AC killers...
Forum added the ability for lifers to kill AC so that some could get rid of them in a way with some benefit...

The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."

Re: alternate use for lifers - AC killers...
I wouldn't worry much about it escalating. The only reason that lifers were used to kill AC units is because people were complaining about the possibility of entire armies of lifers and unable to do much. They were also complaining about AC being untouchable. So he killed two birds with one stone and made it so lifers could kill AC units, but in the process you lose more lifers than you kill in AC. So if you are fighting against someone 1/15th your size this could be useful as a military tactic, I guess..otherwise it is more to placate the people who complained about all lifer armies.

Re: alternate use for lifers - AC killers...
if a person has a decent password that nobody else knows and follows the suggested guides for said password ( being unique for each site, no birthdays or mum's names etc ) there wouldn't be an issue with ppls accounts being hacked in the first place.
As for the update.....it's an update. some like it...some don't. Personally I like it even though I'll probably never use it.
Jason can't please everyone. but it's going to be coming in so live with it.

Im just gona larf when people whine about how much they loose in wars now that they can loose lifers, rofl.
you cant LOOSE lifers... i dont think. The only way you can loose them is if you want to destroy an enemys AC, if you dont want to loose your lifers dont destroy their AC and then "female dog" and moan.
I dont like this update either

Re: alternate use for lifers - AC killers...
then who would you kill the lifers, if you are saying no stat shood be left safe then we surly need some way to kill lifers and miners other wise the update is just ponitless, and what about ac lvls will you have to get differnt lvls of miners to kill them, overall this idea is kinda dumb.
and if lifers can do this you then you shood also beable to lose them all after ascension like everything else

Re: alternate use for lifers - AC killers...
nothing should be able to kill miners and lifers, that would surely ruin the game.

Cause lets face it, AC IS hard to kill, if AC was made like SAB/SPY in that you have a destroy inteligence attack option like in assencion then there would be no need for this update, as ACers would die thru attrition as they AC the enemy.
Cause lets face it, a LOT less people would AC if they had to send them up against the enemy spies only, and they were going to take losses no matter what.
If nothing else, it would make covert turns more useul (and the lack of ATs nessacary for ACing would drop the AT price and stop that batch of whining)
but then the problem would be
only getting 10 Sabs/Acs
if poeple go on critical it makes it alot harder to AC
you would run out of covert turn way to fast
5% or 50% loss there be a bit of risk involved

Re: alternate use for lifers - AC killers...
I see this more as an update to kill off your lifers, rather than ti kill AC. I think it would only be used against some your reeeeeaaaalllllyyyyy pissed off at. and since you can only kill AC to 1/5th of your lifers, i dont think killing AC is going to be a common thing.
So everyone stop complaining, you HAVE a way to kill AC, and you HAVE a way to reduce your lifers. wanna keep some UU safe? attack units, just dont attack. Or now you could even use miners, considering you can now get rid of the excess lifers storing them would give you.

And your logic for that is? I really dont get you anyone stupid enough to kill 3lifers for 1AC is an idiot anyway. Since you obviously dont want to use it why are you complaining itll give you an advantage over the less mentally gifted.
