Lifer Suicide

Can the first person to use this new update post here so we can all laugh at you.

I'll happily train 1mil AC for anyone that would like to kill off 5mil of their lifers :-D

idea for update was good, the ratio however makes it somewhat pointless, I can't even see people like STI who has units to burn wasting 5mil to kill 1 mil AC :?

Re: Lifer Suicide

The idea is to have a way for people with too many lifers to get rid of them. The death of the AC's is just a bonus.

Re: Lifer Suicide

yes, exactly, if your fighting some1, and you wanna get rid of your lifers, why not take some of his AC agents with them, its not a tactic many ppl are gonna use.

i am one of the people effected by the "lifer problem" and I really don't see it as a problem.....yep it kills off my lifers...then they are dead! they don't suddenly turn up as untrainable units :?

having those 5mil lifers generating income is far more valuable

Re: Lifer Suicide

well, what if you reach the 100 mil mark, and the plauge kicks in, if you had say 30-40 mil lifers why not get rid of some to get more UU before hitting the plauge again since its harder to build up once it hits.

It would have been better just to remove lifers, really. They've long since outgrown their purpose.

erm I am approaching 100mil and I have over 30mil lifers........I am still confused as to why this is an issue... yes you are right the plague does kick in at 100mil....killing 5 mil lifers and letting another 5mil build as uu...doesn't stop the plague :?

i know it doesnt stop the plauge, but wouldnt you rather have a 100 mil army size and 90 mil untrainable units? or a 100 mil army size and only like 70 mil untrainable units?

Actually i would have to disagree, I think we havnt begun to see the real impact of lifers, and wont now. (The real effect would of been people slowly not being able to fight as many wars, because of having to train/retrain AC ect.)

Why kill lifers? If your in a war, at 75mil units, you can kill some AC, and make room for more uu to raid of the enemy, good?

There are many uses for this, its going to take a wise tactician to actually use it though.

Re: Lifer Suicide

yes, see that could work good, especially if another server wide war broke out, lol. i think the updates are good, the main thing ppl gotta remember tho is that the main purpose is getting rid of lifers, killing AC agents are a nice bonus. if your not gonna use it cus you dont think theres a problem with your lifer count than dont use it, no reason to complain about an update just cus you wont use it yourself. every1 was complaining about making a way to get rid of lifers, and they finally got one but they complain cus they will have to send a ton of lifers to kill a small amount of AC, but the thing ppl keep forgetting is that its an update to kill lifers not AC, just keep it in mind guys.
