can't buy defence mercs... why?

[kitkittan]

when I go to the market it says "You can have a maximum of 557,374 Trained Mercs.", but when I even train 1 defence merc it says "You do not have enough resources to pay". I tried training untrained mercs or attack mercs and it's ok, but everytime I try getting defence mercs I keep getting you don't have enough resources to pay...
can anyone tell me why? and if it's a bug or something can an admin fix it?

u need to have att/def supers equal(ish) to the number of mercs too

e.g. u cant have 100,000mercs unless u have 100,000 supers of the same type.

u got those?

well it says "You can only have 55.00 percent (base of 25 plus 30 percent in upgrades) of your trained troops as mercenaries."
must my train troops be super?
my troops are like this:
Attack Drone 0
Attack Clone 7,173
Attack Mercenaries 1,003
Defense Drone 1,000,000
Defense Clone 6,235
Defense Mercenaries 8,106

I've tried getting 8k attack mercs and it also doesn't work...

so I should have 1 mill super in order to get 500k def mercs?

Defense Drone 1,000,000
Defense Clone 6,235
Defense Mercenaries 8,106

^^^^^^ this is the bit to look at mate,

it lets u have 8K mercs, because its around the amount of supers u have trained (lets u have a % more depending on race/ascention lvl)

soooooooooo, as u only have 6K defence supers (Clones) u can only have 8k defence mercs.

if u train up more supers (clones) u can buy more mercs
