Miners can be turned into lifers infinite amount of times

[Dante_666]

Um i discovered this while muking around on my accouunt
you can untrain how many miners arent lifers and then train them again to get more lifers

ands it can be done untill u have less than 10 miners left

i dont know wether you should be able to do this but it can effect what you lose when you ascend meaning anyone who did this wouldnt lose their income after ascention.

Its how the game works. A percentage of how ever many UU are turned to lifers when they are trained into miners

Before you ascend for the first time its better to use your 1000 GnR to get Full supporter status.

then when you ascend you can broker your untraiend units (miners etc) to a friend without losing your army. Except of course for supers.

therefore training all your miners into lifers is a lil redundant. remember lifers cant be trained into anything else, and are only useful for Lifer suicide and Income.

I could reply.
I would say something like what Tek said, but with a lot of big words and stuff.

So just listen to Tek.

Well you could add that it really sucks to have 100+mill lifers, so really, watch your lifer count.

Oh, so true!
I absolutely hate my 65m lifers on my 82m account.. >_< Don't get yourself in that position, I implore you for the sake of your fun!

[Dante_666]

Ok then
i guess if u were like me and had a smaller accoun tthen it wouldnt make a big difference but being stuck with 65 mill units that a redundant could be anoying
i think 65 mill is my largest ever army size times about 12

[GeneralChaos]

I have 70mill+ Lifers, but you can use Lifer Suicide to lower the number if you really want too.

in the very beginning it is a great way to grow, buying lifers from market and such. It is actually the way i was trained to grow when i was young. But in time it carrys signifigant disadvantages. You need to switch to keeping/Buying UU over lifers as soon as your economicly able.

[Spyridon]

If that ever happens to me, I'll go on a lifer killing spree.

[BenjaminMS]

*starts to reserve a vacuum-sealed off bunker for his assassins in case Spy gets too much lifers*

[Lu Bu]

is it possible to have an army size of 0 then? considering you have only lifers and you send them all on a lifer suicide mission?

[Seaborgium]

intresting thought Lu

[BenjaminMS]

Interesting... but then you'd have had 0 supers from the start of your account/after ascending, and have everything trained into miners (lifers). But yes, I guess it's possible. But after 24 hours you'll have an army again for sure, since having 0 UP is impossible (minimal 1)

[Lu Bu]

Yea, It would be funny to see someone ascended without an army size though heh

[Sarevok]

lol, yup, would be awesome. Try massing them.
Though, do they stop and say "no" if they KNOW there isn't enough of them (eg, 3l = 1ac, so 2 is bad?)
