its a compromise.
the goal is to create an 'AI' force to contend with. yer right, if no rebuild/repair/rebuy --they would eventually just be a big farm.
this way, they at least grow att/def/etc at a reasonable rate, but are 'stuck' at where they were created regards ascension, techs, UP, etc -- only the 'server wide everybody gets it' stuff affects them...
will this open up the game to future AI players? hmmmm...

i can sense quests...

and i thought the idea of clones was for them to stay at the power they were created at? not get stronger training to replace lost troops is one thing, but training EXTRA troops and buying them weapons they will increase in str. (but then again they will eventualy be farmed so much they wont have cash for many weapons)
