Is there a maximum amount of turns?

As with the topic title:
Is there a maximum amount of attack turns. i.e. if i just sit for a week accumulating attack turns will i have a large amount of turns to attack with at the end, or does there reach a maximum, for example 100 attack turns, such that the rest of the time i spend is purely a waste?

Also the same question for covert turns, is there a maximum here too?

covert turns reach a maximum of 50, unless a recent change occured without me realising it.

attack turns have no limit as far as anyone but forum knows.

things like training allow 3 digits but turns i think 4, since ive seen people with over 1000 turns.

I think the limit is only decided by what type forum used in his database:

Code: Select all

Type  Bytes  Minimum Value  Maximum Value  
    (Signed/Unsigned)  (Signed/Unsigned) 

TINYINT  1  -128  127 
    0  255 
SMALLINT  2  -32768  32767 
    0  65535 
MEDIUMINT  3  -8388608  8388607 
    0  16777215 
INT  4  -2147483648  2147483647 
    0  4294967295 
BIGINT  8  -9223372036854775808  9223372036854775807 
    0  18446744073709551615 


INT is most likely, which would limit it at 2,147,483,647 turns. Good luck to anyone who wishes to test how far it really goes.
Even if it was only a smallint, you could save turns for almost 2 years before reaching the max.

As soon as you build an idiot proof system, somebody else builds a better idiot.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.
