its because you have a UP of something like 100 and 100 into 48 turns is 2 and 2 left so you get a fraction and it rounds it up so when you have more than half an extra man it will say one more than you have :)

? i only partly understand the second half of the post. the game always has 1 more unit than what you really have. it really gets annoying cuz he "disappears" at odd times.

He means it's because of the way the game rounds things off due to your UP not coming out exactly even after divided by 48 turns in a day. So instead of the game saying you have 5.x UU, it just says 5 UU. The extra shows in your total army size, even though you can't train the 0.x into something. Different parts of the game round the displays up in different ways for display reasons.

Sometimes though it WILL let you train that 0.x UU into something, and then shows you have -1 UU afterwords.

ok the 6 drone popped up. and the numbers matched. now its working on number 7 even though i only have 6 and it says 7.

it all makes sense now. personally i dont think it should be part of the "total" until the unit is actually finished.
