Mercs

Is it just me or does it seem like untrained mercs are in high demand? I just checked the page and there's none of them yet millions of attack and defending ones.

I suppose the update partly has to do with why there's 'more' trained mercs around and that there's a war going on ... but why are people still buying untrained like crazy? since they don't add to army size .. seems likely they don't do anything other than give APPs .. (maybe).

    actually you get more app with naq than you do mercs... it's far better to save the naq from the purchasing of untrained mercs and put that directly into ascending.

    That's hilarious.. I'm going to have to try that out.. and check the ascending thing when I get the chance :P


    So now that they don't even count towards army size.. I suppose they are truly worthless now? If so.. why are people still buying them up.. wouldn't the money be better spent on attack/defense mercs?

      There a collectors item now - those of us who buy them do it to collect them for fun. :)

      Or well, mostly...there are those who use them for APP....but meh. Collecting is more fun. :P

        I think I heard of someone have 96 mil untrained the other day...

        As far as mercs though. It makes me wonder how much it is going to lower the average naq hit. Before, the only real thing keeping hits going up was the rising price of uu's. With mercs in abundance though, that will change.
