Re: pairing merces
The update is a good one the only problem is many of us have been using the strategy and have bought all def supers so we can have att mercs now I have to go and buy att supers which will further deplete my uu where as if I would ahve known this was going to happen I would have used def mercs. If I would have been given even one days notice I would have been able to do things differently
Edit: upon further thought it isnt so bad to buy some att supers it will just give me more APs when I ascend lol

Re: pairing merces
gotta agree w/ svarun, as much as i hate this update, some time to mull things over wud have been EXTREMELY helpful...
i mean, this is a MAJOR change in attack/defence strategy now. on the bright side, people are gonna be more protected as all the attack mercs are gonna die

Re: pairing merces
its weird, max merc population i can buy is a few 100k below my total supers population, wat would happen if mercs out numbered the supers on atk or def?
the square root of -1 is chuck norris, for he truly is less than zero.
Aliens do exist, but the reason they never show their faces is because they don't see much significance in a race that idolizes chuck norris as it's weakest example.

Re: pairing merces
Its an intresting update, for one, people who ascend (in a reletivly short time), need to use mroe normal soldiers, as they wont be buying mercs as they wont be training supers
Another very good point, merc control levels. Im an LG+1, so i should be able to have 105% in mercs, as i can have merc control level 8. However, now i can only have a max of 100%, so whats happening here?
(I know Chris M (page1) already said the above part, but im curious to what is happening to it)

Re: pairing merces
I really like this update, although i can see lots of people got affected badly by it. (although in my opinion, it was there own fault in a way). now maybe my defence will be able to hold the amount of naq it SHOULD be able to hold!

Re: pairing merces
this merc thing is retarded it totaly ruins the merc control upgrades, we should at least get a refund on merc control upgrades.

Re: pairing merces
Get a refund on merc control? please grow up.
Its a great update, a bit inconvenient yes but at least now a lot of the random massing's may stop.
However, i'm extremely unhappy that it was suggested and put in straight away. Im hoping it was a one off since it was indeed a good idea, a few PLAYERS suggesting something and having iut put in right away though, is not something this game should have.
At all.

sorta makes the suggestions thread useless...
Just go find admin in chat and ask him yourself.

You would think so
Random massing will be reduced...but defence required to keep your naq will rise I guarantee you

Re: pairing merces
You can only have 105.00 percent (base of 25 plus 80 percent in upgrades) of your trained troops as mercenaries.
Beyond that, you do not have enough troops loyal to you to ensure compliance to your orders.
ADDITIONALLY - each Merc (attack or defence) is paired with a 'super soldier' (attack or defence). This means that you can only have as many attack/def Mercs as you have supers of that type.
Its impossible to get the extra 5% I should have on merc armies..........
I think it should be changed 1 super can be paired with 2 mercs...........
then it is possible to get higher merc counts above 100% for people like me
