The Plague

[The Elf]

I'm not a noob been playing for about a year now. But was just wondering what the plague is? I know it comes into effect once you have an army size of 100mil.
If you have a UP of 1 mil how would it effect that?

im not too sure of the exact details but:
if you are over 100mil army size the plague kills just over 2000 units per turn randomly.

as for a up of 1mil; good luck with getting that, the cost is tremendous

Aye, I don't think anyone's actually reached 1 mill (Raw at least )
But yes... Plauge kills of units, and it also stops you from using the market/trading. So your options are really limited once you hit that size: Either you flounder, drop back down, or push ahead - and floundering isn't a really good option.

Alot of accounts are holding below 50mill (which is were 'fear of plauge' hits).

Here is a thread where some of the complaints about the fear of, and actual plauge are discussed:

Thanks for the link to the other thread Xeno.

But it sounds as if once you reach above 50 mil you should start working on having an enormous UP. That way you can still grow and the game won't be boring. (Its what I plan to do ).

Also it is to my understanding that you can still raid for UU's until you reach an army size of 75 mil.

to get 1mil up from 1 is:
333,333 UP upgrades
At a cost of: 833,334,166,665,000 Naquadah

so if you got that much naq then go for it, i would... i will
