I guess people got thier wish. All this market place update did was make the stronger that much stronger. Those that have ascended 5 to 6 times that have 10mil UU who dont care as much about lifers. While those that have not ascended 5 times are screwed now because they cant buy UU to keep up the pace on those with the 10mil UU.
Now if you want to slow down the whole sell of market turns. How about you make 25% of ALL UU bought from the market turn become lifers? It will slow down the rate of UU getting shifted around so people dont buy 3 turns off of other people. And at the same time those that dont have alot of UU who sell market turns can make themselves stonger. By getting 25% of the UU they buy for the other person. At that point its a win/win.

That aside - I would like to remind everyone that this thread is regarding lifers in general - not buying lifers from the market. Please ckeep on topic.

This poll is really screwed up. People who are against the update probably would prefer to see the 10% miner penalty go away instead of just leaving things as they are. Now it appears more people like things like they are then not, even though only about a third of those voting voted that way
On topic though the training of miners is not only about greed. It is about keeping them from being lost. Train them as spies, and anti covert can take them out. Train them as attackers or defenders and lose them that way. Train them as the expensive assasins and watch them die if you attack someone with good covert.
So miners are the only safe place to put UU. By itself the 10% penalty was ok. With the new update though it makes things much more severe.

i have one question, if everyone here who hates the lifers so much, why dont you just not train miners??
there is where it comes down to, you want the naq and you want to trade them and you want to use them as other things, i personaly keep a bunch of guys as uu and a bunch as miners
well i train the uu into spys for later because of the raid function but still

Because we like having money to buy stuff with.

An unfortunate thing about that. A certain percentage of your UU become lifers, based on UP. And then there is raiding, preventing any one who wants to keep their UU from keeping out big numbers to make more Naq

Suprising as it may seem, not all of us have the time to sit there training and untraining spys to make money. I think its actually more expensive to do that. And as for trading UU, come on! Thats really not all that bright in the long term.

I think it would be a good idea if the 'lifers' did earn more, but were a separate train from miners. Just like you must train your 'advanced' attack and defense from the regular attack and defense, who are trained from UU, why not have lifers be the untrainable equivalent? For instance, it costs 1500 for a miner. Have it be like 10,000 for a lifer, but they earn 10 times what a standard UU earns.
UU = 20 naq
Miner = 80 naq
Lifer = 200 naq
But the lifer cannot be untrained. I don't know if this is a good idea, but the new market update changed the way some of us play. I lost my entire strategy for a fast increase in army size as a result. Now, if I want to continue to play like that I automatically lose 10% of them as lifers because I have to train them as miners. It's a pain in the butt.
I like that............. Also have Miners/Lifers/UU as seprate catagories in the market.
100,000 miners would mean 8mil a turn, 100,000 LIFERS would mean 20MIL per turn.
Especily with the 10k lifer train price........ makes it more expensive but a good investment.
100 lifers would cost 1mil naq to train
20k per turn per 100 lifers
50 turns youd make back the money
