i was sitting eating a bowl of cheeros before work while watching cops, and watching my sgw account was looking in the merc section and kinda had a idea pop in my head.

what if mercs were used for more powerfull ascentions like now people use them but need huge quanitys of untrained mercs but instead of just that what if they made some extra naq or something like a labor force or miners allocate maybe mercs to perduce something so little guys and bigger guys can make more resources rather it be like 1 extra turn or couple extra bill naq per 20 mill untrained merc etc just something to make there worth a little more then ascending...

simply put alot of people dont use them and there a waste so why not use them to allow more resources like turns,naq,men etc or allow people to make them in to specialized laborers kinda like attack and def mercs only for minors or something and maybe allow people to have em ??

just a thought, sorry for the bad grammar was in a hurry im already 30mins late for work

I like that idea, I have mercs but I find them really just a waste some of the time, and I would really like if they could be used for making naq. instead of giving me a couple five billion or so extra attack or def.

I think you mis understand. "Untrained mercs" offer you NO stat boost of any kind, no def and no att.

1) One untrained merc costs about 1,500 naq.

2) Based on your suggestion, 10mil untrained mercs will give you 1bil a turn.

3) 10mil times 1,500 equals 15bil. did you know that you can raid 15 bil in one fell swoop? so now that i have 15 bil, i can buy 10 mil untrained mercs and start earning 1bil/turn.

I think that you will find a lot of people objecting to this, including yourself.

I dont think those with over 1 billion untrained mercs will...

the greatness of the game lies in the hardship of acquiring resources (except for those who actually spend $$). the resources, the whole account, becomes a valuable commodity.

if everyone suddenly has 10mil untrained mercs earning 1bil/turn at a purchase price of only 15bil, then the hardship of earning resources is taken away from the game. heck the complexion of the entire game will change.

I like how un trained Mercs are now. Don't do anything ... and it's great IMO. It really isn't fare to have them start generation naq because I am pretty sure there's people out there with 1bill untrained. I got pretty close but I ascended half a year ago. Strange as it sounds, UU mercs are extremely popular for some reason. Any time you check the mercs market 15 minutes into the turn, it's almost always at zero. Means someone is buying them for SOME purpose, just that we don't know what it is.

And that is exactly why a use for them should not be introduced.

I didnt know they made income..

They don't.

Untrained Mercs have no use, except small amounts of APP.... and a small alternative to a bank.

APP can be one of the reasons for getting them. When I was doing it however was just to see how much I could get. I think I got up to 500mill or so before I ascended. Three main functions for UU mercs do seem to standout however;

1. Banking money with an interest of 40 percent naq loss. Buying for 1500 each, sell back for 900.
2. Because it's fun to have lots of Useless UU mercs.
3. APP for ascending. (Which I think is pretty .. worthless though.)

I gather them like kids gather baseball cards or comic books. Its just a pretty number, nothing more, nothing less.

There was once a small market for collectors where you could buy them quickly and sell them on for a little profit

I have had my grubby little fingers in many pies of naq making in this game and that was one of them

I think something should be done with them , maybe they give a bonus to people, regarding army size. Could be good. Oh and kill Lore ones, damn it how in hell u have so many or what for anyway dude... he he

I have over 1 billion Untrained Mercs, and I think this is a genius idea!


Please, add some income bonus to Untrained Mercs, or really give me any bonus

I already have a huge head start on many

I need to get another 2 billion of them i think.............I will start now.
