Maximum Spies For Sabotage

Currently the maximum number of spies you can send per sabotage is 99,999. Unfortunately this means that several players in the game cannot be sabbed at all. I'd dare say everyone who has spy level 23 is in this position and I think that this sort of untouchableness (if that's even a word) should not be so easy to obtain. Even though I am one of these players I still think the maximum should be increased to 999,999. Then if weaker players want to try sending more than 500,000 spies to sab someone then so be it, let them suffer the cost. It's just a case of, the game is progressing more. Just like when the maximum number of weapons you could own was 62,000. That was increased because more and more people were able to exceed that limit. And it should be the same case with this. It's actually come to the stage where it's necessary to send more than 99,999 spies on a sabotage. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope it get's changed, shouldn't be too difficult.

well... prior is about to have level 24, so that should help the situation some.

Are you sure - I seem to remember sending over 100k in the past, and there are 6 digits available in the box => 999,999? And I've certainly owned over 99,999 spies before.

You can definitely send over 99,999 on spying missions....I do it everyday. However, I'm not sure about the number of spies for sabotage...never wanted to sab someone that badly yet.

He still won't be able to sab the people with higher ranked covert (i.e. top 10). I myself have 300K spies and level 23. Even with level 24 he'll still need to send more than 99,999 for a sabotage.

Nope, I just checked again to make sure I'm not making an idiot of myeself. You can send 999,999 for recon, but only 99,999 for sabotage.

Even if say prior wanted to sabb you with X amount of spys it would still be stupid money to do it, so i dont think even if it could be done people would try it. Might be wrong but what ever

Hmmmm, I think it's just a good protection against people's own stupidity. Who would want to send a million spies to sab, and lose 100k in the process? No, I think being able to take out spies would be better. That way you could reduce the enemy's covert defense a bit before sending saboteurs. And you wouldn't have to lose 100k saboteurs to destroy a couple of weapons.
One way to fix it would be to "teach" the box to interpret "K" and "M". This would be even better when dealing with naq boxes. The bigger the numbers get, the easier it gets to screw up the number of 0's. Wouldn't it be easy if you could withdraw "800M" instead of "800000000". See? You're counting the 0's, I know you are. K's and M's would really help. And if you can use them in one box, then also the others, including spies. This should also reduce the number of topics asking for "new digits".

oh i see big guys are around this topic... weak player with 500K spies

...then i'm a very very weak player although i'm in the top30 atm

jeah it would be useful if we can type K,M,B into the boxes..for US...an average player don't usually see 1B but even 400M on hand...Ra spoke

I like the K, M and B idea
and it would macke it easer to type / spend quicker in the game so the little pepole like me can sepend it quick and u big people don't get the Naq I worked hard geting!

I suggested before 2 weeks PROPAGANDA in topic some sugestions, I found it as a good idea, but nobody was willing to answer it
