Merc bug

[SystemJ1]

Ive been trying to buy mercs all morning and it wont let me. It tells me my limit (You can have a maximum of 3,871,845 Trained Mercs.) But it wont let me buy more than 118,449, and those are the only mercs i have. I keep getting this message: You do not have enough resources to pay, are attempting to get no product, or are over your merc limit.

Im not any where near my limit and yes i have more than enough naq to buy them.

[Caprila]

Do you have enough supers?

[SystemJ1]

yes i have 2.6 mil suppers trained atm.

[Sarevok]

Is it the right TYPE? i THINK it used to be ANY supers you had, could be pared with a merc, but now, i think they fixed it to say attack -> attack and defense -> defense. If you have like 100k attack supers, but 2.5m defense supers, or vice versa, and are trying to get 1m merc for attack, it won't let you

[SystemJ1]

That could be but i only have 65k defence suppers and am trying to buy more defence mercs. If its a ratio of defnce for defence then i should only be able to buy 65k not 165k right?

[Sarevok]

True depending on the ratio of your merc level. However, say you had 200k before, and now only 63k, but had 163k mercs left from a massing or something, then you can i believe. Did you buy them all recently with only 63k supers, or before that

[SystemJ1]

I sold them all off the see if somthing in the codeing was just "stuck" then bought them back all with the same number of supers in defence and attack. The number of mercs it said i could have didnt change either.

[Sarevok]

The total number would not change. That is defined of a sum of both your attack and defense super soldiers.

Any chance you can post an image? Or PM me an image if you'd prefere the whole community not to see it, and i'll see what i can determine from that

[SystemJ1]

I can do that, i just need to know how Ive been told once before how to take and post a screen shot but i cant remember.

[Sarevok]

Print Screen or "Prt Scr" is usually located above your arrow keys, at the top of the keyboard. Press that button, it'll take the shot, and open an image editor like paint, and paste the image (ctrl+v)

When your posting, there should be an "upload image" at the bottom of the post page, using that locate the image, and add it. If it doesn't work for you, send me an e-mail at my MSN address, I'll have a look, and if i can't work it out, try and post it myself for others

[SystemJ1]

Ok see if this works[spoiler]

[minisaiyan]

can u spoiler it? and maybe do another one containing your defence supers- i assume it is less than 92144 or w/e the number is

it should be your number of defence supers +80% or something

[SystemJ1]

You are coorect on the Defnce suppers, i had just about 100k at the time i took that shot.

So is that the consenses, i have to have the same number of defence supers as mercs i want to buy?

Also sorry for not putting that in a spoiler, oops

EDIT:

NM thanks for all the help every one. After reading Aesthetics of Hate post i toiok another look at the wording on the merc page and it is paired to your defence supers or attack supers.

[Sarevok]

You can have 105%, so 105k defense mercs, but good to see it resolved
