because if you have to many lifers because you cant untrain them they just take up army size and if you are over the raid cap and have say 200mil lifers it is just a waste of space to have them

Not so much a waste of space, but an inconveniance.
Firstly, i know that with about 200m lifers, i make with Nox and Critical 7B/turn. Which means, without a defense, i'm worth farming every 1.5 hours. And there's no other way to reduce that value i get, short of killing lifers.
Also, it's harder to recover. If they buying cap is lets say 220m, and you have 200m lifers, you can only ever move around 20m UU. Where as, killing some, whilst reducing army size, allows more space for you to buy more, and have more units to be able to be moved around.

Re: A lifers Question
More lifers = less flexibility to maneuver and trade UU.
If you aren't doing anything but banking turn income, then you won't worry about it... but if you raid a lot or trade UU often, you want that flexibility.
Nothing as annoying as finding a huge raid, but being too close to the raid cap to take full advantage of it. I actually came extremely close to hitting
the raid cap with my latest raid find.

Re: A lifers Question
Lifers become a problem when you are ascending all the way.
Once you get over the trade cap you have to get rid of them if you want to get into G&R range and keep your PPT for ascending.

I am now ascended to unknown. When I began ascending I sent all my UU to a friend that had the room and he kept it untill my last 4 ascensions then he send it 30 mil after each ascension. I now have only 115 mil lifers and never used any to kill AC. the point is use as few UU as possible while ascension period, just enough to keep you ascending

Do you really think I didn't use everything in my power to use as few UU as possible?
Not everyone has friends that have the room.
It is a major problem to most.
P.S. 115m lifers with a 150m army? hmmm, seems like a problem to me.
