exact same number over at least two turns?
without changing?
cuz I needed atk mercs in that 60 minutes,
as did 3+ other members of my alliance...
and none of us got them.
I think this qualifies as a bug...
and further makes the case for a personal allotment of attack mercs per player.
(as per my suggestion in the suggestion box...)

No bug just means 6 people bought merciez on the turn change two turns in a row... My advice, be faster I can easily buy all 5m on the turn change from an iPod.. (did it 4 times in last three days)

I'm not inclined to agree Kikaz. If there was 6 people buying on turn change, and they all did what you said top do, there's be -25M, no -1M

No, it comes down to speed of tab changing and clicking buy.. Once it hits 0 you can no longer buy more for it to ever reach -25m 25 people would have to try and buy the last 1m mercs in the exact millisecond.

Different connection speeds would hamper some getting all the merc's they need or some people getting any at all.
Hardly a fair system I would think. Means you've a better chance in the US, and then depends on your connection speed in the US (unless the US is asleep
)
