Maybe add weps that you can buy for lifers, to increase the ratio of kills to lifers.

An idea that was brought up is to allow the use of Untrained Mercs in the manner of Lifers in these situations.

Better bombs? I like the sound of that.

I see what you mean. Targeting AC first will reduce the effectiveness against (attack) snipers though, which this update was aimed at. AC is best combated by building a defence of some sort.
With the 10% limit in place, killing AC first will effectively mean no attack troops die. :)

Then you should use something different to kill attack troops imo.

if they are ac'ing people who are not online,
there doesn't seem to be an effective way to stop the ac'ers from getting your mates' spies
no matter if you are rank 1...

No reason that the limits currently placed on the number of troops killed by lifers has to include AC units...

or that attack regulars have to have the same limits...

the kill rates are different, the daily kill limits can be too. :-k
