the amount of mercs someone can get was updated a decent time ago
it was better than before but i think the amount of mercs per turn needs to be rased again
i was clicking like a madman and i got 2K mercs,
when you do that you can only choose one so you cant get any defense mercs either which is also annoying for some players
most people just buy mercs from traders now and end up pay massive amounts of naq for them
so can we please get some more mercs?

I personally think the merc system should work differently

the mercs will fight for you but they want to get payed.
I think the system should be that whoever wants mercs can put his bid onto the merc marketplace how much he will pay for one merc and how many he wants.

then the person who offered the most per merc gets as many as he asked for (of course not more than are generated per turn).

The interesting part would be that this wouldn't be an open auction. everyone can put in their bids but they only know how much they offered so you won't know how much to offer to pay the least per 1 merc but still get as many mercs as possible.


Mers want money and they will only fight for the one who pays the most.
Yes, i know this system has loopholes since some people could keep buying mercs at prices that are high but still accepteble to some few players so therefore i think there should be possible to buy 50k def and att mecrs each the way you can buy normally and another 50k each with the auction system

Wow, I like it

Me too.

Either way, there needs to be more mercs.

yeah good job mate
i think maybe they should continue with the merc system the way it is so small players can also compete to get mercs and have your suggestion because its the big players that buy millions of mercs at a time and this would make it accessible but also costly
nice one

well you wouldn't be able to buy millions at once with this system either but for those who want more mercs could get a few more but at a higher price ^^

moved from another "more mercs" topic that has just been started:

It should be increased to at least 500 k a turn. With people with slow connections you might get 999 a turn tops because by the time things load they are all gone.

I think we should look at it like this.

Mercs are a % of the total population of the universe. As the universe itsself grows then so should the amount of mercs in it.

Take a sample. Say the top 100 accounts. Average their total populations and set the merc amonts to coencide with that amount. As the top 100 accounts grow in size so will the amount of mercs in the market. This way you don't have to keep changing the amount. It will grow as the game grows.

Just an idea.

Never any mercs available, all horded by the top ranks.

More like hoarded at the middle. Top players just pay the mid level players for their mercs. I don't even bother clicking the merc market. I don't see the point when I can go to someone else and buy 200k-300k of them for only a measly 20bill.

lol, i dont even bother for mercs... if you can tell me a way to get over 5m, and 500k a week after that... maybe

Pay a little extra to buy from the medium players like Hensenshi does. im sure you can afford it
