Lifer reset

How many people have lets say, 1/3 of their army as lifers?
LOADS.

This is annoying, I mean like 2/3 of your army is actually usable, ascensions mess up and such because you cannot untrain all your miners and stuff.

What I am suggesting is that, you have a one time chance to reset your lifers all to miners. Just ONCE. No way of getting it back, so if you stuff up well you stuff up lmao!

Now as a warning, if people click on it and instead of it just going to reset lifers, make it like the ascended button. Give out a few warnings before any newb or n00b clicks it.

Now I do believe there should be a limit as such, because what if a small guy/girl clicks it to see what it does. Maybe this option should be available to people who have over a certain amount of lifers. 10mil? 20mil?

i dont have that many lifers but they always seem to be a cructh to me when i play i mean, cant we have like a ingame market where we can spend all our 3 MTs on resetting a % of our lifers in regualr miners?

That sounds good, instead of reseting for free.

LOL the hole point in lifers is so they are in the position for LIFE. Sure I have a third of my army as lifers as well and sure i wouldnt mind having them reset but when its been made clear from the start that that was what was happening i think its pointless now reseting them.

I think it'd be great.

No it should be the same

Lifers are just that ' LIFErs' they are stuck in the mines forever as a punishment for training, retraining etc.

The only way i can see this happening is if lifers were eventually make more per turn than miners which i cant see happening either.

If anything, I am for the idea that SGC mentioned. Make it so that 3 mt's lower your lifer % by 10% or something. For someone with only 1 mil lifers that wouldn't be much, but for someone with 50 mil it would be significant.

And that would make the game even more uneven. Like somebody with 30 mil army would get few mil miners with MT?

But maybe it's a good idea it could be done just once. And something like you can untrain certain percent of lifers, but 50% of that percent are not able to survive after years and years of work underground.
That way you gain some UU's from lifers, but you still have some loses for that action.

Just an idea to have the lifer count as 0 instead of 10mil or 20mil or however many you got.

It should not really make the game unbalanced really because you still have the same army. Maybe 10% of those lifers die as they return to miners. Who knows. Make this idea better, not shone it.
