1. is there a cap to how much you can upgrade your unit production under "training" ? or could you in theory get endless amount of units per turn (if you could pay for upgrades)
2. sorry for asking this, but i really couldn't find the answer... when you ascend, are you put under PPT for two days, and when that time is over you can go back to PPT for 2 more days? (meaning when i ascend, will i get 2 or 4 days (or more?) to build up my army before i'm a target again)
with my current income i'd be a golden target for anyone when i ascend... tons of naq per turn and zero defence o_O
had atleast one more question but forgot it... oh well, will be back when i remember

cheers, and good luck to you all.
*EDIT*
have one more question, but to avoid spamming the forums with one new thread each question i put my next question on the bottom of this thread

200k UP
You need 49,999,999,999 naquaduah, 4,999,999 untrained and 1,999,999 trained units.
You would get a 5% bonus to all stats.
2mil UP
You need a minimum base unit production of 999.
You need 499,999,999,999 naquaduah, 49,999,999 untrained and 19,999,999 trained units.

You get a standard 2 day ppt for free, which to my knowledge also does not apply to the 2 PPT per week limit. So with good timing you could effectively have a 10 day ppt.

it counted towards my 2 for the week when i ascended a while ago. i had only used 1 PPT and it counted ascending as the other one. i dont care really, i just use the PPTs to increase my bank size but i thought it didnt count towards your 2 for the week but if you've only used one i guess it does.

yeah, it does count as one of your weeks PPTs. But afaik, you can still get the 10 day PPT. Do two PPTs and then ascend so the market will reset during your free ascension PPT and then use both of the following weeks PPTs.

you're also right. IF you have used both your PPTs for the week and then ascend you get a third for the week. i'm rather fond of using 2 PPTs ascending and then using the next weeks PPTs for 10 day vacation of sorts.
use a PPT on tuesday and then on thursday, ascend on saturday then get another PPT on monday and then wednesday.
but if you have not used both PPTs the PPT you get from ascending counts towards your two PPTs for the week.

i appreciate the replies, but somehow replies in just about anything in this game only makes me more confused than i was when i asked

i have not ascended yet, and thus have not SS... so, to re-phrase my question and divide it into two

1. when i ascend, will i be put under PPT, and for how long? (yes, put under PPT, not "will i be able to put myself under PPT")
english is not my native language ^^ so sorry if i seem slow, but..
2. how many days of PPT in a row can i get max when i ascend if i didn't have SS on ascending, and how would i do that? (if it's complicated)
i just know i will screw up at ascension, and i just know i will screw up again once ascended

1. yes and for 48 hours.
2. you can have two PPTs before and two after if you plan them correctly making 5 total. i think this is the answer you're looking for. i dont know lol

another question...
read somewhere (i think) something about having to make 300 posts on the forums before being allowed to advertise trades in the forum, or something like that.. searched for "300 posts" but found nothing, read the market forum rules but found nothing... anyone care to fill me in?
