Ascension / Mercs

I have a couple of bugs I need to report

The first one is I ascended last week - hoping to have a nice run of ppts so I could rebuild without the hassle of been attacked.

But when I went to do my second PPT for the week I was informed I had already did 2 ppts for the week. (well last week - the market just reset - I tried to do it before the reset)

You have used 1 trades and/or donations this week.
You have used 2 PPT bonuses this week. 1 of those ppt's were for my ascension).

That is what my market looked like.

Second bug is I seem to have more mercs then I should for the number of supers I have

Defenders 50,000
Super Defenders 94,000
Defending Mercenaries 151,000

that is no bug... it is a feature... the ascension gives a ppt... and that takes one of your 2 ppt bonus slots...

No I always believed that you received ppt as a bonus for ascending - just like you receive resources like ats, uus, and now merlin.

from what we have understood, a %age of overlimit mercs will leave you each turn... at least its supposed to be that way...

In regards to the Ascension PPT...

If you use your 2 PPTs for the week, you get a free 3rd one :)

each Merc (attack or defence) is paired with a 'super soldier' (attack or defence). This means that you can only have as many attack/def Mercs as you have supers of that type. (plus 10% for each merc level)


guessing you have a few merc levels

You can only have 105.00 percent (base of 25 plus 80 percent in upgrades)

I am a LG+1

I thought that merc upgrades also increased the 1:1 ratio of Supers:Mercs since the merc update was brought in?

that just means that, say u have 500k attackers and 500k defenders, you can have a total of 1.05mil. with the 10% thingy you can still have like 700-800k attack mercs with only 500k SS. thats how i understand it, and use it anyway...

Yes I have the 105% merc level

but when I posted this I had the following

Defenders 50,000
Super Defenders 94,000
Defending Mercenaries 151,000

if my calculation is correct I should of only have been able to have

98,700 mercs because of my 94K supers

if you add in the normal defenders 105% of 144K is 151K approx
