If you sell you strike then buy it back when the turn changes you get closer to the full amount.

1 trill defense is nothing at all, so it is unlikely to protect even 10 billion to be honest, especially if you have no covert or assassin power like a lot of people.

people with no assassin power or covert need to stop playing. You should play the game right or not at all.

Considering the server has no ingame guide, and probably only a fraction of players have forum accounts, and considering how different assassins work in ascension compared to main, I can see how people can make foolish mistakes. Opening up the ascension forum to all was a good step of course.

To say they should stop playing because they do not 'play right' is silly though, because only by playing will they learn how things actually work. (Or by alliance members, friends, ect, but even many established players in main have little to no clue how the server works.)

Personally I think they should play how ever they feel their is no right way to play this game that is why it is so good. Their are better ways but no definite path one must take so perhaps some people don't want assassins.

i agree with this. i didnt know what all the buttons were for until i used them. i didnt know how to set up my account until i talked with others about theirs. now i know and i think as a result i am adding TO the game play on the server as i know how to play on thre server.

i am also trying to teach others who want to learn. there is no guide and it can be overwhelming for some so i offer to help out with the basic stuff.

i never understood why more people cant show a little community spirit and try to teach instead berate and tell people not to play.

My rule? I don't hit for any, because all of the good hits would result in the complete destruction of my ascension account.

According to Omega and DD who like to farm me though, 30 bil DMU on my 5 tril defense is enough for them... Makes me sad too because I get the feeling that for their ranks, they wouldn't even need that little DMU, so it seems like they just do it to tick people off for not apparent reason.

30b dmu is 3m life force, so perhaps understandable.

I don't know why everyone is so surprised. We told you that we were going to be farming the crap out of you after this update hit. Many of you act surprised that we are farming. Sorry about your luck. You guys wanted these updates, you got them. I didn't ask for them, I didn't want them, but I am making do with what I have right now. Good luck building a defense. My strike is currently in excess of 100 T right now and I have the CS from hell. Fortunately for most of you I am being quite perspicacious at this moment and only farming for amounts of DMU in excess of 2 T. So if you never keep that much out in the open, you are golden.
