Ok, murders are supposed to kill 3% of troops unsheilded or 1% shielded. However, I try murdering Arty, who's in first on WOA. His starting NW is $485,421,417. 1% of that would be $4,854,214.17, roughly $4.85 mil. After 3 murders, (a combined total that should be at least $10 mil) his NW is $484,069,216. It looks like shielded murders are doing about .1%, rather than 1%.

Freen. . . why did you break it?

Hmm, just realized this could be hidden NW. If so, though, that really messes with emp. . .

I did not break anything.

Also, I don't know what his troop type distribution is and how that actually ties into neworth, but I don't think you can apply the 1% net troops killed, to 1% networth destroyed. Keep in mind that reserves, cash, food, land all give networth too.

as a macedon holding land, I think it is safe to say that more than 10% of his net is in murderable troops, so there is probably something wrong.

If you can hide enough net to set this up, then that is a problem by itself.

They could be on the public market.

They actually are on the PubMarket. So, no bug.

But, I'm going to come out and say that I think that's abusable/op. Sure, he has to pay for them, but when he's emping, he's probably not running turns much anyhow. It basically makes it so the only way to beat an emp is actually out net him, rather than murdering his troops away. HPR-ville much?

Just as it used to be...

We could do complicated stuff like murders affecting market troops or them participating in attacks, but instead look at my simple fix in the Market Changes thread:

Actually, not quite. Net could be stored and protected, but it didn't count until it was vulnerable. I could have all the net in the world on the market and still lose a set, if I didn't pull it.

I've responded to your idea in that thread.
