Yeah, just noticed this... Does this actually constitute a rule? It's more of a recommenation than an actual standard for playing.
Also, how many troops do Mercs and Bandits gain every OOG?

The troop thing? Cause I've just been taking 25 every OOG Day, but that just seems kinda low, considering how far I have to go until the max...
And anyways, regarding my initial question, does that really constitute being a rule, or just more of a reminder to mods and Mercs? It doesn't provide any sort of instruction on how to play the game, and it even uses the word "recommended" in the passage...
Just a thought.

Well, it's the part that "They can join battles" that makes the point somewhat important. Also, bandits/mercs get 25 every internal day, we decided on that much--So you can raise your troop level. Sorry that wasn't clear enough.

Naw, that's okay. I'll just change how many I get starting tomorrow, I'm going to even try making the conversion.
But doesn't the first Rule about Mercs, about the "doing knock-off jobs" kinda contain participating in battles?

I have some questions/complaints about some of these rules.
No Lumas in a Koopa army, in another words. Keep a general theme.
I think outlawing it is outright lame. Now, is this meaning that you need to do a project for "out of theme" troops, or that they're banned? I don't really think banning out of theme troops should be allowed. Sure, discouraged, looked down upon, and the like, but if I want to put Tatanga clones in my army, than I should be allowed.
Also, one “Uber War Machine” is allowed every army, which is much more powerful and bigger than normal. This can range from a 50-day project to a 200-day project, but no longer.
Does that mean someone who makes a fifty day UWM cannot make any more, because he's already made his, or is it like last wars where you could have 200 total UWM's. That's still the same amount of uberness, and if it's going to be limited at one, there's little reason not to just make a 200 one.
Their power decreases the more you have, with the limit being ten.
This sentence is rather extraneous- it really means what the one after it does.
Heroes and Champions do not count among officer and troop limits.
Could we clarify that it is optional to make one/many of your officers a hero/champion? Furthermore, could we clarify that the officer(s) then is taken out of troop limits?
each added workline needs 500 Civilians to function.
It had been my interpretation that worklines cost no additional civilians; this was accounted for by the workline limit. So, yeah, I don't really understand the purpose of this rule, and really serves as a hindrance, not as a check.
May gain 75 troops a day, if troop cap has already been already reached.
I always thought troop cap meant the limit, as in, no more troops. Gaining troops beyond the limit takes the point out of a limit. If you look at the original text when Petey proposed the rule, it reads:
May gain 300 troops a Day, If troop cap already reached. Then 9 Days of every 40 Days worth of projects.
Now, the "If" in the second part of the sentence is capitalized. Also note that the second sentence has "Then" at the beginning, which seems rather useless, unless it is meant to be in the same sentence as "If the troop cap already reached." This means that there are two possible interpretations of the sentence:
May gain 300 troops a day, if the troop cap has already reached. Also may gain 9 days off every 40 days worth of projects.
OR
May gain 300 additional troops a day. If the troop cap is already reached, then 9 days off every 40 days worth of projects.
I personally think it is the latter, as that makes more sense.

Also, I was just thinking maybe somewhere we can add a rule or two about our currency, coins. It seems right now you can get 100 per internal day (or was is external?), but I really wanted to see if we could get some sort of coin collecting center or something.
EDIT: Oh, found that rule. So I guess no coin collecting centers either.

I mean, I revised this and generally control the rules...generally...but the administrators are more of the ones to talk; I'm just fairly certain you can't. You should ask vidguy.

Yeah, we agreed against it during Deluxe to get automatic extra-coin... things... You can do projects to get a small burst of Coins, but no Factory-type things.

Hey, where are the power switch rules? And that Bandit Power Switch thing I made isn't in there even though the majority said yes.

I probably forgot, because only a fraction of the forum voted. Have a mod edit it, I don't remember the details of it.
