I don't know if this has been brought up at all but i was thinking that why not give us a discount when adding troops to our armies... Everytime you want to double you troops size for example; 250 troops - 18.75 geos and 500 - 37.5 geos and 1000 - 75 geos and so on... But what about if we want to get come we say 1000 troops, why not drop the price a little and only multiple it by 0.80 instead of 1? So if 500 troops - 37.5 geos then 1000 - 67.5 geos... (Multiple by 0.80 instead of 1.00)...
Just a thought...

How would you feel if your work offered you less money to do the same thing as someone else earning more???
We want to keep this game as close to real life as possible.

It's not the same but if you want to bring that in fine... You get R5000 basic, then tax hits at come we say 25% (we wish) and you only get out R4000... If someone else makes R10000 and he get's taxed, he only gets out R8000... And so... It's all the same... Figures may be wrong above by me not good at math... 2 + 4 = 7 right? Mmmmm
Like i said, this was just a thought...

Never heard of bulk buying? hehe
The point is more stock is shifted in one go so it is convienient to the seller (plus they are guarenteed a large stock shift with bulk buying) and thats the reason more things cost less in bulk as I understand it.
Can this apply to troops? I think its probably more efficient to train a whole load at once than it is to train in small batches.

no.. in fact i think it should be opposite.
the more troops you buy the more it should cost.
simply because this favors people with alot of money. The more you have the more you save.
If anything, the game should favor to give breaks to new members rather than powerful members. this would allow new players to catch up to old players.

that dosent make sense. That means people could spend ages adding 10s to their army in order to save money.
I support the idea of a slight discount on bulk buying.

i think it should be a linear relationship, just like it is now.
but what i'd like to see is an option to be able to type in the number of soldiers you want to buy, similar to stocks.

No... it can be based on total troop size.. regardless of how many armies you have..
Currently i rather support the linear relationship. but if they do decide to curve it then it should favor new players rather than old ones.

Wouldn't this Make good sense, considering there is already a 16% discount with buying five armies at once.

In the words of Luke that would be like punishing players who play well.
