A small thing that kind of bugs me, transfering troops on the batlefield

You need the tech to transfer between diff lvl armies and i agree

HOWEVER

why should i need the tech if i want to transfer from a higher lvl to a lower lvl, im not gaining anything from it

so my thing is to allow transfer of higher lvl armies to lower lvl ones with out the tech

well it's part of the game.

the only logic i have behind this is this

i have to pay to get the tech

so i can transfer troops to a lower lvl armie and loose out on their attack and defense bonuses gained form higher lvl

it is usefull sometimes i admit, but u should be able to do it with out the tech

You could push to have Req just grey out some of the arrow boxes if you lack certain techs....but that's gonna be a code fix, even if a minor one, and I'm not sure he'll like that....

i know this is very minor, and is it hapens at all it would be an addition to some bigger fixes

but you kind of lost me there CTDXXX r we talking abou thte same thing?

He is...he's stating that your suggestion could be implemented by 'NOT HAVING' an option to transfer up (that arrow 'greyed' out), but the arrow for down transfer or into the lower level army available. Should be a simple thing to set up.....AND, I've agreed with this suggestion in the past.

ohh ok i get it now, yea that would be a very simple fix

and by the way i dono if u remember me sugarleo, but how u been

My opinion is the tec and cost seem appropriate. However the cost of actual transfer should be in expierience not in recources. Otherwise we are just buying experience.

I don't think it should be changed. There's no need to make the expert recruitment tech less valuable.

this wont lower the value of the tech

im just saying its kinda weird to pay for the tech so u can loose xp

the tech is very valuable if ur transfering up

No being able to tranfer down is even more valuable than being able to transfer up. If transfering down is made free it will make the expert recruitment tech nearly worthless.

how will it make the tech useless?

transfering up and getting high lvl armies on the battle field is very important, how is transfering down more valuable?

Well after fighting you usually end up with a bunch of small ragtag armies. And sometimes the levels of the armies are not very different. For example if you have a level 5 and a level 6 macemen armies its much better to transfer into the level 5 for free. You don't lose that much experience and the transfer doesn't cost anything. Even if the level difference was much wider its still better to transfer into the lower level troop because of the huge costs of transfering up.

My experience is much the same as boe describes. However, I will always transfer up to boost the strength of my armies that have gained experience and multiple levels, even with the extra resource cost involved.

On occassion I have transfered down if it's only 1 level maybe 2 in the difference between the armies, when faced with limited resources or more likely the need for that extra army slot to deploy another army.

I would think the suggestion put forth to be reasonable without any huge impact on the game, as a occasional convenience when that need arises, and certainly wouldn't expect to see the purchase of that tech decline with the change.

We should be getting PAID recources for transfering down!

What, so you can cash in your levels for resources to buy other things with? (including buildings!)

No chance (sorry )

I would propose that when troops are transfered the experience level be averaged out. Perhaps with a percentage of the difference added. There could be a tech for a higher percentage bonus. I disagree with buying experience espescially because it can't be sold.
