Captians.

[Rocky]

Um, I hit my first troop max today, and I already brought in a captain, what do i do? My second base is 20 days away, should I delay him until then?

[Water Dumple]

What do you mean by your "First troop max"? If you mean that you hit the troop cap for your first base, that's not possible. Remember, you only get 50 troops a day/5 Specials.

[Hachi]

I think Rocky means he has enough troops for a captain now and is wondering if he could have the new captain take charge of his new base.

[bulbmin]

That's impossible. You need 7500 troops for your first free Captain. I started at the very beginning of the wars and I have only 5000.

I took a look at his logs.

I'm sure there are several more happenings like this, and I'm thinking they're more than enough to support a theory that rocky is cheating. However, I have only looked at this one so far.

[THE GODDAMN BATMAN]

I don't think he's cheating. I think he didn't read the rules thoroughly. He slipped up when he helped icecream make his app, so this leads me to believe that he's been 100 troop a day instead of 50 day.

EDIT: Actually, I checked most of his logs. As far as I saw, that was the only slip up.

[Planet9]

That is the only slip up, actually. He only has 4,800 troops as of yesterday.

[THE GODDAMN BATMAN]

Wait, he said this:
Total: 4800/4800/5000/0/0

Maybe he thinks that there's a 5000 pikmin limit or something.

[tinfoilman]

He made one error, but he can fix it in like two seconds.

He thinks that the number of pikmin/troops needed to get one captain is 5,000. This is wrong, apparently it is 7,500.

What I understand, is that he did a project already to do a captain and wants to know that, when he does hit the number for getting a captain (which'll be further down the road than expected), should he still get a captain, considering he already has one.

At least, that's what I'm getting.

If that's what he's asking, the answer is no--The projects are there if you want to get a captain earlier than the automatic gain.

And, yeah, maybe I should make an announcement reminding everyone that you only get 50 troops a day, not 100. Others might have missed it.

[Planet9]

I have a question concerning captains as well. Do we get a captain each time one of our bases hits the troops limit or just the first time a base does?

[Rocky]

Oh, ok. I didn't know we swiched the troop cap. OK, I will fix it.

Each time, so you get two Captains for each base.

[Rocky]

Ok, How long dose it take to move one and dose it take a Project?

[Petrosian]

Why'd you bump this?
