Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 1948652" data-attributes="member: 2020">So, starting with 350 Regular Armies, I could demobilized them and gain 350 IC to add to my starting IC?  That would double my starting IC, from 364.55 to 714.55.  It would also be suicide, but at least it would double my starting IC!  If I built 364 Regular Armies on Turn 1, then I'd have a total of 714 Regular Armies.  I could then (if they all survived the Turn) dismantle 400 of them, so I'd gain 400 to my starting IC on Turn 2, right?  Or, I could dismantle all of them (suicide, again) and gain 714 IC to my starting IC on Turn 2.    Heh.  Decisions, decisions.  Now, if I could only dismantle Elite and Epic Armies.  Nothing like getting 500 points more from the Elites!  (again, it would be suicide, but if nobody was going to attack me that turn, boy could I roar ahead in the Technological Arms Race!)    I'm assuming you cannot dismantle Elite and Epic Armies, though.  -    I note, though, that if not dismantled, Regular Armies carry over from Turn to Turn.  That is, if I build 364 Regular Armies on Turn 1, they stick around.  No need to pay to maintain them on Turn 2 or subsequent Turns.  They just stick around, protecting my power.  The same is true with the Elite and Epic Armies, of course.  -  I recommend everyone look at my post back on page 2, titled my 3rd try.  Serpenteye says I'm correct in all my statements in that post, so it might help anyone unclear on the rules.  Even with those understandings, I'm vague on a few things still.  I'll query about them later.  The biggest question I have (someone tell Serpenteye) is how many Armies can I have - TOTAL - up and running at once?  This includes all kinds of armies:  Militia, Regular, Elite, and Epic.  How many total Armies, of all kinds, can I have mobilized at once?  Based on what I read in the rules, it's roughly what my IC currently is, plus a little bit more.  But I'm not sure of that.</blockquote>
