Why do my private market amounts keep going down? I haven't bought anything from the PM. Each time I log in, there are fewer and fewer units available. For example, I went from having 4M troops available, to 3.2M, to 2.8M. What gives?
If at first you don't succeed, reverse the polarity.

It's kind of complicated, but here's a link to the formula that makes that happen:

there is unit "decay" on units left on the market after login with every tick of the turn.

say you log in with 100K troops on your PM, every time a turn ticks over, a portion of that 100K decays, until the number of that initial amount is 0


along with this, the replenishment rate is as follows

3 troops
2.5 jets
2.5 turrets
1 tank

per acre, per turn.


so there are 2 factors, decay, and replenishment. if you dont log in for an extended period of time, your PM will be rather large, and the decay will outpace the replenishment till they level back out again.


this is also why it is extremely important to buy out your PM when destocking for efficiency.
