on the upside... i now don't lose as many archers when doing a level 10 npc which means i can afford to farm more ...

before, my 200+ hero was costing me 14-22k archers each time (very expensive - so i could only use that hero a few times a day to try and level her) ... now it costs me 8500 archers, which is roughly the same as with my 300+ attack hero ) gotta be happy with that!!

perhaps the more prestige you have, the more archers you lose? because a clannie of mine tried his npc's .. and is still losing 18k a pop - he didn't get his prestige deleted
