Re: Can bribed units get injured?

So if your units get bribed... they do not get injury? isn't that just overpowering the Puppet Master route just a "tad"?
I believe that you're confusing two different questions.
What this topic is asking (I hope, or it's me that is confused) is whether units, which I bribe can then be injured when they are attacked (When they already belong to me), or whether they'll all just die -- So he's basically asking if the only units to be injured are those that a person buys for themself. The answer to this
seems to be that bribed units should be able to be injured, based upon insurance in past rounds, as well as common sense - Why shouldn't they be?
However, what you seem to be asking, I think, is if someone attacks me with puppets and bribes my units, will I get some back due to the injury system. I think the answer to this is no; it'd be creating units out of nowhere, really. Does this mean that puppets are imbalanced? Not really; it means that bribing is the only way to reduce someone's army without injury kicking in, but this doesn't strengthen the puppet route, as such, it just means they're the best for this purpose, but it won't be exploited much due to it being so hard to attack with puppets. Few people will attack with puppets just to stop people making use of the injury system.
