    I am looking in the help section and cannot see anything about counters, and if there is a limit on how many you can have at one time, like in VC and PC, so is there a limit and does it not decrease like in VC as you get to certain levels ??

    Yes, Linda... it works the same in LCN as it does in Vikings and Pirates... you start out with a certain amount (75, i think), and as you level up it decreases until you get down to 10...

    I can't remember how fast the limit goes down, but I have been at 10 for a while in LCN, Vikings, and Pirates... I'm pretty sure that once you hit level 1000 in any of the games (if not earlier), you'll be down to 10 ambushes/counters... glad I could help! :p

    I cannot remember in VC myself but I did notice it happening, actually I was waiting for some PIA to not be able to use them on me lol just like here in LCN, but in PC it does not decrease and that is because of the cagematching ( ughhh) feature

    PIA, lol... yeah, I haven't found the need to use them in Pirates very often... didn't think that the limit doesn't go down there, but it definitely goes down in LCN and Vikings, because I'm down to 10 in both of those apps... I'm not a big fan of caging, but I do still have to get those achievements for the sps...

    Actually ambushes start at 100 i think like all the apps.
    Then for LCN it drops to 10.


    Ambushes
    Ambushes can be set on other clans. If an ambush has been set on a clan, the next time they attack, they will be caught off guard and destroyed in a fight.
    You cannot set an ambush on someone who hasn't previously attacked you within the last 24 hours. Attacks are fights only, punches hitlists are not counted.
    Ambush pricing is now based off of cashflow (income-upkeep) and strength between two players.If the player placing the ambush is a greater level, the cost is based more on the greater of the two cashflows ( between the 2 players )
    Discounts are given if your opponent has attacked more and price is increased if you have attacked more. Attacks are fights only, punches and hitlists are not counted. Attack counts between players are reset if there is 24 hours of inactivity (no attacks). Note that the already set ambush themselves are never reset or removed. Price is also increased if multiple ambushes are set on the same person.
    Ambush allocations start at 100, every 15 levels you advance that allocation drops by 1 to a minimum of 10.
    Base ambush costs are capped at your opponent's hitlist price (before discounts/increases).
    Successful ambushes count as an attack against your opponent.

    PS that was a direct copy paste so the grammar error is in the help.

    "punches hitlists" think that should read punches AND hitlists.

    I was only thinking of the lack of Counters in LCN, yesterday when I took on a whole Syndicate...lol.

    You are currently using 3 out of an available 10 ambushes and 16 out of an available 50 rigged ignitions.

    Seems a bit low when you consider a Syndicate has 25 players. Maybe I'll have to pick on smaller ones :)

    I think this has been mentioned before... but I don't believe the amount of ambushes/counters will ever increase... I believe that there are several reasons for this, it takes a real long time to reach the counterattack achievements, though... I may never make it in Vikings...
