We will require some troops to become "troop models", that is, some troops you're willing to give up so that we can successfully replicate and train them.

If you send only a few of these troops, our models will be incomplete and inaccurate to the actual troops. Nonetheless, for as little as 5 of a troop type, we can successfully replicate troops to an acceptable standard (which is roughly about 75% health and damage as normal). Send more of these troops and we can refine our models better to become more and more accurate (100 of a troop type will allow completely perfect replication).

If you go overboard and send even more of a troop type, our R&D team can assign a new task to the newly formed Laboratory group, which will eventually make them even stronger.

In addition to this, we will require payment for our Lava Hound workers in the form of Gold or Gems. For each troop you send, you'll also have to send a 1,000 Gold fee for us to process it and refine our replication system. If you submit troops worth more than 20 housing spaces, an extra 1,000 Gold fee applies per troop. It is of note that we accept Gems at the rate of 1,000 Gold = 5 Gems
