Why does it stop at 2 billion?

Why does Gold Grab & Elixir escapade stop at 2 billion? Why doesn't it go to 5 Billion +? It wouldn't affect anyone to put the limit up, It's like having a cap on war stars "1000! Stars max! So Stupid

The type used to store GG/EE in is called int. Int holds a max of 2 billion & a little more. So to round it up they used the 2 billions as a the max. Now to change it a multilayer change is needed. This change with the problems that could happen after it might not be a priority for SC currently. The good thing is that we can be "maxed" in this achievement! There are some who would like it to change while others won't. Anyway send supporr a message asking them for that ;)

The point in where I'm at in terms of how far i am into the game and close to the top, is nowhere near you man. I really dont care how much loot I've stolen since I got this game. Once I have completed that achievement, Im done with it and I wont look back.

Changing datatype in database should be an easy task.

Int is just 'lowest' (no really) variable, so to speak, changing it to something like 'longint' or 'int64' should be no issue.

Changing datatype should be easy.
Int can be changed to float or double or longint.

You expect too much from clash dev team. they have troubles with far more simpler tasks.
Anyway IMO only de can show a good farmer because barching for gold/lix is easier.

Is that what they teach in comp science 101 these days? Using float to represent large integers in a precise manner? If so, you professor should be stripped off his academic rank immediately and sent back to college :)

Ill trust you on this one :smirk:

Anyway, to those saying its easy to change, im sure te devs have many things higher on their list then to up the cap on gg and ee.

Just started learning CS...I don't much about it.
Why can't float be used to represent large integers in precise manner?
What's the problem if GG and EE are in floating point?

Read once that it was because of server storage capacity (the higher the number the more storage space is needed). You would think that since the number of players has declined and the technology has evolved they would change it. But alas.
