Hey folks, can someone shed some light on how the auto-mortar advancement works? I'm nearing a superascension and have already spent AP in the level 4 advancements that suit my play style. The auto-draft advancement drafts armies even when I don't have the app open. However, that doesn't appear to be how the auto-mortar power is working. For example, I have auto-mortar upgraded to the point that it should be triggering every half hour. I've checked that I have that advancement turned on and closed the app. When I open the app for the first time in the morning, I see that no additional territories have been conquered. Does this advancement only trigger during actual time when the app is open?

Doesnt mortars only half (or whatever) the armies needed to conquer a territory and not actually conquer it?
And mortars have a no-hit chance, so that it fires but doesnt do anything at all.

I really dont see any point in mortars at all and just ignore them. So thats only a blind shot.

The only time I ever found mortars useful was if I planned poorly and ran out of Mercs, and I needed something to do with my money.

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware of the no-hit chance. Right now I'm just killing time until I can upgrade to insane AV and superascend. Auto-mortar is definitely not an advancement I'd turn to while other advancements are available.
