Hi LadyWizard,

Do you use both Crusaders on a seat?

It doesn't level them both up because you only get Idols from the 20 Crusaders showing on the bench.

Erika

idols count is based only on the 20 visible crusaders, swap out someone, level him up, and swap him back with the normal guy and you wasted gold.
just what Erika said

test it out yourself.
see your current idol estimate/count right now, swap out someone, or even all 4 of the event guys, and look at the count and you will see it's completely different.

idols shown in the reset button, what's calculated, and what you will get, IS simply based on the 20 crusaders showing at the time you do that.
swap in someone and whatever that one is leveled to is part of the mix, swap him out and he's no longer part of the mix. the 20 on the bench ARE the only ones that will be counted.
not strange, and you just proved that for yourself with what you just said
