Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenarys

Since this has been asked for several times on the forum, especially by new players to the game, here is a list I've compiled of all (I hope) the Mercenaries available in the vanilla version of the game.

Notes.
- The title of this post is designed to make it as easy as possible to find with the search function.
- I have indicated any extra abilities above the expected norm which I think are useful to know about. eg. "Black Bone's Pirates" Commander has the Sailing Ability. These notes are very limited though, and will be expanded in future versions of this list.
- Any magic paths on a commander will be listed in the (brackets) after the commander unit name.
- I have not yet indicated with a unit id number which exact troop comes with each group. eg. Heavy Infantry could be one of several. This is another job for later versions of the list!
- It would appear that certain mercenaries only appear in certain ages. eg. "Otto the Great" seems to only appear in Early Age. I've marked the mercenaries I think this applies to, although it needs further testing or confirmations to be sure this is the case.

If anyone spots any mistakes (very likely) or if I've left any out (less likely) can they please let me know. Also, if there are any extra abilities which I've left out which I should have considered as important but didn't.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenarys

V0.2 Changes

- Added the 4 missing mercs that seem to be specific to Early and Late era.
- Corrected a few spelling mistakes

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

what about that giant ettin? or the 6 Knights Eternal sacred wielding flambeaus? are they not around any more?

edit: i'm sure i've seen the ettin recently. good work definitely, anyways http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Very cool!

But missing:
Orion, Eternal Knights
Madam Fortuna
Mighty Pak-ur
Otto the Great

Misnamed:
Frodo -> Fordo in game

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

There's a 'Madam Fortuna' in a game I'm currently playing. Never saw her before either.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Hhhmmmmm curious

The list was compiled by running 3 test games in MA with max nations until year 15. In all the games the merc lists were empty for the last 3-4 years, and neither the Giant Ettin or the Eternal Knights showed up in any of them. But if they do exist then I guess I need to run some more tests!!

Edit - nor Madam Fortuna.

Will run more test games later today and update the list. Does anyone know if the game era affects which mercs show up? I thought it didn't, but maybe it does.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

oh yeah, madame fortuna - isn't she 1 astal with 20 slingers? does she have the ability to help ward off bad
luck?

the mechanics of what determines which mercenaries show up are obscure at best. Some, like the eternal knights, are very rare and almost only ever show up late game.

You can try more tests, but anyone else missing should hopefully be mentioned in this thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Mighty Pak-ur the Ettin shows up in EA for sure.
Orion's Eternal Knights and Madam Fortuna show up in LA.

Otto the Great is a bunch of monkeys I think... EA maybe?

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

in that really famous thread on somethingawful the monkeys showed up EA

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Can you please add the artifacts the mercs have? That is very useful info actually as you may want to kill the merc and get the art. Also, sometimes they possess unexpected random artifacts like Wolf chief with Ring of Sorcery etc...

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Thanks a lot for putting the work into this!

I'd really like to see it with the costs listed. And have you considered dumping it into a spreadsheet and attach it to your first post?

Finally -- another mechanic: the inquisitor mercs. In my experience God's Justice will only show up if the Armored Fist has come and gone, and God's Enforcers only if God's Justice has. Are there others like that?

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Hi ano

I thought the items that the mercs came with were always random. Although during my tests I didn't pay close enough attention to their items to notice if some mercs did always come equipped with a specific item or not. If this is the case though, then you are certainly right in saying that it'd be useful information to add.

Will run some more tests for this first chance I get.

--------------------

Hi Tichy

The merc database is currently in progress and will appear at some point in time :-)

I did consider putting the basic cost of each merc in, but I thought because the cost is relative to what you are actually willing to pay, that it wouldn't ultimately be useful info. But since you've asked, I'll put them in the next update.

Can't say I seen that pattern with the Inquisitor set of mercs during my tests, but then again it wasn't something I was on the look-out for so they may well have always appeared in a set order. Will add it to my list of things to check during the next set of tests. And if they do turn out to always appear in order, then I'll start looking out for other potential groups.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Thanks Calahan! (and Gandalf)!

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Big thanks for that Gandalf. If that is the complete list of mercs then it certainly helps me to spot any that I've missed out.

(Edit) Upon cross-checking both lists, it would appear that the following two mercenaries don't appear in the list from the game code.

- Gote
- Gunter Blukraft�s Sonnenkinder

Someone more knowledgeable than me will have to have a stab as to why that is.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

except i count 51 different mercs (not counting the leaders seperately) in gandalf's list, and 53 in yours... umm, lol?

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

It is my observation as well that the inquisitors do seem to progress in order.

I asked about mercs - and got sunrays list, which seemed to work pretty well.

Ahh yes. Thanks for spotting that. I looked into it. Thats a common problem with pulling strings from the Dominions game code. Both of those names seem to use special characters which are not in my text-screens character set. So they dont display. I get only partial names which I deleted thinking they were not part of the merc set.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Umlauts! They'll be the death of me!

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Maybe this should go into scenarios, maps, and mods, but...

...shouldn�t mercs have an autospawn of their unit type of choice? (so they replenish)...

... can it be done through modding?...

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Yes, modding can create autospawns. I'm not positive if the autospawns can be marked as mercs (can't be selected, die if they retreat) but if it works like Pans' autospawns they will show up in the merc squad. (I expect the merc-ness of merc units is a property of the commander and not the units.)

However, I wouldn't put this in the base game. Mercs are meant to die horrible deaths as siege fodder, not replenish with time. The merc leader is just gambling that he can get his troops killed off without dying himself, so you won't think it's worth the 80 gold to re-hire him alone. Too bad he forgot about his magic items. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

-Max

(P.S. I actually don't kill mercs for their magic items. It makes me feel like David murdering Uriah. Icky.)

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

The merc autospawning to replenish is something I would like too - where does all our gold go if they continue asking the same amount for 50 or for 0 men?
But it's very unlikely to happen unfortunately http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

I am a NOOB in every way but I have always taken early advantage of Mercs in any game I have ever played.

What I have noticed is (and I havn't lasted long enough in a MP game to see if later it resets)if you get the mercs and use them up (get them killed off) they are done and will not show up agian.

To me its a double bonus as I get the benifit and after I get them killed off on the last turn that I need them, they can't be used later agianst me.

They may reset later but if you notice sometimes they only have 1 man or no men left or they are just gone.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

I consider the proportional increase to be "Imminent Danger Pay". The boss knows you've killed off most or all his troops with your warmongering ways!

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

No, he just pockets the extra cash. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Note that if you don't hire a merc, he will sometimes hang around with for a while with a lower asking price. Thus the price can drop if he has so few men that no one wants to hire him. Usually, though, if no one hires him he just goes back to his cave to cry himself to sleep.

-Max

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

Meh. As their minions are mostly summons or quite common indie, I wouldn't find strange if the merc bosses hire/summon new men from time to time to continue being competitive (and alive? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ) on the market.

Them, that's one awesome thread indeed. I got to around 400 posts before finally deciding that was (more than) enough for one day...

Any idea if we would know the writer from these forums? That guy really put a LOT of work into it.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

And sometimes they just disappear completely, even if you bid high on them.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary

I used to have a problem with mercs sometimes disappearing when I bid to renew their contract. So I started always clicking on the merc's current province when renewing, and haven't seen them disappear yet. Not sure if it's at all related to what you're seeing. And it could be just coincidence.

For example u4, this would suggest that celestial servents get some special behaviour for MA- Tien Chi.

Two behaviours come to mind:
Some nations get discounts to recruit a mercenary. This field could be related to what nation gets a discount.
Alternatively, perhaps it controls if the nation shows up.

I believe u6 controls the cost. I believe 2 would be *half* or twice as expensive.

I *believe* 1 indicates - make more expensive. (for said nation)

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenarys

Thanks for bumping this, even though you quoted 10k worth of text twice. I can use this.

As for the speculation, without looking I would assume that u4 are nation ids, u5 the percentage of the gold price for said nation, u6 a limitation on the age in which the mercs appear, u2 and u3 could be min/max values for turns during which the mercs appear or how long they are available.
