Another question about mercs:

How is the cost of a bid to re-hire a merc effected if that merc is already giving your nation a discount?

For example I am playing Ulm in my current game and Fordo Boggit's Elite Warriors offered to work for me originally at.. I dunno I think it was 75% of thier normal price. I hired them and when time came to re-bid thier asking price (iirc) was half of the 75% price they originally offered.

Makes sense, right? But is my bid figure doubled only, since I have the mercs employ? Or is it increased by 125% to reflect the fact that fordo likes Ulm?
