Formulas?

(2d6 oe roll) x 10 gp over asked price?

The AI can probably analyze how many of the merc soldiers are alive, and how many it started with. How should that affect bid price? Direct multiplier, so that e.g. with 10/30 archers dead the bid would be 0.67 of what it would be otherwise? Or should the AI bid much less for mercs that have lost some units or are currently recruited by someone else, in the case it's booby-trapped or ordered to take the burnt of a Knight charge next turn, leaving the AI with 3 soldiers total?

It's complicated business.
