Re: Maintenance of Mercenaries
Thanks for the correction Nick, you are right, for normal units it is cost/15, not cost*0.15.
Still, you'd end up paying more in upkeep to Hannibal's Elephants than you would to rehire them. Another reason to keep them busy, if you do have to pay upkeep on mercs.
Edit:
I tested this in SP, and I saw no change in upkeep after hiring mercenaries. This means you are way better off hiring Hannibal for a measly 80 GP to start and paying 40 every 3 turns, than building 6 elephants for 600 and paying 40 per turn.
In fact, you could bid 600 to start for Hannibal, and renew at 120 every 3 turns (effectively 240 for bid-competing purposes), and still come out at least even.
