cross-posting from the Noobs and vets forum :

Here are somethoughts about the best way for communication between the teams and the mercenarys.

I think that there will be times where two teams will want the same thing and the best way to deal with that will with an auction. I think that it would be nice to have open auctions on this forum, with something like one thread for each military operation where the teams will submit there bid. However I see two big problems with that : first it will make it impossible to have the help of the mercenarys for a surprise attack (or there will still be a need for another system) and secondly it will introduce real time in the game since somebody able to bid just after his opponent will have a huge advantage. Another way would be to have closed auctions like those for the in games mercenarys : everybody gives his price without knowong what the others are doing and I select the contracts that I want to do.

I am leaning to the second option since it will be more simple but I am open to any suggestion.

I think we should keep this tread about balance and respond to this post on the other forum but I wanted to draw your attention to this question.
