I suppose either they disappear completely or remain available, and you're not charged.

Wow... PDF has been around here longer than me.

I wonder which active member on the dominions forum is the OLDEST... which is not from ShrapnelGames or Illwinter.

Hmmmm

Thanks - that's useful information

Well, I don't think it's me, I'm not quite 30.

I can assure you it's not you. It's not even me (at 37), and by a wide enough margin I'm sure.

I think by 'oldest' he means 'has been using the forum longest'.
Illwinter used to use a different forum back in the Doms1 days and at least a few people on here used to post there, so I doubt we'll be able to find out...

Well, I've started here at the SE4 forums, there are many oldtimers out there, so I've been on the Dom2 board since it was created !
The real Dom vets started on csipg ng, for example Pocus who played Dom long before me

Yeah, that's where I learned aboud Dom:PPP. I think it was a post by Gandalf; I downloaded the demo, ordered the full game, and I'm not sure I ever finished a game. But when I learned about Dom2, I had it preordered, and I've been a regular here ever since.

To actually answer the question, if you win the merc bid but lose the province to the enemy, the mercenaries will show up all right and cheerfully enter the service of your enemy on your dime. I've had that happen to me. And no, you do NOT get your money back.

Huh, really ? I was totally wrong, shame to me, but this behavior is pretty ridiculous, it borders bugginess ..
