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 ..

Or maybe the mercs just offer their service to the enemy in exchange for their lives being spared?

More likely the mercenary company gets word that their services are required in province xyz and by the time they get there, the place has already changed hands. They show up, report to the commander who, being the shrewd fellow he is, gives them orders to go somewhere and do something since he finds out that the mercs have already been paid.

Remember, one turn being a month, there's plenty of leeway time-wise.
