Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary
I am a NOOB in every way but I have always taken early advantage of Mercs in any game I have ever played.
What I have noticed is (and I havn't lasted long enough in a MP game to see if later it resets)if you get the mercs and use them up (get them killed off) they are done and will not show up agian.
To me its a double bonus as I get the benifit and after I get them killed off on the last turn that I need them, they can't be used later agianst me.
They may reset later but if you notice sometimes they only have 1 man or no men left or they are just gone.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary
The merc autospawning to replenish is something I would like too - where does all our gold go if they continue asking the same amount for 50 or for 0 men?
But it's very unlikely to happen unfortunately

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary
I consider the proportional increase to be "Imminent Danger Pay". The boss knows you've killed off most or all his troops with your warmongering ways!

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary
No, he just pockets the extra cash. 
Note that if you don't hire a merc, he will sometimes hang around with for a while with a lower asking price. Thus the price can drop if he has so few men that no one wants to hire him. Usually, though, if no one hires him he just goes back to his cave to cry himself to sleep.

Re: Complete List of Mercenaries, Mercs, Mercenary
Meh. As their minions are mostly summons or quite common indie, I wouldn't find strange if the merc bosses hire/summon new men from time to time to continue being competitive (and alive? ) on the market.

Them, that's one awesome thread indeed. I got to around 400 posts before finally deciding that was (more than) enough for one day...
Any idea if we would know the writer from these forums? That guy really put a LOT of work into it.

And sometimes they just disappear completely, even if you bid high on them.
