Don't worry Decan, there are 50+ mercenary companies in Dom2. That should Last you for a while.

I certanly would not want to have infinite number of random merc for hire, for serveral different reasons.
Not if you kill one company per turn.

I'm talking about SP play anyway and having mercs around just adds to the fun and flavor somewhat. Lategame, a few mercs running around is hardly going to make much of a difference.
Killing merc company is a perfectly valid and interesting tactic. I often hire company not because I need than that much, but to deny my opponent from doing the same. With unlimited number of random mercs, or with "reborn" merces, such tactic would no longer be effective.

I would not mind to see anouther 20-30 companies, if devs will decide to add them, although I strongly doubt they will, it seem to be very low priority taks, if any. But random companies or unlimited/reborn companies would be a bad idea IMHO. Having mercs as another limited resourse in the game, as it is now, is nice and add complexity into the game.
