some mod questions from a newbie

[Turin]

most mercenary commanders and troops aren´t unique. For example bureks city guard comes with militia, which are monsterid 18. that´s the same id as the militia you can recruit in several independant provinces.

I think the only two exceptions are the eternal knights(which only appear guarding a unique site elsewhere in the game) and the mercenary band, that actually has it in their description that they are mercs.
