Thanks Calahan! (and Gandalf)!

[Calahan]

Big thanks for that Gandalf. If that is the complete list of mercs then it certainly helps me to spot any that I've missed out.

(Edit) Upon cross-checking both lists, it would appear that the following two mercenaries don't appear in the list from the game code.

- Gote
- Gunter Blukraft’s Sonnenkinder

Someone more knowledgeable than me will have to have a stab as to why that is.

[archaeolept]

except i count 51 different mercs (not counting the leaders seperately) in gandalf's list, and 53 in yours... umm, lol?

Ahh yes. Thanks for spotting that. I looked into it. Thats a common problem with pulling strings from the Dominions game code. Both of those names seem to use special characters which are not in my text-screens character set. So they dont display. I get only partial names which I deleted thinking they were not part of the merc set.

[JimMorrison]

Umlauts! They'll be the death of me!

[Poopsi]

Maybe this should go into scenarios, maps, and mods, but...

...shouldn´t mercs have an autospawn of their unit type of choice? (so they replenish)...

... can it be done through modding?...

[MaxWilson]

Yes, modding can create autospawns. I'm not positive if the autospawns can be marked as mercs (can't be selected, die if they retreat) but if it works like Pans' autospawns they will show up in the merc squad. (I expect the merc-ness of merc units is a property of the commander and not the units.)

However, I wouldn't put this in the base game. Mercs are meant to die horrible deaths as siege fodder, not replenish with time. The merc leader is just gambling that he can get his troops killed off without dying himself, so you won't think it's worth the 80 gold to re-hire him alone. Too bad he forgot about his magic items.

-Max

(P.S. I actually don't kill mercs for their magic items. It makes me feel like David murdering Uriah. Icky.)
