As yes you can get twice the units now but mercs only have half the power out put...
I think this is indeed the way you have to look at it. A normal unit has the potential to make a 'super' out of it so it's indeed stronger as a merc. Hence why I find it a logic idea to count a merc only as a half unit.
how is it in any way at all, logical for you to say 1 merc counts as 0.5 people???
mercs are not so powerful because they are cheap as dirt and very very quick to acquire, thats always been the case. But 1 merc still is 1 person.
I think you took jason's point the wrong way, 1 merc should never ever ever ever be on par with 1 super.
If anything i think mercs should decrease your income by a portion, because mercs never work free, that doesn't mean they are good at what they do either, mercs are cheap soldiers, nowhere near as good as a super soldier trained by your very own army.
