Untrained Mercenaries

[~Cú Chulainn~]

what exactly is the point of them if they cant be used?

*moved to correct section*

[urogard]

they eat your mine slave's food and make them generally very sad because unlike your miners, the untrained mercs don't have to work

Untrained mercs provide -SOME- APP for when you ascend. I believe they provide half that of an attack or a defence merc and less than the naq they cost. But you can take as many as you want through ascension.

Or potentially if you have a very tiny bank, and can't actually bank with anyone else, they are a secure way of storing naq (though admittedly at a great loss) but they are absolutely untouchable and the return from selling them back to the market is guarenteed.

Thats pretty much it.

In perg, they can also be a way for a CO to supply an officer with resources.

Naq transfers are not possible in perg, but you can still send mercs to your officer so it it is basically a naq transfer with Jason taking a 50% fee

[bebita]

No use to be honest

[deni]

it is a valid tactic beb

and as you can sell mercs only for 50% of the price you bought them, it is a costly tactic aswell so I do not think it can be used on a large scale anyways


move to normal, hit ppt and get the naq you need transferred is what most would do.

[Caladon]

I agree it is costly. When an officer is a new player, the naq, even after Jason's cut, is still naq.
