Recurring wages for mercs
I dont know any mercs that take a one time payment and stay with you till they die or are sold. I think they should get an per turn or per day salary or they desert.

^ took my line :d
But really, I kind of like this idea. Pay the normal 3000 naq for them then maybe like another 250 naq per day to keep them...logically your statement makes sense.

Re: Recurring wages for mercs
have it set up where at market reset, it'll take the total amount of naq owed for the past week from your bank? A weekly payday is more logical too.

been suggested before.
the reset idea, what if your bank is empty?
most people will complain it only hurts the small and weak.

Re: Recurring wages for mercs
The small and weak dont need a lot of mercs.. The guys that carry 10-20 mil mercs all the time may find it more a nuisance than its worth to keep them.. idk, just seems more realistic to me.

Re: Recurring wages for mercs
maybe you'll only be charged for them if you own a certain amount or more?

It would only make sense. You don't pay your workers, they'll gonna quit and get a new job.

I agree. Mercs are soldiers for hire. If someone else has money to pay and they aren't doing anything/being paid, do you think they would stick around?
