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.

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.

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.

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?

"Your secretary of finances regrets to inform you that, due to insufficient funding, your realm was no longer able to keep the mercenaries under hire. S/he adds that the last of these unpaid and ungrateful 'dogs of war' left their posts early this morning, seeking their fortunes elsewhere."
