Well since the game is growing all the time, slowly as it may be due to the plague, the number of mercs available has not increased with the game, and if armies grow in this universe surely the number of available mercs will increase due to the simple theory of supply and demand.

1 idea: increase the total available to 200mill each and have 10mill resupplied after each turn?

discuss...

i was going to suggest this

not 100 million per turn but yes 5 mill per turn for a game over 1000 active players (theres more i no but i mean even medium to super active)

i would be happy with 30 million per turn to 50 million resupply

ya doubling is not too drastic of a change and its needed indeed.

I do think they should remain a rare commodity so lets not get carried away with increasing them, but that said, with all the big defs/strikes nowadays, a straightforward doubling seems in line.

I think doubling is a bit drastic as well but perhaps a rate of growth, much like the increase in army size limit would be good?

When I started playing sgw back in 2007 I'm pretty sure the total mercs available was 100 mill, only back then no one needed enough to deplete the stock completely, especially me with my 2mill army back then. Point is mercs available should increase as peoples armies and the game increases. Maybe the original number of 100mill was too high, but right now it is far too low.

Should almost definitely be increased, double sounds good, but I'm not sure I would increase it beyond that. For now at least.

Yeah double seems good to me too. Everything else would need far more thought.

Yes.. more mercs are definitely needed.

Surely an overdue update..

This should be introduce once they have been doubled in my opinion.

Definitely should be growth dependant, like the UU buy/trade cap and the raid caps keep growing.
