Untrained mercs could be used to increase naquadah production e.g. for every 100 of them you buy naq prodution increases 1%. The price to buy themin the first place should then be raised to between 5000 and 10000.
-OR-
They could be used to increase UP instead in the same way (Call them recruitment officers or something), who the more you have the more untrained troops join you i.e. Increase UP. Increase the price to buy them and have say 1 extra unit for every ten mercs.
-OR-
They increase covert defence/offense (The others affect attack and defence so it makes sense). Maybe they are recruited as spy hunters for example. You could use them to attack an enemy to kill spies but steal no naquadah or damage any weapon, otherwise they could be used just to increase Covert Capacity(Action, or whatever it is for defense) to defend against sabs in the same way attack/defence mercs increase Strike/defensive action.

Yes, this is a burning question on every Goaulds mind right now, what shall we do about the mercs? Many have suggested the spy hunter idea including myself. This is one of the most reasonable uses for them imaginable!!

Also despite the use, it will be desired to raise the theft limit for the goauld unique ability. I have used 1000 turns and I have only stolen 4.

Maybe they should icrease UP and naq income like each one gives you one extra untrained soilder per day and about 25 naq per turn.

let them get trained into Super Mercenaries=Super soldier

but the mercenary will cost more to train

Or they could be used as cannon fodder i.e. they are the first units to die in an attack or defense. Its so annoying when someone attacks you and kills 20 or so units and most of them are supersoldiers

lol, if there going ot increase Up then im definatly going ot buy them, cosidering money is not a problem for me, for my UP is well over 4000 total

how about we just let untrained mercs help your bank size?

no naq just bank size... because there are people now that are hording untrained units... waiting to see what happens with them if you up the cost and give them the ability to increase your Naq per turn then everyone that was hording them just made out like bandits...

but if you just make it so they increase bank Size I know every goa'uld would be happy and everyone that was hording them...

We all agree they need to do something right?

So lets break it down what we have so far

well, they are quite useful being used as a "bank" considering they barley die, but you only get 50 percent back of how much you paid for. Maybe we shoudl increase teh amount of money we get back when we sell them?

i dont think Untrained units die now


anyway DeathShooter are u one of the untrained Mercenary hoarders?










little secret i am

nope, i have no use for untrained for i am getting all of my officers ss. and even if i wanted tehm i cant buy, but i think i know who hords them

*runs off to check*

yep, he's one of them
