So there is no real purpose for Untrained Mercs?

At the moment there is no use for untrained mercs, you can distribute them to your officers and you can sell them for a small price on the mercs page. There is a very tiny use for them, if your covert is high enough you can fool your enemies into believing you have a massive army, when in fact you haven't, i'm not sure why you'd want to do this.

No, I disagree there is a big use for them, if you run out of bank space when you are saving up for a big spy level, then you can just buy untrained mercs and use them as a bank, you buy them at 1500 and sell them at 900 which is quite a good rate

in that case you loose 600 per merc....if you were trying to buy oh say covert level 16 which costs $198,608,000 you would have to buy 220675.5 or 220,676 which at 1500 each would cost you 331,014,000 in that case you would lose $165,507,000... I think with that ammount of money you could buy oh... say... unit production and actually make your bank bigger. (and at 31,252 untrained... my bank only holds 123,757,920... MORE UP I NEED MORE UP!)
