work the same way as others, cant have too many, only half as effective, or 3/4 as effective as normal covert troops, though die quicker? Good AC fodder maybe....

I say 3/4 as effective as regular spies.
Number you can have depends only on the number of trained units, just like regular mercs.
Increase the % lost when sabbing
Easier to AC
Good Idea Buckey.

ok question
is the ammount you can have based on all military or just covert opps?
reason i ask is i see people training uu to ac and then using merc spies to be killed.

Good idea, work them the same way merc spies would work.

There should be merc covert units, if you can have attack and defense ones it makes no sense not to have them.

I think its a good idea myself as long as the ration is tied to the stat
covert merc ration tied to covert only
Anti covert merc ration tied to anti covert only
This will stop training 1 mill anti (which can't be killed) and buying 1 mill covert opps(that will be killed).

wouldnt work, as with just one covert merc type, only spykillers would use them, as they would be lost on farming people with defense... so one covert and one anti-covert merc type is the way to go...

big guys dont need to risk any uu at all since they can buy merces as they want. whats coming next ? mining merces?

it would make covert useful again rather than being a direct attack on the opponents weapons.. stealth
