Mercernary rate

[tassadar]

What is the ratio(rate) of how many mercernaries you can have?

[hidden]

for you

You can only have 65.00 percent (base of 25 plus 40 percent in upgrades) of your trained troops as mercenaries.
Beyond that, you do not have enough troops loyal to you to ensure compliance to your orders.

ADDITIONALLY - each Merc (attack or defence) is paired with a 'super soldier' (attack or defence). This means that you can only have as many attack/def Mercs as you have supers of that type. (plus 10% for each merc level)
BEYOND THIS, NOT ONLY CAN YOU NOT GET MORE, BUT THEY WILL RUN AWAY IF GIVEN THE CHANCE!!! ABOUT 10% OF THE 'OVERLIMIT' WILL DISAPPEAR PER TURN.


i think

refer to your mercenary page for more accurate details

[tassadar]

can you give me an example, cause i am not sure why i cant get more right now.

[hidden]

it should tell you in the mercenary page

mercenarys are paired up with super soldiers so you need to have super soldiers to have mercenarys

seriously just read the mercenarys page its much easier

[Lore]

got to market

then merc market

At the top of the screen you will see something like this

You can only have 105.00 percent (base of 25 plus 80 percent in upgrades) of your trained troops as mercenaries.
Beyond that, you do not have enough troops loyal to you to ensure compliance to your orders.
You now have:
6000000 Trained Mercs.
7000161 Trained Military Units.
You can have a maximum of 7,350,169 Trained Mercs.

everyone is based on their tech level

[buck]

And tech level is based on the number of ascensions you have made, So if you are an unascended account, E.G. Tauri, Asgard, Gou'ld, replicator, You will be able to have 25% of the amount of trained units you have as mercs.

E.g.

"If you have 20,000 Strike Soldiers or supersoliders, You can buy 5,000 strike mercs"


You can only buy 25% of what you have, So you cannot have 20,000 strike units, 10,000 defence units and 5000 defence mercs, You would only be able to have 2,500 defence mercs, but you can also have on top of that 5000 strike mercs.

The amount of mercs you are allowed to have will increase 5% with every ascension (as long as you buy the technology) .

"E.g. A prior (1 time ascended account) would have a base tech of 25% Mercs, Plus 5 percent extra, So would be able to have 30% there total as mercs, so 20,000 strike soldiers would mean you could get 6,666 Strike mercs."

Important, Remember this base limit will increase with each ascension by 5% , And you can only have your total amount of % mercs in strike or defence seperately, meaning you cannot have loads of strike soldiers, and only defence mercs

Thats about as comprehensive answer as your going to get, hope it helps.

dont forget tech upgrades.. im unasceneded and have 55 percent mercs (25% base + 30% tech). and idk if this was fixed or what but it says they are paired up with supers... blah bla blah.. but i had more mercs than supers at first and i didnt lose any. So for me..

You can only have 55.00 percent (base of 25 plus 30 percent in upgrades) of your trained troops as mercenaries.
Beyond that, you do not have enough troops loyal to you to ensure compliance to your orders.
You now have:
370126 Trained Mercs.
693848 Trained Military Units.
You can have a maximum of 381,616 Trained Mercs.

[John99GSX]

I have not ascended and with the max tech available for a tauri I can have 75% (25% base +50% in upgrades)

FYI: Buy the upgrades before you increase your UP as more UP increase the cost of the techs.
