Re: Why do mercenaries suck?
Yeah, I do agree that mercs are a very useful way to get siege engines in early.
The point about using mercs for missile units is one I'd not considered before.
Although as I'm currently playing as Byzantium and get +1 Trebizond Archers and +1 Bulgarian Brigands I shouldn't need merc archers
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
