Merc Availability

[mlp071]

I did just quick 3 tests last night as AS and just in 3 provinces bordering Baktria (Aria, Drangiane and Margiane), they(AS) had available 26 ( ) mercenary units within first 4 turns , and they got 22 prvinces at start.
Even if they recruit in only half of the provinces (mercs i mean ) thats 5+ stack every 4 turns....4 years later they got 20+ stacks.

Same things is with most of regions in the game .


AI will buy all mercs that spawns, as long he has money available. As i stated in some other posts in 2 of my campaings (Qarth & Maks), i am yet to fight units that are produced in baracks . And thats after 4-5 years of war in each.It's not that i can't beat them, just would like to see their own units.Both have built up top lvl barracks and overfulll towns (20+k), yet they are not producing anything.

If i see one more misthophoroi phalangita,thureophoroi and mistophoroi hippeis all mercenary made army, i am gonna cry.

Even Getai are fielding those, and they can make better units in barracks.

AI buys all mercs available and is not producing any elite units of theirs.
