The Inn is required to hire mercenaries for your armies. This will allow you to plug gaps in your armies that your native troops cannot fill. This is a good way for the Irish to get Archers with their longer missile range, or the Scots to get armour piercing melee troops.
To hire mercenaries in a province, open the troop recruitment window. If an Inn is present, there will be an option tab to hire mercenaries. This tab will show you all of the mercenary units that are available at the moment. Select the ones you want to buy and purchase them. (immediately available?)
The closer to the frontlines your Inn is, the more mercenaries it will attract. The Inn itself has a +40 magnetism value for attracting mercenary units. Other buildings will have a negative effect on the availability of mercenaries. The more advanced the province fortress, the fewer mercenaries will be available. The Warrior Hold has -5 magnetism, the Stockade and Fortified Village have -10 magnetism, the Fort has -15 magnetism, and the Keep has -20 magnetism. The Court of Law and Royal Mint buildings have -10 magnetism, symbolizing the order that these buildings bestow.
