So I'm trying a clans merc rush with 5 random AI opponents. I'm off to a pretty solid start, but when I hit era 2 and rush for neutral warring mercs, there are only 2 delvers in the market. Next turn, someone had bought them. I wait 10 turns, not a single merc shows up in the market.



I try selling my own armies hoping to buy them back as mercs, they don't show up for sale so either someone else bought them before I could even see them on the screen or you can't buy back your own armies as mercs.



Is there some mechanic I'm missing here, or how am I supposed to be taking territory if no one will DoW me and no mercs are available?

I don't believe the AI actually uses the marketplace yet, so you may have stumbled upon a bug.

Right now the merc market place needs a bit of work. The mercs slowly trickle in and it cost more for a merc unit than for an actual hero which is totally wonky. I may be a bug the units disappeared from the market.

If its a bug I have encountered it to. Twice. First time i had exactly the same problem, playing clans and having to take over a region due to faction quest with no mercs coming up for sale (even though there where from the beggining). My current game saw the same dissapearence of Mercs, though i now play WW and don't really need them.



I hope its a bug and its not supposed to be like that. If there is a risk of the merc-market running out, then we deffinately need the esclusive feature from the hero market, where you have some turns to buy units before anyone else gets a chance.



cheers
