Founded the guild of the nine...

...but cant hire mercenary - is there another unlisted prequsite?

 

[Eldric IV]

How are you trying to hire?

Any units standing in that city should gain a "spell" to hire a mercenary.

 

[Willgar]

They have in earlier versions but not in this game (patch g). I am Hippus was the first to reach Currency tech at turn 209. Units in the founding city do not have access to the purchase merc spell. I have checked the Civilopedia and can find no other tech requirements - any ideas?

 

[Willgar]

odd - just discovered military strategy and the merc hire ability is now working...

Do you have enough gold? You need at least 120 gold to recruit be able to 'cast' the recruit 'spell'.

 

[Deon]

Do they have NO spell icon or is it just grayed out? Then it should be a gold as CyberChrist stated.

 

[CyberChrist]

You only get the spell icon for that spell if you can cast it - it will never be displayed greyed out.

 

[Willgar]

my mistake i guess - its a few turns back - must have been lack of gold...

Thanks
