Ah, sorry. It was an issue for when not using the CP. Trying to keep everything compatible can be tricky. This update should fix it.

Do you still try to make everything compatible with Vanilla, or just G&K?

The difference might be that im using the cbp eui compatibility patch??? Just changing the setting in merc for cbp doesn't work. Ive tried differet things and settings. Most of the time I get the writing tech and I cant do anything with merc.

Neither. It's a headache enough trying to keep my mods compatible with BNW (especially my civs!) and not dependent on the CP DLL, as well as with other mods, let alone with vanilla and G&K.
I'm going to infer that you're having some sort of problem with CBP and Mercenaries? If you already posted about it, I apologize, but I didn't remember/didn't see it. But I did look into it and indeed there was a problem. Fixed now.
Minor update to Mercenaries (but important for the eventual Piety update):
- Fixed an issue where the Varangian Guard and Black Rider would be disabled if the Privateer changes were also disabled.
- Re-named the Mercenary Contracts Overview to just Contracts Overview, as MCO did fit in the dropdown when not using EUI.
- Added support for Piety costing Contracts (in preparation for the change-over in Piety) - they'll still cost Faith until Piety is updated, however.
- Added Company of Merchant Adventurers contract as a mid-game Recon contract (mainly for use with ExCE or EE)
- Fixed an issue where the De Meuron contract was not working.
- Fixed an issue with CBP compatibility.
- Fixed an issue where extending or breaking Contracts showed as costing Gold even when they cost Faith/Piety.

Yeah. Another bug(with the previous version): if I remove the mercenary contracts tech, I am unable to get the contracts after researching currency. It says "mercenary contracts will become available once you research currency" when I open the contract overview.

Information about current contracts has disappeared (save attached)
there are also another 2 mods enabled, "religious settlements change" and "new specialists", dont think its because of those - minor mods.
mercs seem overpowered.. too little maintenance i think. maybe prepayment should be less but per turn much more.

If you have your Lua log (from that game) handy, that would be helpful.

I can't see the contracts I take.... Which means I can't extend them, which is *kinda* annoying.
Also, I can get contracts before I researched the appropriate techs sometimes.... And I think they're a bit too cheap. Trebuchet with +1 range that costs less then a regular one? OP. Very OP.

I've never had issues with the current contracts tab, so I dunno what to tell you (or, I know what to tell you, Natan, but you'll never listen).
You tell me one thing, Jan tells me another. Natan, you are no Sith Lord, so I will not heed your cries of OP.

Did Jan use trebuchets with +1 range before even getting to physics?

No, because before the current mod update I couldn't afford anything beyond the Classical Era 
Besides, I do not care that much for balance, I care for flavor and fun.
Plus, it's only one unit in your whole army - and the contract ends at some point (unless you pay and pay for it, and that gold could be used to buy better units rather than stick to something obsolete).

And on the plus side, those kinds of mercenaries can really turn the usual human-dominates-AI on its head.

Indeed - from what I saw, the AI likes to take the contracts very much, and I had a few [AFRAID] moments when they bought some powerful units. 
OOh I should play with this mod more often, that must be fun to play against.Indeed - from what I saw, the AI likes to take the contracts very much, and I had a few [AFRAID] moments when they bought some powerful units.
I keep having this idea on and off about making a mod that spawns units of balanced composition for the AI when they declare war, specially in the endgame. Oh god why won't they just build artillery and battleships

Do you use the CP DLL? Whilst running an AI-only game of the Enlightenment civs, Joseph II sailed to Chile and captured the capital of Two Sicilies. He was based in the Urals, and used Naval Units entirely, no less! I dunno why he did it, but it sure was impressive
