[MODCOMP] Mercenaries Mod
- Thread starter TheLopez

Nice mod. I like the idea.
However, I have a problem. I was hiring out some units due to a surplus of units and the fact that I was losing money keeping my science rate high. Turns out Victoria and Monty decided to have a war. Victoria hired out one of my axemen. Victoria started losing the war and eventually lost her last city. My axeman wasn't lost in combat, but still shows up on the merc screen as being hired by Victoria. I can't get him back from "Victoria," and I'm still getting paid for him. The screen still says "one year until arrival" or something like that. Except it's now been over twenty turns since Victoria died.
Also, some of the mercs start out pretty powerful. 10 turns into the game, the screen showed a level 8.
Other than that, the mod is extremely enjoyable.

I'll add it to the enhancement/fix list.
It is possible to delete the limit of the 18 civilizations?
And some questions for mod:
1. Can you compose this mod and MADNukesModv0.1.1?
2. And can you add the "attitude_civs" (CvMainInterface)?
I has found some bugs
I send you a Private Message with more info of my ideas

))Not it is not possible to get rid of the 18 civilization at this time. It is a bug in the core Civilization 4 code that we do not have access to.PSYX said:
No to both questions. I don't want to merge anything into the core mercenaries mod release. I am planning to include all three of those mods in my Great Options mod...PSYX said:

Mercenaries have nationalities when they are hired out by the AI and by players, the generated mercenaries do not have nationalities.
When generated mercenaries are fired they go back into the global mercenary pool.

How comes the next version? Has a feature list been developed for it?

Would it be possible to have the mercmod implemented inactive in a mod and get started by a tech- i.e. currency?

Nice!
Another nice feature would be a function that permits a civ hiring a merc from another towards it is annoyed or even furious. Or would you hire mercenaries from your worst enemy to fill up his purse?

There is a very complex difference engine that the AI uses to determine if they need to hire a mercenary or not. In its finite state machine the AI uses its relations between itself and the other players in the game, how much money it has, how powerful it is, etc. to make the final decision if it should hire a mercenary.

When I asked Sevo if he might be incorporating your mod into his SevoMod, he said that the AI didn't use Mercenaries properly.

But they will hire mercenaries from the pool?
