Hiring Mercenaries?

**mike007** · May 25, 2006, 01:05 AM

How do you hire mercenaries? Ive searched but could find nothing on this. Ive seen people talk about how they are scripted etc, but everytime i put a general in the field, no mercs are available, ever!

Sorry if this is obvious, but i cant find how to do this anywhere.

thanks

The script doesn't work but in certain towns your advisor will pop up and ask you if you want to buy this merc for certain amount cash,with a x or check I think.Using the mercs in battle will result in a ctd.

Bummer! oh well. thanks for letting me know. ive also noticed that when i fight certain factions (especaly the rebles) i get cdt when i try & fight a battle my self, but if i auto fight it, no CTD. that makes me think theres something wrong with the models or the data associated with

Yes, some of the merc scripts ctd at the moment, we'll fix it in the next patch. And yes, some rebel units in these rebel armies cause ctds because of some problems in their coding. We have 2 official fixes so far and hopefull some more very soon.
