wr1ght's Redone Mercenaries mini-submod ------- RELEASED!!!!!!

[Kátz]

Hello, this is my mini-submod which is going to be part of my own realism submod, since this is first time I'm editing the descr_mercenaries.txt (Most often the EDU and DMB) So if you think the cost of chevrons are too high comment here. I did this at 1 am you know so there may be some mistakes. After all, I'm going to write :
------ All Comments and Feedbacks Appreciated ------
Featuring :
Much higher cost
Higher Chevrons ( there is one or two that I make 9 )
City State Hoplites recruiteable as mercenaries ( half-done, when I have more time I release a rev one. )
------------
I'm doing this to make mercenaries more valuable, non-expendable, not a meat shield/ cannon fodder anymore. You are going to beg to recruit them, they are very expensive. ( I remember I elevated elephant cost to 12000 )

Advice : Think and plan before and after you hire these mercenaries.

Rev 1 Change Notes :
Almost regions have been into the list. ( If there is one not contact me not the RS dev team )
Next version I'm going to make city-state hoplites pools. a.k.a it mostly limits to that region alone.
If there is a bug CONTACT ME.

Edit : In the pool Judaea in looked like this :
pool Judaea_wr1ght
regions Judaea
unit judaean zealots, exp 3 cost 3685 replenish 0.125 - 0.25 max 6 initial 5
Change it :
pool Judaea_wr1ght

unit merc judaean zealots, exp 3 cost 3685 replenish 0.125 - 0.25 max 6 initial 5

Yeah, but these elephants are potty-trained!

Only concern I have is that what are the Epirotes going to do? they start with elephants.

The javelins pawn them, after all the AI are fool, if you control them keep them, carefully.

he meant he was worried that the upkeep would penalise Epirus from the beginning because it'd be a huge drain on their economy...

And how do you expect the AI to cope with that?

I still don't do anything with the EDU.txt.

Did you add extra mercenary pools for all the regions that currently aren't part of a mercenary pool?

At least I dug the other part of Crete..... + I added some city-state exclusive pool. (Just look there.) Phrygia pool which in my own submod I'm going to add Phrygian mercs.
That's why I'm going to release a revision of this. Along with the EDU.txt..

Update.
Rev 1 Released!!!!
