qustion about necromacers mercenary

[AniMaTheEarth]

I have played for quite awhile, the skelotons crossbow, spear and swords in mercerary tab doesnt spawn again after you use them, is this normal? its just zombies most of the time?

I think it has randomnes in it, different rgions might affect it too, not sure tought.

[Javesh]

Was wondering about this myself. Think i heard something about if there is an enemy army in the region then you can not get any free units either. U only get basic ones though, but the Zombies ar good to have in battle. Just place one or two of them in the front of your ranks and let them take the brunt of the charge. Then pelt the enemy with arrows or catapult shots. When they break you just chase them down with cav. Win win

This is the entire descr_mercenaries.txt. If I'm reading it correctly, zombies replenish 3-4 units per 10 turns in the entire Empire, minus Stirland, compared to the 1-2 of foot skeleton troops.

[AniMaTheEarth]

i m sure its more the 10 turns

any way to change the script?

[Kahvipannu]

You can make changes to the script (Call_of_warhammer/data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign/), but it won't propably be save-game compatible, new game is required for them to take effect. Also, making a back-up is always recommended before messing with the files.

This thread helps a bit to understand the script in question:
