Mercenaries

[Shadow]

The way mercs are set up now a leaderer will always be at a disadvantage to an indier as far as the ability to set up a troop defense goes because the amounts of troops in mercs are all the same, and is a relatively small number for all 4 types relative to land. They also refill at the same rate. An indier, on the other hand, can make 6x as many rats as skiffs and will always give him the offensive edge given similar starting conditions.

My suggestion: make the amount of troops and fill rate in mercenaries affected by the same multipliers as indy troop values. I believe they are:

rats = 1.2
weasels = 0.6
stoats = 0.3
skiffs = 0.2

Thoughts?

yep thats about the only advantage over leaders i think we should keep it the way it is because you always have the advantage over indyers because we cant have a good leader defence.
