  • Team Mercenary Public discussion thread

    Hi all!

    Just to clue you all in on some of the things brewing in the Merc forum that we'ld actually enjoy hearing from you prospective clients about:



    Rental format:

    Right now our rental charges are going to include 3 parts:

    1: charge for the unit. This will be based off the hammer cost of the unit in question. (no exact % yet)

    2: charge for support costs for unit(s) being out of Team Merc territory.

    3: Rebate for all units rented that return alive.

    All units will stay in Merc control in this format. And, we will execute any orders you wish during that time. Including suiciding to soften up a target. However, we plan on including the rebate to those teams who do not treat our units as fodder.



    Team Mercenary Defense statement:

    I'll get it all formal sounding later, and up in our proper thread that will have all the final details. But just to get it out here ASAP.

    As stated in our thread, we will not be attacking anyone for our own gain. We will defend ourselves to the best of our ability however. In the event that our lands are invaded, and the attack is repelled, Team Mercenary reserves the right to seek fair compensation in terms of any in-game assets (lands, resourses, tech, gold, etc) from the offending team.


    Please, let us know if you have any comments on what you think the % of cost should mean, or any changes you think should take place in the system.

      I would also include an option to buy troops from the Mercs, instead of just renting...
      You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

        Probably going to be 'no' on both counts but no guarantees as yet.

          Absolutely. There is plans in the works for such as well, but far less complicated, just need to work out costs.

              Now there's an option I believe would be shot down. It's usually a part of the "rules charters" of the various DGs that what used to be leader farming in Civ3 (and now could be called promotion farming) was outlawed.

                How about treating Merc as just any other team?

                  Agreeing with both GB and Roth, "promotion farming" would certainly be a violation of any ruleset I could imagine ... just like it would be for any other team

                      That is something that we need to decide. Perhaps the code of conduct that was developed for Civ3 intra-site demogames would be a good place to begin. It just needs to be updated for Civ4.

                      A start on it is here.

                            No.

                            In general, we will avoid anything that appears dishonorable. This would certainly fall under that category.

                              Absolutely not. Like any team, we'll grab what we can, and not enforce some artificial limit.

                              2. Oders for rented units by PM.
                              PM or email. Speaking personally, PM would be better to get ahold of me. We'll get official contact info up once the team is a little more settled.

                              3. Frequent rental discount
                              That's not a bad idea. rent 10 get one free or something...
