Useless mercenaries

[papier]

The mercenary camp is seriously filled with useless mercenary's. While the raiders have been buffed from 3x to 4x damage, the merc raiders haven't which makes them kinda useless. The enlighment age merc archer does LESS damage then the medieval age one, this should as well be fixed. The heavy cavalary (mahout and hessians) is weaker then my hussar. The only useful mercs are the flame tanks and maybe the gurkha's. Seriously all the rest mercs need MAJOR BUFFS.

I completely disagree. Mahouts are amazing, ronin are decent too. You're free to not use them, but any troop is better than no troops. It's not like they are hard to get.

I love the Gurkha units. Once you eliminate mortars they will move in and mow down everything like a hot knife going through butter.

I wish we still had the option of buying Mahouts instead of only Flampanzers at max level. 2 Mahouts have a lot more HP than panzers and go for defenses, which is sometimes preferable to the panzers which go for everything.

I feel they should give 2 HC instead of one when you buy it. It's not really worth it to me for 1 HC. The rest are ok.

I agree with the OP. I would also like to see all mercs upgraded at the same time with a new camp. Its silly that my 20th century Industrial age merc camp is still using 16th century Tercios as the archer unit. Ditto on the Hessian cavalry.

Upgrade your merc camp. You basically named the two units he did (Flame tank replaces elephants and Gurkhas replace Ronin)

I agree, mercs are expensive for the stats they really have, and I'm only using them because I want to complete the mercs hiring achievement, but I really think their stats are low for their price, or maybe their price should be lowered.

I happen to agree with Odie. Mahouts are great and ronin too. But, Ronin you need atleast two armies for it to spam the base and be very useful. I also like using Templar knights. I'm waiting to upgrade my merc army and find out what are the better mercenaries available.

I would upgrade it if i could? Thanks for the advice though.

Do understand the frustration but they are the first units I deploy in a war to draw the fire while my superior units get down to some serious damage...so there not completely useless

 

[Brand Marrow]

I only use mercs for WW, the flamepanzers are essential for taking out artillery in enemy town centers and getting 5 star victories

 

[Funks]

I agree with OP, either make them stronger or lessent the sheer amount of tarde goods you need to retrain them! .. because of this I hardly ever use them

Raider Mercs kinda suck, save your leather and cider for Loot Blessings....
