Didn't I read somewhere that they stay with you for a few months, then are up for rehire, though you get a bonus in the subsequent auction if you own them?

That's exactly it - you get them for 3 months, then (if they're still alive at that time) they'll go up for anyone to bid on. Whoever last owned them gets a 2x advantage for each gold they bid.

edit: note - you want to bid on mercs that show 1 month left on their contract - there's no month 0, they just revert to being neutral.

I like how "balanced" the trends in the graphs are - sure, some have far more provinces - but they don't always have the most income. Some have larger armys, but we all know my little mindless monkeys are not exactly a danger.

I'm getting a bunch of emails about how I am submitting multiple 2h files, but I've only submitted one and I am getting multiple emails.

[Anvilfolk]

AlStar, thanks

Also, I seem to be pretty unlucky with income so far, though I've got a fair few resources around. I wonder if that's because of my super sneaky strategy that I definitely won't tell you all about!

Though seriously, I'm taking donations!

Ah. Yes. You see, it turns out that I am simply too good. I hired them with plans to have them all die, and thus had mentally written off the task of re-hiring. Sadly, my superior generalship prevented my mercenaries from dying gloriously as expected.

Guess who just got Nog?

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Caelum not focusing heavily in research is really gonna come bite me in the ass later, isn't it?

Finally, I encounter my first neighbour. Hello!

I don't like flying civilizations, they tend to get their units shredded. I haven't tried it yet but the only solution I have for them is to buff the ever loving hell out of them and then send them all to attack the rearmost enemy.

Just a little fluff note - the center most province is called "Tear of Heaven" and is what ripped the map into two halves. It was never intended to have two nations splash around in that water, but I like it anyway.

From my feelings, I think we have 3 people north of the tear and 3 south, but god only knows... until I expand my spy network.

(Yeah i know the map wraps, but I ... forgot.)

[Sean Mirrsen]

...but god only knows...

How appropriate, considering the circumstances.

[ThtblovesDF]

Was there any player-vs-player combat besides me and Ociana yet?

[Cheeetar]

Not I- I've been very nice to my neighbours.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I've been nice as well, but we, er, just happened to try and seize the same province, which happened to be near my capital. The betentacled monsters from the deeps lack the concept of 'personal space' - who knew?

(Also that was a very poor showing for the quicksilver stampede. Somehow I remember it being far more destructive. Maybe aphrois are just not as good as white centaurs.)
