What is the benefit of mercenaries?
Mercenaries enhance your stats. They can also be sold to make a profit. When you sell a mercenary, you get back the original amount you paid plus a portion of the profit (although we tax each sale, so you'll lose money if you keep buying back the same mercenary). They also increase the amount you gain from winning a battle (this is capped by how much money your own gang can bring in).
Do I get anything if I am bought?
If you are bought, you get a portion of the profit. This amount is limited to $1 million.
How many mercenaries can I own?
You can own 250 mercenaries, but each time you reach game completion and reset, you can own more. See the News Forum for details.
When a mercenary leaves the game (due to a reset or inactivity), how come I only get a portion of the amount I paid back?
This is to prevent a loophole that can be exploited to generate infinite income.
For example, take 2 players (player A and player B) and a mercenary. If player A and B buy the mercenary from each other over and over again (known as volleying), they will make money. If the mercenary then resets, the final owner (let's say player B) will get his final purchase price back, and player A will have kept all the money he made.
Thus the final refund price on a reset must be adjusted by the profits made up to the point of reset.
How much money do I get back when I drop a mercenary or a mercenary leaves the game?
The amount that you receive from dropping a mercenary is 60% (that's 60% of the value you purchased them at, not 60% of their current value). Also, there is no infinite money loophole. Mercenaries drop in value after they are dropped, but their value is higher than the refund amount.
