Gameplay
Recruiting
Mercenaries are available for recruiting in various locales throughout Middenhelm. When a captain wishes to hire mercenaries they must search through a town for hirelings. Potential recruits will expect a certain amount of pay based on their training and equipment owned.
Finding Hirelings (B517)
IQ Roll (modified by city size) once per half-uke (~7 days) to find a hireling. May substitute the following skills:
- Administration: for formal corporate-style hiring
- Current Affairs: if seeking prominent “world experts”
- Propaganda: aggressive recruiting
- Streetwise: seeking criminals
Example Mennesker Mercenaries
Cost includes pay and equipment maintenance costs.
- Dagast (Scout) Inferior Training with Poor Equipment (10 HT/HP) - ₡317
- Simesus (Infantry) Inferior Training with Basic Equipment (11 HT/HP) - ₡358
- Ellik (Cavalry) Good Training with Good Equipment (11 HT/HP) - ₡1950
- Asaer (Scout Rider) Good Training with Basic Equipment (12 HT/HP) - ₡1350
- Albliev (Infantry) Inferior Training with Poor Equipment (11 HT/HP) - ₡333
Other Hirelings
Mercenary Captains may want to hire other non-combat personnel, such as:
- Surgeon
- Trainer
- Administrator
- Entertainer

- Armorer
- ...or whatever they deem necessary.
Finding a Job (B518)
Kings, Jarls, and Thanes often have jobs for Mercenary Troops.
Mercenary Captains seeking a job may roll against IQ once per half-uke (~7 days) to if he finds work for his troop. Modifiers include:
