Mercenary/provincial unit upkeep cost

Post by m4121c »

Hi

Question regarding provincial/mercenary unit upkeep cost


I know that their hiring cost is increasing with every new unit

But what about the upkeep cost? Still the same? Or increasing as well?

standard mercenary don't have an increase in buy cost per unit.

As for increase in upkeep per unit, the general rule is that it applies only at experienced level or higher.

That's new information for me

So the more experienced your unit, the more expensive is their unit upkeep?

Just wanted to clarify,
In general, besides the experience factor,
The unit upkeep cost is mostly flat rate, no matter how many you have,

Only the hiring cost will just keep increasing

It would be helpful to see the total maintenance cost of an army listed on the army panel. Also would be helpful to see the maintenance cost of each unit in the unit panel when hovering over the unit in the army panel.

Yes, that's something on my list.

I mean at the 'experienced level of difficulty', units will cost more if they are experienced. Not at balanced difficulty.
