Do you lose money for losing on Mercs?

[Argitoth]

If I bid for a merc and don't get it, do I lose all that money?

[Lingchih]

No, you don't lose the money.

[Argitoth]

Thanks. Too bad I don't have enough money to bid on a merc anyone. WHY DON'T YOU SEND ME SOME MONEY? MY GOSH HELP A BROTHER OUT!!!! I'm freaken getting attacked by 3 nations at once and my income is now less than my upkeep.

[Lingchih]

Ahh. Wish I could help. I'm not even sure what game you talking about though. I'm being attacked myself by three nations in Testament of Blood. You don't hear me crying about it though.

[Argitoth]

Well, I could have done something pretty mind-blowing if I had enough gold. I captured a distant province with my spider assassins and I could have hired a large merc army right there to mess things up for my enemies. Too bad!

Anyway, I'm sure you're better off than me. I was the very first one to get attacked in Testament of Blood. You had a bit more time to prepare. Anyway, I'm not going down without a fight. I have many tricks up my sleeve and my enemies are in for a few surprises. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

To preserve the accuracy of the historical record: I believe Pan was the very first one to be attacked in Testament of Blood. Pan was definitely attacked before Machaka, to the best of my knowledge.

Without fighting, Dom3 would just be a really weird version of SimCity. Your enemies are looking forward to more tricks and surprises. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

oh crap... I hope one of my enemies don't buy those mercs. I just spent some resources getting rid of a few already!

dang mercs!

Yes, pan did get attacked first. What the hell happened? He went down like a fly!

It would be a terrible version of SimCity!
