I was just wondering if there has been any official word on the "Mercenary Problem" about balancing out the mercs in the next patch?Because frankly its quite ridiculous..
In a game just a few moments ago, I had taken down an enemies forward base, and was storming their main base with a significantly large army, I had destroyed all their military buildings and then went to destroy his two tc's...But my entire army were slaughtered by mercs..

Did you win?
Anyway there is no patch. Maybe one in a month or two or six or never.
I think mercenaries are strong, yeah but not invincible. I don't like to fight them and if my enemy spams a lot of them (enough so that the odds aren't in my favor) then he's just won himself a minute to rebuild while I retreat.
Everyone seems to be drawn into these battles with Mercenary and TC. Leaving your forces committed can be a problem but if you had destroyed all military buildings as you said then you'd STILL be up after his mercenaries die.
"This is not an announcement of a patch, just an update on what we're doing."
One month... two months... six months... maybe never. Don't count on patches to save you -- use what you got, make the best of it, outplay your opponent and win!
