There are a million solutions to mercs, es is just a little lazy. This one would be ok but it won't stop mercs from being used aggressively midway through the game before gold mines run out. I think the best suggestion i've seen to date is remove all their armor, so they can kill seige like they supposed to but die to an army like they supposed to.

20 caravans is to little. I once had forty, but a very, very small army. No, do what the guy over me ^^ said, lower their armor.

Thx person above me ^^ for using my name to give me credit, lol. Some AOTS expert had the idea so if i have some time i'll go through and find out who to actually give credit to.

Egypt mercs+siege spam has made me think of doing the same that was done for the shades bug. If ES will do nothing about it then we can.

With 8 Ballistas, you deserved to be killed...it must take a whole 12 seconds to rip a TC down with 8 Ballistas, and with 30 Range I cannot see how you lost...

It gets even worse, Isis has extra pop to begin with, and with Medjay the mercs will very often last until they are killed rather than simply expire.

it's rather simple my dear friend elephants are expensive n cost 5 pop while ulsfs cost 2 n a lot less so u prety much get 5 pop with and elel[phant at the same price for 3 ulkfs n i'd say i's easy to kill these guys screw them get a meat shield n get some range attack on the t.c or sneak around them most eggy's don't use walls n allso eggy are out powered by all other cives but due top there building time it all evens out u just haven't find the best way to use ur civ. thats prety much it
