Money will not always get you good soldiers, but good soldiers can always get you money or land, or power, or whatever you are willing to pay them to fight for. Mercenary presents detailed rules for raising and equipping a mercenary force, training your troops and finding the best or maybe just the cheapest hardware on the market. Units are rated according to their capabilities in critical areas such as direct combat, aerospace defense or bombardment. Unit Traits provide additional capabilities that can tip the balance of a close-fought battle.
