Mercenary Barracks (For those who lived through battle)

The Mercenary Barracks would provide an avenue for troops that lived through battle to re-enter the players game. As all mercenaries do, they would cost gold. We currently have troop-cost across all resources with exception to gold.

Ideas for how the Mercenary Barracks would function:
1) Only your troops that live through battle would be available
2) The cost could be a flat fee to buy all troops available or buy a group/ type of unit
3) The troops could have no build time just buy and use (after all you did train them already)

Implementing the Mercenaries

They could be added to current troop camps or maybe as Mercenaries they have their own troop camp... The band of renegades live separate from the new troops thus allowing the game to regulate how many you can use at a given time.

I'd always wanted something like this... doubt it will happen though

It won't happen. I like the idea of recovering troops that were deployed in battle, but SC ruled it out. It's a part of the game strategy to deploy just enough troops, not throw in your entire army and recover half of it.

Turning your idea around might be interesting: what if the defendant was able to recover the surviving troops of an attackers army?...

That's an interesting thought... Perhaps Captured troops? Although the thought of troops left living would imply your base was wrecked. Still could add the same concept, they were left over from battle thus letting them become mercenaries!

I have developed my idea here.

First of all, if they took damage, they'd need to recover, like a hero.


But the main problem with this is that even if you have to pay for the again, and even if it's full cost, it would result in less gem sales (because armies are getting done faster, so no need for gemming), and potential break the raiding economy (because people are able to raid quicker). For these reasons, it won't happen.

Good idea!!!!
I'd train 7 golems for th8's and get all there dark and only 1 golem died 👏👏
