I was just wondering if anyone else here is having the same province....
For some reason i cant send mercs with my army in an attack. I'll show the necessary info below.

  • I'm playing as an Orc Warhero
  • I'm trying to do a learn on an enemy province with unfriendly status on both sides
  • I'm sending 3215 of my own troops, no horses
  • Utopia says you can send 1 merc per 4 troops (total 803 mercs)
  • The cost per merc stated by utopia is 262 Gc
  • i have 180,959 Gc (690 Mercs)


Since i can only pay for 690, i'm trying to send 690 mercs. however i get the following message:

"You can only send one Mercenary or Prisoner for every 5 loyal troops we send. For this attack, we are limited to 643 Mercenaries & Prisoners. Please give your orders again."

So apparently this stuff isnt coherent... so i try to send 643 Mercs with my army (which is barely enough) and i get the following message:

"You cannot afford that many Mercenaries!"

Now i cant make the bloody attack for some stupid BUG. How can something this stupid slip in? and is anyone else having the same problem?
