same happens all the time. Im not saying all tttla are bad, you have many cool guys, but still as a faction you cant neither accept defeats or harsh game reality :>
First, I did not quote the name of Chosen Soldiers (i admit I gave some clues

) because I didn't want some trollers to come in this suggestion topic (fail).
Second, a CS member told me on IRC that they did use proxies (13 mercs leaders for 65 mercs) and that they did this to protest against the fact we swarmed them.
=> CS are usually not afraid to tell us when they use proxies or not=> btw it doesn't change the fact that they are good pvp players.
Third and most important, I do not blame them for that and futhermore I really think it was an interesting beta testing behaviour => if the game was released as it is, it would be very easy for everyone to prepare many lvl 1 characters with many mercs to spawn over a city.
Fourth, my suggestion proved to be obsolete since Solar answered they have already planned to modify mercs system.
