Well, two things from the previous posts won't be possible. Mercs won't be able to disappear when in battletimeout anymore and you won't be able to leave mercs sitting on maps without thier master. So if you want to camp somewhere you actually have to be there too.
I think there will also be a period of not being able to be hit or move when you spawn into a map too.
As for Mutant mercs, you won't be able to get as many as you can now - and to get to the maximum amount will require a lot more effort than a Ch10 alt. (A level 1 Ch10 alt would be able to get one Mutant, if I remember correctly)
Different Mercs have different requirements, so it would be possible to get a lot of Melee guys, or one of two Mutants, with the same character.

Can we make the assumption that you have altered being able to find mercs on the world map now? Or else the lack of them being able to leave while in a combat timeout may cause problems.

Ultimately, if your a merc leader, from what I see, you're going to have to fight every single encounter to the bitter end unless you wanna lose 1-All (depending on type) of your mercs, so either combat timer is removed from encounters for mercenaries.... or something... The very build will go more extinct than it already has. If anything wiped out.

Ok I like the idea... to stop people from using rocket mercs like bombers, popping in and out of towns. But i do see a problem with this.
we know th only way to escape a battle while in a car is to be in real time, right? So say you're with your mercs, riding in your hummer... and you get a random encounter. 1 merc fires off a shot before you can jump in the hummer and leave. Is he left behind?

Not really, AI is good enuogh if you're an experience leader.
But if you cannot even manage them correctly because you can't go anywhere with them...
