Reworking of the merc system

<< < (3/4) > >>

Ghosthack:
Perhaps the best solution in the end would be to have mercs level long with you, i.e their level = your_level*possible_modifier (with some limit, of course). This means that mercs are as viable for a level 1 guy as for a level 17 guy, and merc will level along the way, so no need to discard them to get new ones.

well if i understand right, then lvl 21 character who bought mutants would have them at lvl 21 instantly? If yes, then each level should cost a lot, so you could have a choice, to buy them more cheap and level up yourself, or to buy them way more expensive and leveled up :/

and the biggest drawback of your suggestion is that for example i need merc that fight with hammers, so i have to stick myself to one particular level or if i will level up more i wont be able to buy those mercs this is not encouraging to play when you need to do nothing to reach your goal.

You misunderstood, when you reach x level you unlock the ability to buy that kind of merc. I'm not saying once you hit 21 you can only buy metal armour guys. This was to address the complaints that you can get end game mercs at lvl 1.

Solar:
So then logically combining both would be good. Gradually more types are unlocked as you go and they get starter levels depending on your char level too.

Then you can still get the "weak" merc types that have a high starting level.

vedaras:
Well in this way i think it could be make like

You are lvl 1-5 lvl so you can buy these mercs as author said. All these mercs come out at their first level.

You are 5-10 level, you can buy 5-10 lvl mercs which will be at lvl 1, and 1-5 lvl mercs which will start with level 5.

You are lvl 10-15 you can buy, lvl 10-15 mercs which will be at lvl 1, and lvl 5-10 mercs which will be at lvl 5, and 1-5 lvl mercs which will be at lvl 10.

and same for rest

that would solve level 21 mutants problem and then leveling up of mercs could even stay the same as now.
