Thief tags you as you go out of town, like a tent tagger, but steals you as soon as world map loads, and then quits following you.
But for original suggestion: Yes, it would be much more convenient to be able to trade with mercs on the world map.
Who said ANYTHING about being able to steal on the world map? People are throwing ideas into my OP...
Being able to trade with mercs THAT YOU OWN, on the world map... NOT STEAL FROM PLAYERS, OR FROM OTHER MERCS..
You can't put down an idea by putting in some horrible idea into mine. Being able to trade with mercs/slaves that you own on the world map is nothing but a good, clean, convenient idea.
again, NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT STEALING. Stealing SHOULD NOT be allowed on the world map.
