Title: Mercenaries and levelling
Post by: Tommy Lau on August 08, 2010, 05:25:31 am
Mercenary, Dog, Slave, Brahmin, you name it.

But mostly; I would be very thankful if someone could tell me if a dog can level up, much like a mercenary.

Dogs count as mercenaries, and should level up. Slaves are bugged and don't level up. I'm not sure about brahmin, but they don't even have commands about combat, and they don't attack people, so you wouldn't be able to level one up anyway.

No clue about all slaves, but all my bandits caught (both critters of them) got next lvl without problem.

speaking of which, any concrete stages of levelling the mercs anyways? like, how many times they level up, what their starting levels are, their xp rate?

To a... very limited extent.

they can lvl up 21 times, (militia are simply lvl 21 mercenaries) they start at lvl 1, 1000 exp till next lvl up, lvl 2, 3000 exp till next lvl up, etc.

Thought that they leveled up slower than players, or is that a false item?

Yes, so did Armalite. I don't have slaves myself, the people that have slaves at our base always just say they can't level up. So maybe Trappers are the only exception.

Hmmm, How do they level up,
Do they kill the mobs to level up, or is it a split exp from what you kill?

They level exactly like you, so you kill stuff. And yes its a very slow and painfull process
