Mercenaries?
Are there any plans for implementing a Capitalism Mercenaries mod, where an admin can place down a Contract table at which players can purchase Mercenary contracts? IE: Guardsmen, Archers, Foresters, Miners, Farmers, Hunters, the likes. Simple human NPCs that the player has to regularly pay Glory Coins to in order to keep their contract going. Perhaps the mercenaries could draw the coin from a player's or tribe's bank, as well.

An alternative Admin Mercenaries table would provide permanent contracts, which an admin can use to make a town or fortress seem more lively, either with neutral or hostile mercs. Great for PvE servers that still want a pseudo-PvP feel to it.

Brief edit: If this is indeed in the works, or even possible, another possible feature would be generic villagers that you can hire and assign guards to. Give them an amount of resources you want via a GUI as well as some coins, then send them off as an NPC caravan. They would scan for positions of other player trade tables belonging to other players / tribes, then find a safe route to them and purchase / sell the requested materials from those tables, if available. Admin version would just wander around and randomly buy or sell resources that they acquire over time. Prime targets for bandits or desparate players.

nope that is not planned. This idea is great and would require a lot of time to implement, because such things sound easy, but are not so easy to implement.

Closing, since this thread is quite old.
