Re: Mercenary Idea
If we accept the suggestion that the AI won't ever hire other nations' mercenaries, it seems like this would just give Ermor something else to trade other humans for gold, besides gems, items, info, and diplomatic deals. If the other players don't want to buy Ermorian mercenaries, they wouldn't have to. Meanwhile, they would offer unique value to other players (e.g. Nergash can currently sweep indie aquatics if given water-breathing).
Some additional fee probably does make sense though.
So far I don't see any real or new problems with Boobytrap Brigades.
How about the "free teleportation" issue? It would allow an alliance to rapidly deploy forces faster than they otherwise could, because of the usual need to march to a location. Cost to the provider could be based on distance travelled... or there could be a delay for them actually arrive based on the actual travel time it would have required, during which maintenance is still paid. Hmm.
