The idea of mercenaries is great , but the way it works at the moment is awful . In order to hire them you have to chase/find the leader on the map and pray it doesn't leave in 2 sec after joining . Since noone does that , enemies end up hiring all of them and fielding huge armies otherwise impossible for them to hire . It keeps dying kingdoms alive for no reason and it's overall a nuissance in the game , especially late game .
