Why the hell would they mean mercenary? Why would all the mercenary parties be peaceful? Do you even know what a mercenary is? And why would they all be carrying loads of goods if they were mercenaries?
Fun game but it's too easy. After half an hour it just gets boring. Maybe if the cities got progressively more difficult to capture or something. Also in the battle mode I found my character unable to attack sometimes because it couldn't face up or down which was annoying. And the enhanced weapons and armour were a nice touch except the effects were on a too-big a scale. It got to the point where I was wearing really simple stuff just for the enhancement which seems kind of pointless and also made my character look kind of poor. But apart from that it was fun.
