FAQ/Obelisk and mercenaries

Mercenaries appear in the castle only after Obelisk of Glory is built. Their types, characteristics and prices can be viewed in the castle in the tab "Mercenaries".

As we can see on the picture, now available for recruitment are 38 Horse Archers, 6 Royal Guards, 49 Highwayman and other, this is just an example, their count is not constant. More than that it is more often that none are available then there are any :). They dont appear RIGHT after the Obelisk is built and also NOT in big amounts, so it is better not to expect all kind of mercenaries inflow, you will have to wait a day or more, sometimes 3-4 days for full assortment, but it can also happen that some mercenaries do not appear even within a week.

In the castle, right there, in the Mercenaries tab there is a button "Call for Arms", you can see it on the picture on the top and right, to call for arms costs 50 gold, after doing so some amount of the mercenaries will certainly appear.

To hire mercenaries having resources is not enough, you should consider having Mercenary Points that can only give Obelisk Of Glory. Right after Obelisk is Built player is given 100 Mercenary points, second level Obelisk gives 240 and so on. 10 level Obelisk requires 6890 of population which is a one city population, so it is the best to have an individual city for Obelisk.

After (and if) Obelisk is demolished all mercenaries for which there won't be enough mercenary points are dying :(. If you have obelisk that you don't want to demolish but want it in the other city you can move it by paying quite a lot - 650 of gold.

Not so long ago a new building has appeared, it also gives mercenary points - Fointain of Glory. To build and upgrade it you will need gold and also Fountain gives twice less points then takes population.

Mercenary points can be earned not just from Obelisk of Glory but also can be received from a vassal or order knight. To do so first invest resources or gold into Obelisk of Glory in the tab "Obelisk":

Invest some amount of resources, to get right to own one vassal, then 2 and so on. When making a treaty with a vassal you can declare, besides paying gold and resources also paying with mercenary points, so that the vassal will give them to you from its Obelisk. So the amount of mercenary points will be only limited by your might.

Count of available for buying mercenary points shows on the left top corner, on the green band near to the star - on the first picture - as it can be seen now there are 440. So having as many you can hire for example 36 Highwayman and 73 Royalguards, all sort of combinations in count and kind are possible. After mercenary is dead mercenary points are returned, resources - no.

You can only have one Obelisk for all your towns, when capturing another town the extra Obelisk will be demolished automatically if you already have an Obelisk in your other town.

Hiring mercenaries is allowed in castle of any town, not only where Obelisk is built.

In the March-April a new type of mercenaries appeared in the game, those can only be hired in the Obelisk or Fountain of Glory, read more about them in the articles «наёмники» и «лагерь наёмников».
