Count FWar mercs as having been in fwars. This allows people to have merc factions, and not worry about starting Fwars with them. Thus allowing mercs to drift from the ranks of the major alliances exclusively. Mercs don't need to gain the benefit of the increased multipliers, just not have to worry about losing the ones they have. Comments? Ardor -------------------- Aut Mors Aut Victoria.

I think that if someone LWs with their empire it should count as them FWing regardless of what the rest of his/her faction is doing .

If someone is out shooting things while their faction is doing nothing I don't think they should suffer because of it. -------------------- "What we do in life echos into eternity.

Mercs should not Auto-Dow. Mercs should be restricted to only working for empires thier level or higher. With the new focus on FDoWs, mercs will become very useful. Also, I have been informed it is being discussed with Randy a way to remove the disadvantages for individual empires if they war enough. So that may take care of the situation here, but yes it is needed. ATM, a empire that LWs is still screwed if the FL doesn't declare a FDoW. Low Maint and lower Multis would trash my entire empire design yet I'm willing to LW to remove it. Only thing that worries me about this is again implimentation. Remember we still have someone in charge who seems to think a large empire can possibly get a impossibly high lw rating. So I'd expect empires will need to get a war rating above a enormously high number to remove the penalties of thier faction not FDoWing. The only problem with my being so synical is the fact that I'm usually right..

Actually randomly enough, our city council thought about putting "Dundee: City of Discovery" on top of a hill in the centre of town. Maybe thankfully they decided against it. -------------------- Whalefsh What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you excercise it? To whom are you accountable?
