Is it at all possible to create a mechanism whereby there is a delay between hiring mercenaries and their arrival?

I'm guessing no, but it breaks immersion for me that mercenaries more or less teleport in after you hire them.

Thanks!

No, there's nothing you can do about that.

 

[Bernie77]

Thanks! As mentioned I'm not surprised. Is there perhaps a way, once mercenaries are hired, that could prohibit you from hiring more for a period of time?

 

[Whizzer]

That might be possible, using on_mercenary_hired to set a flag, and checking for that flag having been set at least some time in allow of the mecenary band's title definition. I think that would mean disallowed merc bands don't show up, rather than showing a tooltip that explains why they can't be hired, however.

Thanks, that sounds interesting. I don't think I'm the only one who may have a problem with the mercenary 'teleporting" am I?
