what's the point in hiring mercs who aren't at all familiar with your language, culture, or geography/climate?

>>64745607funny how the current pop culture image of the mercenary is that of a seasoned veteran who's more competent than regular conscripted militia, when most of the times it was the exact opposite. mercs were hired simply because the lord didn't have to pay for their food, training or equipment, they were a ragtag bunch of misfits but ready to go. and best of all, their officers were not part of the cadre of scheming backstabbing nobles looking for any opportunity to usurp him, so having a general not close to court affairs was useful. the con was that you obviously had no control on it besides the pay.
>>64745627Not one of them looks drunk. So what do you think?
It's like hiring any good help - it is hard and you learn to settle. Sometimes that best you can get is quite bad.
