Mercenary : Bug, weird thing, and suggestion

[Dakk]

If you look at your advisor, he will have a chance to create a claim. If (like for Matilda) it is 10% a year, then the average is 10 years. If the advisor is less skilled, then it will be a lower chance, and thus a longer payoff time.

Wouldn't that be 5 years on average?

Also, arent mercs shared by each realm? In my game as Bohemia, the HRE hired some and it said so in the merc list.

I noticed interesting thing about mercenaries (maybe it`s a bug) - they have councillors:

What is their purpose?

even better...what would an alliance (as seen with mainguy there) give you? free access to their troops?

Bug
1. Victual Brother 300g merc can bankrupt your country in 1 month, their real monthly payment is around 2000g/month not 20g/month. (thanks to Hroppa and jpr123)

This point is actually very important and hopefully fixed in the full game - I tried Norway and hired those guys, resulting in bankruptcy.

It's pretty much guaranteed that you'll get one within ten years, but you know how probability goes. And if the base .1 odds aren't the only thing in play, all bets are off. I agree that prestige definitely seems to factor into things.
