Total War Empires should be at war with mercenary companies while at war with nation they reside in

[Leonardo333]

So im a devouring swarm and eat everyone, but when i take over territory with a mercenary company, they begin paying the devouring swarm dividends...... ummm ok? It just does not make sense.

Fanatical purifiers (space nazis), why would they tolerant alien mercenary companies, also does not make sense

I mean, the mercenaries might not mind who they work for.
And to purifier type empire, since they're paying you to be in your empire I guess they could be temporarily tolerated.
Atleast till you finish galactic conquest.
