[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8264592, member: 7030132"] But kobolds are considered cowardly and there is nothing worse on the battlefield that one part of your army suddenly runs away. Also, there is not THE type or mercenary you want. In some situations, especially when you already have a good army and just want to hire some extra power, you want some big, dumb aggressive brute who charges into battle and doesn't understand that they are fodder. A dead mercenary doesn't want to get paid. In other situations, especially when you do not have a good army of your own you want competent mercenaries with brilliant tactics who wage the war for you and are hopefully so honourable to not leave you in the middle of the war or exploit the fact that you are completely defenceless without them. And sometimes you want specialists for something your own army can't do. Here I can see kobolds for their trapmaking and for tunneling (tied with dwarven mercenaries). And in other cases you want people who are so happy about being paid that they stay absolutely loyal so you can trust them over your own men. [/QUOTE]
