Please inform me if there are any issues or mistakes you've managed to find within the list.

[EoNightcore]

@Ciocanaru Can't; they're not recruitable, unless one mods the game to make them recruitable/hirable.

Recruitable mercenaries requires modifying the export_building_descr.txt file.
Hirable mercenaries requires modifying the descr_mercenaries.txt file within sub-folders of the campaign folder.

[Ciocanaru']

Could you make a guide on how to recruit the non hireable mercenaries perhaps?

[Kamui173]

Honestly, I always wondered why certain mercenaries were religion exclusive. On the one hand, I get it if its one of their occasional codes of honor and a product of their upbringing, but on the other hand? You're mercenaries! You fight for pay and pay only! What's the difference if a couple of frankish knights serve the freakin' moorish or egyptians? They got florins for days! Ah well, just a random thought I had lol

[EoNightcore]

@Hacov B It's partially because I got bored halfway through making the guide; I mean, I haven't even finished making and formatting the Crusades guide, or even adding the other campaign mercenaries to this guide.

[Havoc]

Nice guide, I always wondered why Galloglaichs differed from their mercenary brethren.

Side note, the guide does appear to be missing some units from other campaigns, like the Alamanoi Heavy Infantry from the Crusades for example.

@treegrowth
Sorry about that, never fully finished it because it was taking too long. I've moved on since than, but I might revisit this guide one day.

[Treegrowth]

and where are these mercanaries?
All the location slots just say "location here" What dose that mean?
