Mercenaries/henchmen/soldiers

[lord_modred]

im thinking that mabey it would be a good idea to implement henchmen in the NS world... however, you couldnt just get them whenever for 100 gold.

as i could see it, there would be two kinds of henchmen: mercenaries and soldiers.

the mercenaries would not be in every city, they would be in neutral area's such as avendale, giant staggered inn, ect... and the same mercenaries would not always be at the same place, mabey sometimes there would be no mercenaries at all. in addition to this, any mercenary worth his salt would be exceedingly expensive.

now soldiers would have to be acuired through a job, some kind of military oriented job, and the type of soldier you could acuire would depend on the part of the the military you own(assasin=covert, scout=reconissance, warrior=assault, ect) and the number of soldiers you could have in your party would depend on your military rank. of course you wouldnt be able to aquire soldiers immediatley... you would have to climb your way up the ranks to get the ability to take soldiers.

and you get to equip them with gear you find
and heal stuff
and can talk to them to get them to heal themselves at certain damage levels, barely scratched, injured, badly wounded, nearly dead.
