People nowadays say mercenaries aren't good enough. I am not sure if that is true since there are civs that can use them late game.
I was wondering since in TAD, the missionary can increase stats for your units up to ~50%, I put it on my mercenaries to see if they were stronger than the normal units. So I put in the cards for Ronin and The Holcan Spearman in my deck to see what would happen. With the Advanced arsenal, Team infantry attack increased, missionaries, and the church upgrade my Ronin had ~103 base Hand attack with x3 against cav. My Fusilers had about ~105 Base Attack. People said I was a noob for using mercenaries to fight though, but I basically destroyed their army. The only problem is that they take up hefty pop space.
I am not sure but the Sioux also has a huge Mercenary attack force with the teepees with the Outlaws and Pisteleros. I think with all the teepees, the Outlaw can get up to ~216 base range attack. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Germans also get good mercenaries too.
So if you actually read the above, I am saying is it okay to use Mercenaries in lategame and if it is worth using them.
