How to use

Step 1: Conquer a civs original capital OR eliminate the civ from game by capturing their final city.
Step 2: Build the required district or Merc company building in your cities.
Step 3: Research the tech needed for the unit.
Step 4: Train the unit in all cities with the Merc Building from step 2
Step 5: Conquer your enemies!

Note: The AI will also use this, so expect to see them training and using units of those they’ve conquered.

Historical Context

Throughout history conquering nations have adapted the vanquished into their own armies as mercenaries. During the wars of Alexander the great, his Macedonian armies included Greek hoplites, Romans used Gauls and other conquered "barbarians" as forced levies and mercenaries, and of course the English used and incorporated the welsh longbow and Scottish Highlanders into their regular fighting forces.
