Well, you should probably trust Krischan (a Moderator) more than you should trust me ^^
I'll search around online and see if I can find anything. If I can, I'll edit this post.
Cheers,

Edit: I couldn't find anything on the subject. I guess Krischan was right.

I'm assuming things from time to time for tactical reasons, hoping that people are more likely to respond if they know things better than a mod :whistling:
I'm not really sure about speed on mercs, but why shouldn't heavy armor slow them down if they can be slowed as well ? Anyway, run speed isn't really important for the merc. Half of the time they want to do the wrong things and being late at doing that will give you the opportunity to eliminate the threat, so I guess it evens out with being quick to run to a strategical position. Also, if you want to have your merc at a certain place, better don't rely on him going to there, but position him there yourself, by a TP or teleportation.

I wasn't sure what type of armor I was getting in a trade, but it turned out to be a light armor anyway, so I made Wealth for my merc in that. Thinking about it further, it probably wouldn't matter in this case very much. It's for my gold find Barb's Merc, and he only has to run from the trav wp to the council (and i go down the stairs to durance 1 then back up, to keep him with me, so he doesn't have a lot of walking to do. Thanks guys
