WHAT?!?!?!

by Crushar » April 15th, 2013, 11:26 am

So I was reading this thread on the Infinity Forums... http://infinitythegame.com/forum/index.php?/topic/16085-booty-level-2-authorized-bounty-hunters/

And I was shocked to see our own Pierzasty and IJW having a conversation that I had never heard of (I kinda shortned it up for everyone)!

IJW:
Yes, vanilla factions and ISS can run three Bounty Hunters. Outside ITS events, that means that ISS could run six Bounty Hunters plus Sforza!


Pierzasty:
Err what? ISS has AVA 3 for bounty hunters and that's it, it doesn't stack


IJW:
yes it does. Outside of ITS restrictions, Sectorials get the normal AVA for Mercs in addition to what's listed for their Sectorial. Qapu Khalki, for example, can theoretically take seven Yuan Yuan at once.


Pierzasty:
Where is it written? It's the first time I hear about it.
Also, ISS still can't take 6 bounty hunters. They're explicitly banned from sectorials, so I assume that rule doesn't apply here anyway.


IJW:
It's got nothing to do with Sectorial AVA v. General AVA. Mercenary units added to a force have their own AVA values and the ones already in the Sectorial come from the Sectorial's AVA.


I understand that this is outside of ITS play but still...WOW! I have never heard that before! I was going to jump onto that thread but I didn't want to derail it further and I figured my voice might get drowned out a bit but....WOW! That is kinda a big thing! I don't really know how I missed this ruling on the official forums but this...just WOW.....

Thought I would share in case anyone beisdes me missed this.

Edit: I just realized that this could mean that I could run 8 MUTTAWI´AH (If I were running a Hassassin Sectorial List) in a non-ITS game for 40 points! Did I say WOW before?

This only applies to Merc units... Muttawi'ahs aren't Mercs so the double AVA doesn't apply. As IJW says, it's Merc AVA + Sectoral Merc AVA. You can however get 7 Yuan Yuans in QK.

I still wouldn't agree to 6 ABH in Imperial Service, as using general merc rules to circumvent an unit-specific rule is abuse to me. Apart from that, it seems I'll have to read up on Mercs in general.

And I was all :shock: when I saw that coversation reposted here :P

Yeah, the best moments is where someone's trying to convince you that you're nobody compared to X who published Y (i.e. you under a different nick) :P

I would say the ABH couldn't stack do to their Units Special Restrictions but a lot of others would work out pretty potent. It might even be a nice way to get a lot of cheap orders easily for someone who likes Mercs and wants to get into a new faction.

Keep in mind this is for non-ITS play. When legalizing mercs in the first place balance goes out the window a bit lol.
