I've noticed that sometimes, when I suspend my merc, the upkeep timer resets to zero, and sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone know why this behaves this way? What are the circumstances which cause the timer to reset?
OK, thanks. I finally found this quote at the link: Be aware that there are time penalties for suspending a mercenary too soon after unsuspending it" So that's the answer. Now, the only question is, how soon is "too soon"?
Less than 4 minutes from what I have seen No, it was more than that. Bah, I forget. Easy to replicate in game and figure it out.
