What it´s the point now of the so called "High End" mercenaries?
Long time ago, when your house had only 8 slots, the money were really thigh and the combat was range-centric they made sense. they were expensive, but they have the Ammo Pck, and that was important, they have 150 hits when Bud and the peasant have 75 and they put something extra over the table.
but now? Not counting Clea and Ayden, they don´t bring anything new that make reason for the expense. i have hired Sunderland, to see his quest and after a few combats, I send him to the bench. He is not a good Captain (Cassius it´s far better), and, as a combatant it´s mediocre at best. He have less hit that Trulls and have problems capturing a squireel clad in heavy leather. He is a range combatant the it´s not even Crackshot! After a few combats, I have send him to the bench and replaced in my A Tem with Trulls, with a lot better resuls...
