Well, it's up to the player. We would never force the purchase of a Mercenary in order to play the game (progression).

However, its tactical advantage and gold acquisition capability are undeniable.

Exactly, hence they don't need a buff

Never said they are getting a buff.

Dave asked for it

Mercenaries do not have any healing cost and therefore they provide a gold bonus in every battle. They are quite useful in the battlefield since they have special abilities which when used correctly they can provide a great advantage to the player.

Well I used a spider for 10 days, until the contract expired and the spider refused to spin any more webs for me, so I dismissed the spider.

From my experience with the special abilities of the spider ... it takes quite a long time to get good at using its special abilities (web other units in place)

The first week, I was pretty disappointed in the spider; but the last few days, I was finally getting quite good at using the web ability to gain an advantage on the battlefield.

My point is, it take quite a while to learn, understand, experiment &  use the special abilities ... the special abilities though are quite useful after you get good with them

So take this as encouragement, to keep it up with mercenaries to find their full benefits.  Dragon Longbows took me 2 week to play properly; same with Royal Guard, & Elysian Chariots ... so its normal for new units to take a while to understand how to use.

[The reason I dismissed the spider, is I want to try out all 6 mercenaries; after which I'll decide which two I prefer to use]
