Wilderness Defenses

From the Patch Notes :

Wilderness Defenses!

Lords and Ladies who struggle to keep your Wildernesses under control while your armies continue to wage war, fear not! Two factions have stepped forth to aid in your defense: the Trapmaker’s Guild has established a new office in Camelot, and Mercenaries are now offering their services to the highest bidder.

• Traps can be installed in any controlled Wilderness at a cost of 200 gold per Trap. Other than their different cost and build time, these Traps function identical to Traps that are on player’s Walls.
  * You can also hire Mercenaries to defend your Wildernesses! There are three levels of Mercenaries available – Novice, Intermediate and Veteran, each with varying levels of strength. Mercenaries appear immediately upon hire and bill for their services hourly. If some of your Mercenaries are destroyed, they will automatically refill to full strength the next time you are billed for their services (i.e. hourly).
  * You can choose to set Traps, hire Mercenaries or both. If all of your Defenses are destroyed, your opponent will gain control of your Wilderness.
  * In level 9 wildrnesses, at least one player reports being charged 300 gold/trap even though the price listed is 200 gold.
  

Several players on different domains are in the process of testing these defenses. Please feel free to edit this page when you know the exact numbers of Mercenaries on the different levels of wildernesses. All that's known right now is that you can build 100 traps per level of wild.

Scouting reports for Actual amounts of mercenaries for lvl 10 Wilderness ==

This is the amount of troops that will be placed in a lvl 10 wilderness if you hire the mercenaries to defend for you. Remember they are costly and if unpaid they desert your wild.
