[2022] How to raise my hired mercs?

You're telling me to click 'raise all armies', right? Already did that - only my own troops raised, the mercs did not. And now the raise all troops button is no longer clickable as explained above; no offence but please read what's written beyond the just the title, before replying.

In fact just to reinforce what I've said above, the mercs contract has now expired yet the number of troops I have raised has not reduced, which illustrates they were not among those raised troops. Also looks like I will still lose this war anyways due to AI Byzantines constantly walking by and ignoring opponent sieging down main war target. And no I can't get those guys to follow me because I'm not the war leader (even though the war is for MY county).

Your troops overall were raised, including the mercs, they probably faced attrition or causalities from the battle in the war you ended prior to this one you are trying to raise them for.

Please don't necropost old threads like this, as the context they were originally posted in is highly unlikely to still be relevant. You're strongly encouraged to make your own thread if you can't find any threads that have been active in the last 8-12 months.
