Thanks Wotan!

Copied and pasted into the corresponding file - yet no luck

You need to create a new file in the mod folder, editing the original files in the Steam folder does not work. For example in my folder structure it is in the following:

Documents\My Games\GC3Crusade\Mods\MyMods\Game

Ah. Gotcha. Give it a shot here directly.

What name is to be given the new file?

Thanks again Wotan

The files in the mod folder have the same name as the originals, in your case MercenaryTiersDefs.xml. Just copy and paste the file above into a notepad file called MercenaryTiersDefs.xml and pout into your mod folder as indicated in my post. That should do the trick, works fine for me.

Outstanding! Give it shot directly. 

Thank you Wotan!
