Finally got released from my Clan contract, and decided to sign up to a House as a loyalist, but now my victory C-bill rewards are far lower than as a clan. Do Houses pay less or something? Or are victory rewards tied to rank?

It changes. PGI tries to sway the population with increased rewards. The Clans were vastly outnumbered and losing ground so we got a payout increase. We're probably about due for it to change again.

Ohhh, ok, that makes sense. Still kinda new to CW and this was my first time playing for a House so had no idea why I was getting paid less.

Your contract length also has to do with LP earning...not sure about Cbills.

A Perm con get you a large bonus, shorter ones get less (obviously)


So if you were permcon somewhere and then went for a 1 week you will see a difference that way not to mention the global earnings each factions gets.

The lower a faction's population, the more the faction pays out to get more people to 'play' it. As such, Liao often has the highest pay. >.> Rassalhague often has incredibly high pay as well.

When selecting your faction, you get a contract which includes pay information. The typical is 100,000. Sometimes it goes up to 150,000, and the lowest I've seen was 75,000.

Yeah, I went from Jade Falcons to these guys, so I went from 125,000 a win to 50,000. Pretty big of a difference x.x

Clan mechs are also supposed to cost twice as many c-bills in battletech, so...

Only if you cannot read.

Still, it would be nice if there was a social area in the game, like a mercenary hiring hall (or a Clan batchall bidding center), where we could view contracts and see who is currently paying the most C-bills.

It would be even better if the contracts changed dynamically to help direct mercenaries to the hot spots on the map where they are needed the most.

Except for ghost drops.
