If I actually got myself motivated enough I could probably whip up a real crappy automated SRPG for mercs. Just have several AI settings for each character and let the leader pick which ones are used, then let them go at eachother. Course, getting the stats/abilities/what have you for all the mercs would be a pain in the ass >_>
