Earning Credits in Campaigns In the standard campaign shown in the core rulebook (not the Blood on the Streets campaign in this book), the winner of a fight will earn 30% of the value of the force he fought while the loser will earn 25%. No force can earn more than 300 Credits in any single fight. Mercenaries Mercenaries that survive a fight will now only deduct 10% of their total cost in Credits from those received from fighting. These changes give a small advantage to the winner and encourage the use of Mercenaries. They also limit the rate at which a successful force can grow from what are essentially small skirmishes in the streets.
