The maximum amount is 6, is there any way to get more of it? Alternatively, I was looking into making new or rework the old mercs, is there any tutorial on that? I can't seem to find a more comprehensive or complete ones.

>More mercs

The unstable versions that are constantly being updated have up to 10; 7 males and 3 females.

>New mercs
You need to have like 100 sound files or the game wont load
>rework old mercs
There should be a merc editor somewhere. Otherwise you can go into the mercprofiles.xml or whatever it's called with notepad++ and hand edit to your heart's content.

Thanks for the info. Tried out the unstable versions, gotten some odd problems with that, which is why I figured I might go for editing the original casts.

Was there a GUI-based editor that can easily edit out the names and stats without using Notepad? Kinda tedious to go through those using Notepad.

Try Notepad++ or similar syntax aware editor. Search for <zName> which will allow you to easily jump from one merc name to the next in MercProfiles.xml.

You can get 10 IMPs in the 2014 Stable version. Arulco Vacations has that enabled by default. It is this section is JA2_Options.INI, and this is what Arulco vacations has by default:

; The following allow you to change how many and which slots from prof.dat are available for
; male and female IMPs. The "usual" slots are 51,52,53 for males and 54,55,56 for females. Other
; slots will work only if they have a blank full name in prof.dat. Even slots without full IMP voice
; sets will work although the IMPs will be silent a lot of the time.
;
; There should be one IMP_[FE]MALE_X for each slot. The total number is still limited by
; MAX_IMP_CHARACTERS above. You can reduce the numbers but there should always be at least one
; male and one female slot available.
;
; If there are any errors in the following then the default values (3 males slots 51-53 and 3 females
; slots 54-56) will be used instead.
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMP_MALE_CHARACTER_COUNT = 7
IMP_FEMALE_CHARACTER_COUNT = 3

IMP_MALE_1 = 51
IMP_MALE_2 = 52
IMP_MALE_3 = 53
IMP_MALE_4 = 169

; The following 3 IMP Males have copied voice sets from IMP 51, 52, 53 (currently all 3 voice sets are in Russian)

IMP_MALE_5 = 192
IMP_MALE_6 = 193
IMP_MALE_7 = 194
;IMP_MALE_8 = 164

IMP_FEMALE_1 = 54
IMP_FEMALE_2 = 55
IMP_FEMALE_3 = 56
