Mercenary Camps

From Warcraft - Wiki on Neoseeker

Mercenary Camps are neutral buildings, often found in maps, especially those where you are not in control of a base. While not all mercenary camps have the same sort of personnel, you can typically find bandits, trolls, and ogres willing to be hired.

Many of these beings have unique abilities, so be sure to have a look at what they can cast before you choose to buy one. As with all neutral buildings, there is a cool down period once you've bought all available units of one type before you can buy more.

Typically, it costs gold and wood to buy these creatures, as well as some slots in your population allownace or food.
