# Royalty sharing mechanism

\-- TODO -- LORE -- *Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.* 

### Concept

Every mercenary has 4 royalties slots.\
A fixed and immutable one that is [the Sensei](https://efyria.gitbook.io/mercenaries-of-efyria/rules/sensei) \
And 3 normal slots than can be updated. \
\
When you recruit a mercenary you can add your address to any available royalties slot of any mercenary.\
\
When a mercenary is recruited the royalties are shared among all creditors

### Repartition

\
The 3 slots give different royalties amont.<br>

| Slot | % royalties |
| ---- | ----------- |
| 1    | 2%          |
| 2    | 1.25%       |
| 3    | 0.75%       |

### Locked & unlocked slots

\
When you add your address to a slot it becomes 'locked' until the 1st time payment. This means that nobody can override your spot with their address. After the first payment, the slot becomes 'unlocked' but the address stays in the slot until it is overridden.

You are guaranteed to receive at least once the royalties from a slot.<br>

### Slot attribution

\
You cannot specify a specific slot. You only pick a mercenary and your address will be added to the first unlocked slot.\
\
If the first slot is unlocked, this is the first attributed slot even if slot 2 or 3 is empty.\
\
You can see that the 1st slot pays the most but it's also the first to be overridden.\
Up to you to choose your own strategy among targeting 1, 2 or 3rd slot.\
\
\
When you recruit a mercenary you can add your address into one to three royalties slot of this or other mercenaries. ( see [Troupe & Grande companie](https://efyria.gitbook.io/mercenaries-of-efyria/rules/troupe-and-grande-companie) )
