Tobutron

Sorry if this seems like a stupid query, but based on what's written in the modding section, I'm assuming we can make our own custom or unique (as far as "unique" goes) mercs using whatever in-game assets are available in the modding tool. How would we then be able to recruit them? Sorry again, I'm new to the JA series and JA3's my first game in the franchise, so I'm unfamiliar with a lot of things outside the core mechanic of it being turn-based.
