I just double checked with the copy of non modded 1.3.0.25 I had, and well retirement_01.ogg (which is mercenary’s rest) played at one of the villages immediately as I remember it playing. Right now it’s just the city 1-2 (which is a same track) and the village one that plays in the newer versions, please take a look. The lack of variation is really felt once you are visiting towns a lot and the fact it was removed without even noting it does it no justice.
