Paying mercenaries.
« on: June 09, 2013, 11:13:17 am »

Most soldiers join your party for glory. Could some, depending on where they are, need weekly payments of money to stay with you?

And if you think about it, wouldn't they need food too? Perhaps if you didn't feed them enough, or made them kill innocents, they'd demand a larger sum.

Mercenaries (foreign especially) are planned.

I'd like it if you could hire dwarves out as caravan guards.

I'd be really happy if this was possible in fort mode. Maybe once the Tavern stuff gets set up we could hire mercenaries - or disenchanted caravan guards - to stick around.
