Ah, but he can't have both the regiment AND the marines.

Even if he could, they'd have to be un-upgraded at the start...

Question: Do Hatcuri have a natural "bond" with Elvs? I mean I'm sure the Emperor had some way of controlling them...
I dunno...maybe he just kept them in line by drugs or something, or by a complicated contract that was hard to break out of.
They probably helped the Humies rebel though.
Or maybe they feel slightly subservient and calmer around Hatcurs.

One Ship (Sea Raider upgrade.), One Ducat sounds good.

He doesn't have any holdings. Only a raiding ship with marines. The ducats are too much though.
Sorry, I was using holdings as a catch-all term for "stuff."

One would assume that, to an even greater degree than regular humans, Elvs would feel a slight nagging sensation that they should really be doing whatever a Hacturi asks of them. Not something that cannot be overcome, obviously.

Elfeater, yes, goodness me, yesss. I was thinking of adding an NPC like that, a high-tech pirate from the Samakhet isles and a crazy dream.
You do realise, right: using cannons and pistols makes you a cutting-edge person. I like that your grunts are armed with crossbows, because they would probably still be cheaper than a decent arquebus.
Also, are you a pirate yourself, or a pirate hunter, or what? In fact, could you describe your character in a bit more detail all around?

PPE: whaaaat. Why you hating on elfeater? I see no reason not to let him have what he asks for. The cannon-bearing ship would be his schtick- what makes him an interesting character. The regiment, that's just his ship's crew. And the ducats... well, he would need to spend half of them on maintenance as soon as spring rolls around.

Still FAR too unbalanced for a player to start off with. A regiment is a dedicated fighting force on land. Not a ship crew.

If he's to start with a cannon and a raiding crew, he starts off with no money left (Though we can say that he just payed the crew, so until spring 417 hits he doesn't have to worry about maintenance costs

I was thinking exactly that. There's probably some positive reinforcement to it as well. William is probably feeling strangely happy about getting to hang around the Hacturi.
!!
Perhaps the Crow is an Elv (of a different bloodline)? That would explain his psychotic behaviour, as well as his lizard fetish.

Still FAR too unbalanced for a player to start off with. A regiment is a dedicated fighting force on land. Not a ship crew.
Hah... you think that's unbalanced... you are not going to be happy when Terenos rolls into town.
The Dragon Empire wants rid of him, they have given him barely enough troops and resources to make a dent in the Storm Coast. Which is to say, 8 regiments, upkeep paid for.
But seriously. 'Balance' is not solely reinforced through mechanics. As someone embracing the future, he is liable to get suspicious glances from other people. As a man of the sea, he would be disadvantaged on land, where most stuff happens.
And a regiment, I understand, is anywhere between 50-100 people. The crew of a large ship is going to be that large. One presumes that, as a pirate(hunter), his crew is used to a bit of hand-to-hand, maybe raiding coastal installations. It would be assumed that they would not go far from the ship, and if the regiment was lost, the ship would be less efficient.

Oh, sure. Fine. So, this:
One ship armed with cannons (+4 strength, +3d/yr upkeep. Requires engineer specialist)
One regiment of marines (adds sea raider to home ship, +0.5d/yr upkeep. Sea raider is lost if regiment is lost)
No money, but wages and upkeep have been paid until spring 417a
