Ginger, I have to split the money I get between 4 people, means I would have the hazzle of selling that loom and end up with 250k per person. If I cash the gold in at a npc town, I get 200k per person and still have my army.
Yes Nebun, it is a nice starting army for solo players (as bandits) or a small group of guys trying to get into strategus getting themselves an easier start. That your current punitive expedition is taking place in the same area I am based in is just a welcome coincidence
.
Bonus offer: If you buy the army, I can throw them at whoever you want (except poor Nords, they are opressed enough), free of charge, completly confidential.
