What about a bonus/modifier for a smaller, leaner, more highly trained band
of Merc's.... I mean.. my history is weak and it's been ages since I read

On a rambling topic that is Castle related (kinda)for those that like
Mideval combat - there was/is a pretty cool PC game called Knights and
Merchants - it's like Sim-City meets Real Time Strategy - very fun. Build
