Unit Experience & Upkeep
« on: October 08, 2008, 04:22:51 PM »
Do the increases in upkeep start at a particular Experience level (say, Skilled)?

This isn't made particular clear in Regent Guide.

Raw, green and skilled have basic cost

Every level beyond those three (Veteran, Elite etc.) have increased upkeep.

Hmm.. I was trying to calculate the maintenance cost of my armies and  noticed that I have "swordsmen" units which are not listed in the Anuirean units table in the Regent guide

Swordsmen are used somewhat interchangeably with Regulars.

Ah.. that clears it up :) Tnx

Oh, and one other thing. Will units start at minimum xp needed for current level? This also brings me to another matter. Who will fill the initial Domain Order (with units/upkeeps etc), DM or players?

DO: The player, unless something has been specifically entered by Bjørn.

They were called Swordsmen before, but it got changed to Regulars later on.

We're also looking at a simplification of the extra maintenance rules; looks like you'll have to pay +0,5 for Elite or better units, except for units with the Elite special, which will cost +1.0 extra only when they reach Legendary.

Yay!   Sigh - the Aegis only seems to employ people who are crack or better (preferably wearing 70 lbs of steel as well) and my budgeting has been uncomfortable work  :(

If you want, you can trade them in on a 1-for-1 basis with green levy...they will even bring food from home!

Better yet, send them to invade Robert. If they fail you won't have to upkeep them ever again, and if they succeed you have more provinces to finance your army with!
