Mercenary Company

Gives you a force ready at once.

Hard-eyed men who belong to no one but serve anyone for the right price. The mercenaries arrive already armed; they need no drill and no waiting.

The moment the bargain is struck, they join the holding's ranks. On a hard day, a mercenary is worth more than his weight in gold.

Won in the Instant tier of the auction; takes effect the moment you use it.

• Effect: 40 swordsmen and 40 spearmen at once: no training cost, but they eat grain
