Its more accurate to say they hate the fact despite being children of chaos the Chaos Gods prefer humanity over them since we are less predictable and thus more fun to play with while they are static and kinda boring all things told.
The roll on the Fuerbach thing was about Adolf Fuerbach finding out that we were talking to his sons. Because Adolf Fuerbach already hated Freddy for the Johanna thing.
We can try building coercion castles on them and hope said castles won't be overwhelmed due to their isolated nature(or just bypassed). This would stretch our manpower reserves and supply lines.
Freddy uses mercs though. Surely, those mercs can ease the concern that the main armies would be hindered if we took both bestmen actions.
New mercs arrive at the end of the year.
I'm talking about the mercs we have. All 350+200+300+500+1000+1000+10+750+250+1+500+2000+2000+500+500+10+5+1+500+500+1000+100+2+1 = 11980 bodies
I think those can be considered part of the army for the purposes of the purge.
Why would we? We have no IC reason to. Some, but certainly not all we can.
Our Army numbers 49,200 without the mercs. With the mercs they number 61,180.
I'm not making that point.
Offering to hire too many mercenaries at once raises the price per merc company due to the mercenaries sensing a high demand for their services.
Because the option explicitly includes all our mercenaries.
That is a reasonable concern, but as @CuriousRaptor is the plan creator you'd probably want to bring it up with him.
I personally want ogre archers sooner than later since I think having them as elite rapid fire ranged units who work well in forest is just so damned useful, and like said earlier even if we have lots of mercs I rather focus all forces on purge if we are doing that or focusing on beast-paths for a few more turns to make purge itself more useful.
Well, well we've done it before.
Yes we did, like said only giving opinion so if people want to vote for something else they are free to do so. I am aware I might not get everything I want in a vote so happy to only get most of the things if needed.
Or Warmth could be said to mean that the Tzarina's policy of building ties outside Kislev is paying off. Or Cold could be said to make it look like even after all Kattarin's done (for example taking our own daughter into her court, sending 50000 troops and personally commanding them to fight Zacharias) we're still keeping her at arm's length, showing the futility of trying to reach outside Kislev. You're treating a single take on these things as if it's an objective truth and the only way it could be spun, when it's just not so. It's literally never like that with politics, there's always a spin somebody can put on their actions or their opponent's actions.
Regarding this, I have no idea how you've reached the conclusion the subsidization would be a secret, much less that we'd be keeping it secret from Kattarin herself so that she couldn't weigh the risk/reward factor herself using all relevant information, which again she's much better equipped to do than us. It doesn't say that anywhere in the option, and frankly it would be pretty stupid of us to try to conceal the truth of what we're offering Kattarin.
