Well if we want to have any chance of gaining land we will need either some powerful friends or a reputation impressive enough to seize lands.
Indeed. Any big money plays will have to wait until much later, we're a six piece Chicken McNobody at the moment, with two columns of pikes and one crossbow regiment. Getting off the ground is the big ticket item at the moment.
Not really, we are helping him complete one of his goals which is the expulsion of the Borgias from Italy, so he shouldn't be I'll dispose towards us.
You can pick up baggage trains in any city, including Milan. The cost of recruitment is three times their fortnightly pay (in coin only), so you're looking at 45 coins. I'll edit the post to reflect that.
So long as you're on the march, you can purchase food along the way (or just take it, if you don't mind stepping on some toes) but it's not guaranteed to be available. After all, you aren't the only band of mercenaries walking about at this point in time.
All of these are in fact things that could happen on the march but disease tends to be a bigger problem while encamped and Cesare Borgia probably doesn't even know about you yet, so you consider an enemy raid unlikely for now.
Yeah that's why I asked the baggage train question and amended my vote so that we purchase one.
So we have to buy 2 Baggae trains instead of 1. You should poribbaly threadmark the post so that voters can see and amend their vote accordingly. Don't want us to buy all this stuff and then be unable to transport it.
You're on -579 capacity on the current winning plan.
Effective capacity is Capacity minus Consumption (i.e. each unit of 500 Pike consumes 120 units, and carries 100, meaning they have -20)
