Sounds like a LOT of unaccounted for sword arms for any well-run country.2. Siege weapons are made willy-nilly are they? I would've thought a well-run government would restrict and monitor such things. My bad.3. So now someone powerful is dead. You think you are the person in the best position to take his spot? Regardless, sounds like a coup d'etat and not a siege to me.4. Because those are common and cheap.5. Wow, I think you are assuming a lot more available wealth then everyone else is.Yes, people will argue that the sky isn't blue, but not REASONABLY. You'd swear that that word is key in any populace of governing. Sorry if using "easily" without the context of reasonable confused you. My bad. For all of my posts, assume "reasonably" is scattered throughout.Knee deep in humanoid tribes... that would kill you as soon as look at you, or else its reasonable that the governing power in the area would already have them in heel, eh?The thing is, hiring a few individuals who are 5th level casters is more realistic then gaining control of an army of brutes, and hence tactics with such are seen as more viable. Technically one could gain Divine rank by hiring a couple hundred thousand commoners to worship them, but that doesn't mean that a couple hundred thousand commoners are available. (Remember that worship is done with self interest... as in 'going to heaven' as motivation, so this method of gaining divinity is technically sound)</blockquote>
