It really will be a long time before you get to the army building stage.Its 4 books in, and most of the fun starts in book 2. You might look at the resources generating steps from kingmaker.  I converted some of it to 4e and came up with lesser magic items have a 1 in 6 chance of generating 1 building point (BP) and medium items generating 1d8-2 BP per month. Basing this on the number of BP generated by rolling up a random item then converting its price to BP. I didn't bother with major items, as I didn't expect to get that far. If the PCs are willing to exploit the current rules then kingdom building becomes trivial. I don't know if my system allows for enough wealth to maintain/build armies  as my group is level 6 and I only tested the system for 2-3 years of growth.</blockquote>
