[QUOTE="FreeTheSlaves, post: 8060619, member: 9952"] Omg, there's not enough gold in tier 2. Got a 10th level PC going stronghold route, 21 armed retainers and 15k stronghold... Forget tier 2 quests, they drop like only 5-6k, which gets split 4 ways to peanuts. End up spending downtime trying to pawn adamantine war hammers and like. Costs: - Upgrade stronghold to 25k version. - Train and outfit peasants to troops, like longbows cost 50gp each, chain 75gp. Sure I could have them use their hunting bows, cudgels and padded jerkins, but then we'd look the raggedy sad army. - Ballista and mangonels are 500gp a pop (3E pricing). - Forget heavy cavalry, 400gp for mounts alone. I know, hire mercs instead, wait, 100 guys @ 2gp per day, 1 month minimum? 6000gp! King for a month, washing dishes rest of the year. You know, I play old skool, become a lord level 9. But really it's moved to level 11. Oh yeah, those tier 3 troves are where it's at. Forget cool magic item drops, I want the ones with high gp value rolls. Oh right, don't forget thread questions... I know, [B]do you get enough gold in your game?[/B] [B]What do you spend it on?[/B] And [B]do/did you feel the pinch around upper tier 2?[/B] [/QUOTE]
