About this mod
Do you find it strange that peasant is willing to give his life for 20 coins that can't even buy a shirt? Do you find it strange that you have an army better equipped than you because you can't afford the equipment they wear? Do you yearn for gender equality (Kazuma would be proud)? Then this mod is for you!

What this mod does is change the recruitment/upgrade costs in three ways:
- The initial payment is a suitable sum that reflects the value of the soldier and relates to actual goods prices
- Mercenaries have different calculations than regular soldiers, much cheaper to hire but drastically more expensive to keep
- The equipment that soldier wears is no longer free, but rather must be paid for by the recruiter
- When upgrading, the equipment of the troop will be sold and used to partially pay for the new equipment
The idea behind this mod is to make troops more valuable as individual entities and to give mercenaries a genuine purpose as quick rank support rather than being slightly more expensive troops (do not keep them for long, they're cheaper to recruit but will poke a hole in your wallet fast)
While relatively simple, this change completely alters how troops are seen and makes both recruitment and upgrading an investment
All settings are configurable and impact ONLY the player to avoid balancing issues
To avoid equipment calculations simply set the equipment percentage option to 0
This mod requires True Controller and is part True Gameplay Overhaul pack:
True Noble Opinion - Fixes the opinions of nobles and mercs to be separate from the clan leader
True Relations - Your reputation with those around you will change with your actions
True Town Gold - Never again be limited by the trading gold available in towns
True Army Costs - Forming an army is a costly endeavor, prepare to have the way you view your troops be altered
True Battle Loot - Changes the loot rules to increase the amount and loot the more valuable items first, your purse is sure to thank you
True Limits - Set your own limits and formulas for various calculations such as party sizes and maximum prisoners
These mods are designed to be modular and can added / removed at any point, they do not alter save files
