Samantha's School of K-nighthood/Chapter 4: Orders

Different Kinds of Orders

Once you're in command of a unit, it is up to you to maintain the whole kit n' kaboodle. (No, I don't know what kind of kit, or hwta a kaboodle is either, so don't ask.

TRAINING: Getting your soldiers in shape. The more you train, the higher their cohesion and training becomes. However, you're gonna beat on their gear doing all this, so their equipment is going to have to be repaired. Also, when you train a lot, your men are going to grumpy and whiny. Don't worry, they always do that. Take them out for some entertainment or just give them some time off and they'll recover their morale sooner or later.

PAY YOUR MEN: Always a favorite for the troops. You can pay everybody, just pay your soldiers, or pay your paraphernalia. Whichever you choose. If you don't pay your troops for more than 5 or 6 days, they'll start bitching about this too. You can usually let them go unpaid for about 9 days if you have to, but try not to let it go on for too long. If you do, they can desert you when you need them the most, and will sometimes spread really bad rumors about you while doing it. This can hurt your honor or prestige.

ENTERTAINMENT: When your men are suffering from a huge morale loss, you can take them out and pay for a night on the town. WOO-HOO!!! You can either just take them out for an okay time, which will cost a little gold and a couple of hours but will get back some morale, or you can go for an ALL OUT PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! This will cost twice as much and take up all the time you have, but then you can really really raise their spirits. Go to a Dance Hall, go to a brewery, take em to a pub, Pick up some whores...go all out! But you can only do this when in a town, city or stronghold.

REPAIR EQUIPMENT: Training, battle...heck...even travel can damage your equipment. To repair them, you need to be in a region with an armour or weapon smith. You can usually find where these are under your Banker's Bulletin.
