Not enough Gold to pay Upkeep Question
 

What exactly happens then?
Assuming,which I dont know at all, troops are deserting then,which ones desert first?

Re: Not enough Gold to pay Upkeep Question
 

I think morale goes down, and the ones that desert first are the ones with the lowest morale, but it's otherwise pretty random and you aren't told which ones do.

Low morale units go first.

Kill off weak units in "senseless" or "harrasssing" battles to avoid some nasty surprises. (Like loosing 8 elephants -as arcos- one round before you attack a big opposing army.)

How much gold reserve you normally keep?

Re: Not enough Gold to pay Upkeep Question
 

None. My monthly expenses never exceed half of my monthly income.

Deserters are random ,but sacred and upkeep free troops never desert.

Try playing Ermor, Arryn, Ashen Empire, with Luck 3.

Watch the HUGE militias and Flaggellants join up, and start sapping your already heinously small treasury.

I'd like to be able to order those idiots to suicide, every time I get those events, but no such luck. Anyway, it'll be more than half your income, I promise. lol

Oh, that happens a lot. It's kind of annoying, but fortunately, they die easily, and often starve rather quickly, too.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I dislike Ermor. And I've played that particular combo. It's not as bad as you make it out to be. You should know what you're getting into when playing with death dominion, else don't play death dominion, is my take on the subject.

As many posters in other threads have pointed out, you can always try to suicide the living troops ...
