The difference between recruiting a patrol unit for 1 mage turn and 1 mage is, actually, very far off from being the same thing.
I stand by my original conclusion, recruiting one extra forester and perpetually patrolling (20%-30%) in the capital is a close call, you could go either way; trying to do it everywhere is a bad idea.
I did make one mistake in that post, in forgetting that man got a forester for free, which makes it more viable. I still think it's a mistake with G3 though; by turn 50 your capital is worth about 660 a turn under the original scales if you don't overtax.
Note that turn 50 is usually about the point that your upkeep starts to get close to your income if your doing well and you have neutral scales.
