Wait, can't merchants hire mercenary companies and have their own ships? Surely SCTG has some muscle and I think that once guilds get up and running, there will be an actual need for some private soldiers to protect the stores, assets and convoys. Obviously, its all up to the ruling powers whether merchants can have soldiers under their control, but I don't think that hiring regiment of light infantry to be split and sent all over the country to act as corporate security is that scary?

Sell the Clams at that price and send ships to Aching. Load 2 loads of livestock there and send ships to Vasir again.

Yeah. You did the roll, alright, but you missed the part where Iituem did a roll for me and gave clams a price of 0.3d. You started off from the base price.

Actually I've yet to see you get out on the straight. And you have to confess to erik of all your happy slaughter...

Well, its not up to you, but to Erik. And having soldiers and ships will be kinda necessary for me, since there are raiders and pirates everywhere.

Its always maim, kill and burn with you, isn't it Taricus?

E: I think you guys are over-reacting, just as it was the case with the romance bluff. We don't have manufacturing plants and we don't use fiat money and monarchs are absolute in power, without any constitution to protect the merchants, save for banding into guilds and buying mercs.

And here is an example of a monarch squashing a medieval corporation

I found a way to make 30d/season, 20 minimum
