You decide to procure few thousand of slave-warriors.

522 DC, Mid-Autumn

Unfortunate news come from the southwest; the Nestel are fighting fiercely to keep their rule over their main island, and both the fleet and the garrison of the captured city suffered many losses. The Admiral asks you to provide fresh troops from somewhere and he won't complain about extra supplies either. You reply that...

A) Sadly, you cannot help him this time!
B) We just bought some few thousand slaves, let's send them there at once!
C) We just got some slaves, let's spend more money and send slaves and supplies to the front!
D) He can have the money and supplies, but our fresh troops need to remain in Duria.

Eh... we just spent money on those slaves, and on some new ships before that. I'm not sure we can afford to send him extra supplies (Our economy is probably at 2 at the moment, spending more on supplies would drop it to 1. Which would be bad)
Extra troops, though, we can and should send.

Consider it an investment. Between the extra troops and supplies we can rid ourselves of a menace and improve our trade routes due to the newfound stability of the region. Think long therm here. Besides, better to spend money on extra supplies now and to have our victorious army come home at greater strength than to be frugal and have to spend more money on recruitment.

B - We can easily afford the slaves, but we can't afford the cash.

C, you shouldn't skimp on a war you intend to win.

Yes, I understand the logic. What I'm saying is we cannot afford it. If we had the money to spare, I would be all for it, but we don't. If we spend here, we are going to run low on cash, and will need to either raise taxes (upsetting the already displeased population) or disband some of our army (which makes your 'save troops' argument invalid).
