<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 6452374, member: 26302"]I would be suspicious of them being what I would call "military incursion issues". Did this ruler have an uprising needing suppressed? The idea is you strike debased coins and give them as a bonus in an occupied land. At swordpoint, you enforce their acceptance. Its a cheap way to further reward your loyal troops and punish areas that revolted against you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
