That's a nice sentiment, but unpractical. While we could act like that (and inquiries have been made of us), you can't afford to piss off your neighbors and still expect them to let you march armies through their land. They will eventually strike when you are otherwise occupied.
It takes a lot of diplomacy to be a mercenary realm. You have to prevent too many people from getting angry with you.
Kostaja's just not greedy enough. Y'all should replace him wiht someone. I mean cmon, how much gold does he even need to take a contract? I know the contracts you used to take certainly weren't as high as the offer I sent recently. He won't even take a bribe. What kind of mercenary realm has a King who won't take a bribe?
