One of the nice things about Dwilight is that a realm on one end cannot project power all the way to the other end.
This isn't a game breaker. It's about a realm that hasn't seen war in ages finally getting one just to find it can't do it. Should Iashalur go back to sitting on its ass farming gold for the next couple of years? This was just the sort of thing to get people in the realm energised again.
Again, we sent 5 nobles to the war, with about 3k cs... Sure it may have a small impact, but its nothing that's outright breaking the game.
As I said in my original post, I don't see the need for restrictions at all, for the mercenary setting. But if it has to remain, at least mitigate the morale penalty! I'd gladly pay 75% gold more than usual for it. Hell, I'd pay 150% more for it, just to get the chance to be in battles. It's not like there aren't real, historical precedents for campaigns of this kind, over a longer distance than the one Iashalur currently faces.
