I don't think it would be beyond the pale to extend that "won't be able to do anything" notice to explicitly state that you won't be able to pay your men until you return.
The problem isn't that someone thought the "anything" would exclude troop payment. It was that someone didn't pay attention to the sentence at all. So anything we add to it would've been ignored just the same.
Yes, we could calculate the time until tournament and pop up a warning. The most user-friendly solution would be to do that and show a direct link to troop payment if and only if the tournament duration + current unpaid days is above the limit for troops getting tricky.
