yeah it seems my game was behind, thanks to some replies on the forum I have figured out how to update my game (have to manually set the version) so I guess I'll soon learn what was done with them.
it seems that for some reason my game is on version e1.4.3 rather than the latest patch. This despite the fact I have it set to auto update. I looked into the matter and it seems you have to manually change the version you are playing on. Thanks to you guys for helping me figure out I was behind patch wise, guess I've got alot of changes to catch up on.
I wondered if I might somehow be behind patch wise but I would think it updates automatically. I'll try updating my game. If this ends up being the issue then thanks for letting me know.
as opposed to scrambling around like a madman looking for ways to make money to pay your army despite you having 6 workshops and a castle, struggling to keep your head above water? most of the quests give lousy payouts with a few exceptions, so the game is actually harder to enjoy if you can't secure a suitable stream of income. Workshops are still very hit and miss and from my understanding caravans are even worse. it's very easy for new players to fall into a trap where they get a 100+ army then have to spend every moment of the game trying to feed and pay them. I've merely provided an option that alleviates this issue without using any exploit. If you think it breaks the game I can somewhat agree with you, javelins are ridiculously profitable, but they also cost way too much to buy considering what they are. The obvious solution is to make selling swords more profitable but it's really not worth it at lower smithing levels despite the fact that swords should objectively be far more lucrative than a bunch of shoddy throwing spears.
nope, make Javelins and sell them, infinite money
