Some people REALLY want to create things, Some people REALLY want to own businesses and land and special ponies and what not and who-for.

What would make your character complete, and importantly How much do you think it should cost?

Ball parking some numbers ( From ARPG ):

Renting a Exceptional Apartment for 1 week = 5GC
(Good Quality) Heavy Warhorse = 20GC

Keelboat = 500Gc
(12m sailboat)

Warship = 10000Gc

Exceptional Slave = 100 GC

Delbert, would probably retire happily on a couple thousand acre farm in milandir, with a reasonably defendable manor home/ small keep.

my bets on the pricetag for the small keep 10-20,000 GC and if the farmland had sharecroppers or peasants on it already a similar amount.

But Delbert is really bucking for making a name for himself via acts of outstanding valor and promoted to some position for the crown that has those things associated

Well while we are shooting for the moon ...

Eisener would like to become a great captain/general of his own army. Roughly legion strength of 1,000 men.

Guestimate: 15 gc each to kit everyone out in heavy armor, a couple of weapons, military kit, plus associated wagons and draft animals to handle logistics. Cost 15,000 gc

Guestimate: for a serious headquarters to centrally control the logistics and deployment + train officers. Cost 10,000 gc

Guestimate for land to drill on: ? Enough marginal farmland somewhere might go for less than 1,000 gc. Not really sure.

Monthly budget for salaries of a 1sc per day: at least 300 gc a month.

Total Base cost: 26k ish. Yearly operational costs: 3.6K ish. Ball park guesses.
