Base wages are paid by each troop's level, it is then further calculated depending on several factors. 1. * Mercenaries are paid 150% of base wages 2. * Mounted troops are paid 166% of base wages 3. * Heroes are paid 200% of base wages 4. * Wages for troops in a garrison or resting are cut by 50% 5. * Every level of Leadership reduces wages by 5% Note that mounted mercenaries receive both mounted wages and mercenary wages, making them even more expensive than a hero of the same level. Giving a hero a horse does not change their wages.
