| Feb 14, 2018 at 22:27 | comment | added | ed.hank | Carthage had a lot of problems with mercenaries, and were frequently having to do battle with them after failure to pay. Also google the Landsknechts and the companies like the White Company, tons of stories about those issues. | |
| Feb 14, 2018 at 21:14 | comment | added | Twelfth | You are in 'idea generation' territory and might be outside our normal scopes...there's also a pretty endless supply of answers from a simple "mercenary revolt" search in google. "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…". Is there any criteria to this, or just list revolts caused by mercenaries? | |
| Feb 14, 2018 at 20:42 | comment | added | Giter | By 'a come-upance at the end', do you mean "mercs, this is what happens when you do something without being paid upfront", or do you mean "pay your mercs, or they will do this to you"? Is the moral supposed to be for the mercs or the people who don't pay? | |
