By crashing an enemy your units gain experience (plus some retinue for your general if his actions were decisive in winning the battle) ...
BUT!!! would it be possible to get some sweet cash as well???
think abt it...routing the enemy leaves you in control of the battlefield with all the enemy corpses lying around- these dead soldiers carrying a considerable amount of wealth in the form of armour, weapons, jewelry, coins etc etc etc... after splitting the loot amongst the troops a significant part of those valuables would end up in your faction's treasury ... right???
I imagine that looting the vanquished enemy must have been a common aspect of every ancient battle (even more so for some factions like the nomads or the rebels/bandits)...
So could it be possible to tinker/mod the game in such a way that every enemy army destroyed would generate/trigger an amount of mnai??? say 100-200 mnai per unit???
Of course for elite units like FMs,kataphracts,royal guards,nobles etc the loot must have been even greater... (those elite troops being better paid and equipped) ...
I think such a change would render the game more realistic/fun... it would also prove beneficial and add depth to the economically weak nomad factions by further fusing war and economy (as i suppose happened in real life) - the nomad player would be actualy using the AI's stacks as a means of bolstering his economy ...
So what do you think??? Can it be technicaly done???
