...I consider gold and favor dropping medium infantry, light infantry and archers with an emphasis on getting either 2 of the 3 or all 3 each time to be an okay drop.

...I consider gold and favor dropping medium infantry, light infantry and archers with an emphasis on getting either 2 of the 3 or all 3 each time to be an okay drop. In the 8 clicks it took me to master the action [ 8 gold, 8 favors, 126 koku, 32 fate], I received 2x1 medium infantry, 1x2 and 1x1 light infantry, and 4 hired thugs. Banzai to you Aroru-sama for having the fortune's blessing to get better results for your clicks. I can only judge results based on my very limited observational pool. But I know that I will not click the action to jade, let alone emerald. That is the metric I utilize to determine whether an action is "balanced" or not. Moyotoshi

Mantis mercenaries aren't cheap... the hallmark of Mantis actions is a high koku cost. would be surprised if it wasn't.
Makes sense the best recruting actions to be inside a battle as they represent, IMO, a rallying of troops already there(rallying cry as a cost) and not a recruting/training/Hiring of mercenaries. From a game POV, also makes sense to keep ppl engaged in the battle instead of turning into a "treasure" hunt.
Some tokens are more expensive than others be it Fate, Honor, Infamy or Taint.

And of course Clear Water Villiage was one of the only sources for iron too, so forget building ships without significant back-farming.

Tetsu Kama Mura (Mine in the Dragon lands) has better drops for Iron and Gold (and a little jade now and then).
