  Sadly, that’s historically how you paid an army. Guess they just haven’t evolved morals yet.

    Also old armies got spoils. Looting. Usually temples and churches whose faith and gods you didn’t respect anyway.

    Go far enough back, and captured civilians were made slaves for life. Including making sex slaves of all the women.
