Treatment of women (the scenario from the summary gives a glimpse)
Spoils of War (the pillaging and the looting)

On the more liberal side of things, there's a faction that holds that looting "too much" harms the victims.
There's certainly plenty of fodder for barracks lawyers and litigants back in the cities; on the latter count, some of the nations are extending a concept akin to sovereign immunity on mercenary companies under their hire, pretty much solely to ensure that they can hire companies for the next campaigning season.
When all is said and done, of course, there are companies which skirt as close to the line as possible, the operating principle being "how much can we get away with before the paktunsa vote to take us out?"

Pretty good sub

I can't find anything to criticize here -- this is a truly excellent sub. It's easily applied to other campaign settings, and hints at a rich culture under the surface. I'm already thinking of ways to apply this to my game, so here's two paws up and an HoH for good measure. 5/5

I like this alot - it exemplifies a good, solid "Warrior Code." Perhaps it's just my realism (bordering on Cynicism) kicking in but this, to me, looks alot like a Code of chivalry. I never supposed Mercenaries abided by a Code of Honor save for "Win the battle, get the gold, head home."
All in all, for what it is, it's absolutely great. I like the language especially. Simple, written very much like a Medieval document, but at the same time flowery in it's own right, without being verbose at all.
Excellent.
