   Well, we could do away with the whole faction troops cost "something" and have the factions pledge a certain number of troops to the player depending on the player's standing with the faction, the troops are basically free and you only pay their upkeep cost, so factions will be somewhat like the player's bannermen.
Like say you can recruit 100 faction units from nearby factions,  i.e. you can recruit faction troops either at a city or a faction hub if these two are within certain range of one another, they're still bound by recruitment time, they do NOT recruit instantly, and the higher your standing either the more troops they can pledge or the lower their upkeep cost becomes.

That way faction troops wouldn't be limited by how deep a player's pocket is and as these troops would be basically free I think they'll be great help to new players, since getting troops early game isn't exactly an easy thing for a new player especially that you don't exactly know what you're doing and end up losing a lot to experimentation.

That and it would be a cool thing, tho not very useful for larger players i'd think, however there is still the current faction system of them roaming the land, bullying ppl, and hopefully they'll be getting more specific as to whom they'll bully in the future :)
