I like the idea, but there is one thing i was thinking of with this. Add ranks, you could start at the equivilant of a private or some such thing and could climb up the ranks partially through alignment, but alst largely through these military quests, hiring could then be based on your rank (perhaps each rank unlocks a new title, or rather changes the "warrior" title of your faction to your rank)

Also perhaps the ability to draft into the army after a certain rank (essentially get the option while talking to NPCs to "draft" which would pull them into your army. this could also affect respect of you and your rank, with giving low pay reducing your respect and producing the image of a tyrant general, as well as taking women and children into the army for most factions (i would think that some factions would be fine with female warriors and young warriors such as orcs or possibly near harad (children, i doubt with women for them)) as well as possibly have them equipped at a smithy (data tag for if they are drafted, if so the desert rate should increase for them as well as make it so that you can have them equipped (with low tier gear typically what the smith has lying around or what they can make in a pinch))

good work with the suggestion, kudos!
