To bring it in line wit hcontract gold nerf. Gold cost of recruiting people to your camp, 80+ gold is absolutely ridiculous to recruit random peasant from tavern. You can recruit skilled knight now for 30 gold, peasants should cost 15-20.

To start on contracts you need at least 4-5 people, in vanilla you can do couple travel contracts and have enough money, but with your nerf you need to do how many travels?

Perhaps I could add a discount for the first 5-ish courtiers, other than that i think the prices are more fair now? Vanilla ones are bugged (everyone costs the same no matter the skill), i fixed it and lowered the base, so not-great people shouldn't cost that much (30-40 gold in my experience), while truly good courtiers with like 2 stats in 20+ cost around 80.

Maybe i could lower it some more, or make price scaling a bit less harsh on the lower skill people....

Slapped -20% cost for recruiting people. Should maybe make it a gamerule and reduce scaling for <40 skill too, but that will do for now
