the 5 percent marching band boost is actually free when you buy it. and the mercenaries drop me down to 300 regardless of whether or not i actually should have 300 gold left. I bought it with 730 gold and it dropped me to 300 anyways, making it cheaper than it should be effectively, still drops down to 300 though when im at 800 though. it's inconsistent. I just experienced it, will keep looking to see if it remains that way, or if it only happens sometimes
