Thanks, Jadli!
Actually I didn't have time to work on the upkeep for the captains. This would be useful, although I'd like to limit it by adding a high probability for the desertion of the armies-without-generals plus adding a BC-B&S script preventing the armies to undertake attacks unless there's a general in such an army.
Secondary generals receiving the trait (and thus incurring additional costs) are not a problem as the player should be discuraged from sending "spare generals" for the campaings and then those secondary ones taking over the role of primary ones (so eschew the consequences of the supply trait/system).
As far as the system is concerned, there're two levels of costs for sieging; there're also costs while traveling by sea.
Code:
;================== AT SEA COSTS ======================================= info through a trait gain message monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
and IsGeneral
and Trait AtSeaCost = 1
log --- At sea costs --- -500
console_command add_money -500
end_monitor
monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
and IsGeneral
and Trait AtSeaCost = 2
log --- At sea costs --- -1000
console_command add_money -1000
end_monitor
;================== SUPPLY & BESIEGE COSTS =========================== info through a trait gain message
monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
and IsGeneral
and Trait ArmyCost = 1
log --- Army costs --- -250
console_command add_money -250
end_monitor
monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
and IsGeneral
and Trait ArmyCost = 2
log --- Army costs --- -500
console_command add_money -500
end_monitor
monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
and IsGeneral
and Trait ArmyCost = 3
log --- Army costs --- -1000
console_command add_money -1000
end_monitor
monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
and IsGeneral
and Trait ArmyCost = 4
log --- Army costs --- -1500
console_command add_money -1500
end_monitor
monitor_event CharacterTurnStart CharacterIsLocal
and IsGeneral
and Trait ArmyCost = 5
log --- Army costs --- -2000
console_command add_money -2000
end_monitor

Had two crashes, one when besieging Prague, at the end of rebel turn, just when they were about to sally out, just reloaded, no crash. Second one was when Pisa reemerged, at the end of rebel turn, again reload fixed it all. So I would say its pretty damn stable, one crash at turn 34, the other at 93, both fixable by reload, and you also have to realize that once i play SSHIP, it's usually for hours straight
