Slavery too easy?

[L Lawliet]

Slavery just seems an infinite source of income where non-slavers are reduced to scraps and bits of income. Some courtier starts a plot and I ship her off to Pentos for 80 gold, more than most make in 6 years. Not to mention they can go for up to 450 gold, which is just jaw dropping.
I'm not saying it's unrealistic, but it seems a bit gamey having one slave cover the expenses for expanding my castle for two years.

Well, slavery is supposed to be profitable. I agree slaves should be cheaper though.

 

[Galaahd]

I agree.

Individual slaves (characters) are way too expensive.

What's dumb is they're worth more to slavers than their own family for ransoms.

 

[Arcvalons]

Maybe you should be able to train slaves to be more specialized, as in diplomats and stewards, and then you can sell those high. But captured slaves wouñd be cheap, like 20 gold.

The place seems too high (I would could them in half) but on other hand I think they're supposed to be a sort of abstraction. I mean, a slave raid nets you what, 5 slaves?
