A few quick notes:
- it says somewhere in the manual that you need one
horse for each noble and each thane, I believe.
however, if your current number of horses falls below
that level it doesn't seem to cause you to lose thanes
(or nobles), you just can't hire new ones.
- you can also see how many horses you have by going
to the agriculture screen.
- you can also hire weaponthanes off of the raids
screen. In the top left corner it tells you how many
thanes you have and how big your fyrd is. If you
click on the weaponthanes box it takes you to the same
screen that you get to from the clan page. (sometimes
this is useful because on the raids page, your ring
will tell you if you need to hire more thanes).
