Warlords: Strategic Conquest

You raise your Army's wages, rewarding old veterans and attracting new recruits. On occasion you join your colonels at muster and personally inspect the raw cadets. Improved morale and increased enlistment soon transform your military into a formidable fighting machine.
Your peasants however are envious of your soldiers and angry at you for tending to your Army before them. As a result the Masses give their support to other warlords. Your powerful Army's threat of force temporarily deters them from revolting and rival warlords from sabotaging you however. When President Min and his allies lay siege to your capital a week later, your mighty Army deals a crushing defeat to the hapless invaders.
Unfortunately, spending such a large portion of your budget on your Army now means there is no way for you to improve your cash flow. As a result your Treasury soon runs out of money to pay your Army. Many of your soldiers desert you, leaving only those who served with you from the beginning.
Weary of the bureaucratic bickering and threat of peasant revolt, your Army's morale declines by the day. Months later, General Nahru sends one million troops who, aided by the peasantry, vanquish your forces in a decisive battle. As Nahru's army overruns your former city, you pay your last visit to your late mother's grave. You see nothing left to do but grab your sword, and, trembling, shove it through your abdomen.
