At this point they are still gathering a training. Having a relatively small but reliable force would not only make the conscripted forces more effective and easier to train, but could contribute to the economy through labor. Barracks also have to be a thing, which I plan to set up later on. Also, tax isn't a thing yet since currency hasn't been invented, Amestris is currently built upon Domestic Trade (without money). Since Amestris is rich in raw materials due to the mountain, and water is in abundance, not to mention land for agriculture, providing for it is not a problem. Im probably gonna go down the Assyrian route with this.
