on one of my more successful characters ; Lord Ownington, I use a nice combination, got english knights, welsh longbowmen, a few scottish nobles and a large amount of mixed infantry mostly english and irish. I command about 120 troops. and since I got the battle size modifyer on things are very interesting... My uber rig can support 400v400 so far as I've tested it. I've conquered Ireland, most of lower england and Scotland. Only wales is in the way of King Ownington ruler of the English Isles!
