Hi guys, just some thoughts I had on this issue while I was playing in my current campaign.
The number of armies formed in any given war completely trivializes the weight an army is supposed to bring to a conflict, any noble can just call an army and go siege some random far-reaching castle that holds no strategic or economic purpose.
Capturing a settlement at the moment means so little due to the fact that 5 minutes later, some random enemy army being led by some unknown dude is going to siege it back only for another of your armies to captures it again, creating this loop that is going to be maintained until the war is over.
I feel that only the ruler should be able to call his/her nobles to form a big army, it would increase the risk/reward of winning a big fight knowing that to defeat the ruler's enemy army would mean a small opposition for the rest of the campaign but also means that if you lose, your properties would be in serious danger, it would be up for the defenses of your castles/towns and any available noble to fight back the incoming invasion.
Clan leaders (and only clan leaders) should be able to form an army made only by their own clan members for smaller engagements.
I do believe most battles in a war should be between individual nobles of each faction and not between armies of 800+ made by some nobles who just joined the kingdom, that is going to be recreated immediately after being defeated. And also... who the hell is he? dude with no rep in the faction can just call so many leaders out of thin air to his/her side?
Just my 2 cents, what do you guys think?
