Just figured it out. Apparently you have to put at least 1 soldier in the garrison before it starts to auto recruit
Ya but that’s just their individual party. The amount of vassals they are calling into their armies are only crating small armies. 900-1000max while the enemy armies are 1500 plus. There isn’t a lack of vassals either. Because if I go into create an army I can make one almost 3000 strong. And most of my vassals have more influence than me so that’s not the problem either.
I know there is one about giving them larger parties, but not making larger armies. Idk I’ll look through the policies today and see if there is something.
It feels like the offensive/defensive diplomacy stance is broken. Because they would randomly just make an army and take it to the other side of the map and try to take a fief from the northern empire when I have it set to defensive for them. I was trying to finish up the western front so I only had one front to fight on. So I had vladia set to offensive.
But that’s the problem my Allie’s aren’t coming behind me to retake it. The enemy would just retake it and my Allie’s wouldn’t do Jack!
I was trying to do that but literally the second my army leaves the fief to go onto the next one some little 60 party enemy besieges it right behind me.
Ok that’s probably a big part of it. Ya pretty much everyone was at war with me so a lot of my vassals were getting captured. But still if I create an army there is enough available to make 2500 troop strong army . And the clans have plenty of influence to call just as many as I can.
Yep annoying as hell. And if you try to execute all of them then the whole world hates you including ppl in your own kingdom. There needs to be the above changes. Also you shouldn’t gain negative relations with anyone other than the kingdom the person belongs to when you execute. I mean we are at war!
Thank you. That’s what I started doing. Read a thread last week. And this has been going on since 2020. Probably won’t get fixed. The thread I read said you get about 45 saves on a single save before it gets corrupted. Something about loading and saving.
