Garrison won't stop growing

[RafaelCruz]

So... my garrison only grows.

I've changed the garrison so I could manage it myself and, I don't know if because of that, people just keep entering my garrison and I really would like them to stop.

And the chamberlain doesn't have the option of "not recruiting any one at the present time, thank you".

How can I stop this D: ?

Your garrison is more than the normal (~220 for castles and ~390 for towns) and still growing?

 

[wolfgary]

some AI towns seem to be having 700+ garrison while the fabled Constantinoble has only 390+...

 

[Arszi]

Are those town very rich? A recent issue is, that the town garrisons are too small and smaller factions dies instantly at the beginning of a new game, and some factions goes on rampage simply by capturing one town/castle after the another. That 700 should be the "normal" garrison size for a town, or even more.

ACtually I didn't let it get that big, when it was around 140 I started to releasing soldiers (the village idiots are still in the castle)

This is annoying me too and I almost made a thread about it myself...

I wish I could turn it off somehow as my castle's garrison keeps growing, forcing my wages to exceed my income all the ruddy time...Doesn't help that half of those troops "recruited" by the chamberlain are from the "mercenary" pool (Euro Mercenary Spearmen, Euro Mercenary Horsemen, etc.) and cost a fortune!

Annoyingly, it's nearly impossible to keep on top of it too as the new troops always seem to enter service only a few hours before payday!
