Also the Ravenstern has been wiped out so I'm not able to recruit any of their units in my current save game anymore, as I have the silvermist rangers' order in my only castle I don't want to change my culture, because I want to have the possibility to upgrade my Pendor Gray Archers to Silvermist Rangers. (current party capacity: 242)
Well, you only need 200-300 elite troops for the actual battle, and the rest can be farmers and recruits for the numbers. At party size 242, you won't have speed issues I think, to get to any siege defense in time.
So, time to get your hands on 1 denar/week troops. If it matters to you, "town militia" are among the best 1-denar troops.
But don't laugh it off, I DID have a close siege once, where my last peasants were facing off recruits. I was thankful for every 1-denar militia I had, instead of a peasant woman.
I thought the town militia were more then 1 denar? I might start upgrading farmers to them instead of pendor recruits like I have been then. They at least get some armor and weapons
