Wheem 说:Did your fort get attacked?
There was also a thread describing how your faction's marshal could come by and steal some of your troops out of a garrison if you had "too many," but I don't remember the details.

SomeHairyGuy 说:'Some1' did, and I'm hoping it's gone before I get to the point of having enough men for it to be a problem.

Articulo34 说:If you just want to gather troops for later, you should just build and expand a refuge (up to 250 men). I think those are safe from greedy marshals.

1. marshal cannot levy if the place is under siegewilsonst 说:I have only 2 forts and my troops were appropriated while I was capturing the other. prior to having 396 troops in the garrison, I had 200 and it was captured by a force of 1200. A king and 3 of his top lords. not to mention the marshal took my top troops and left me with scrubs. In 1.04 the casualty numbers when defending against a seize has been 1 to 1 for me so I guess Im suppose to just keep recapturing the same fort over and over since I can't keep a standing force in it and theres no way Im leaving any heavy or mid troops in there just to be plucked. All my forts will be composed of washer women and beggars.

2. after the capture the castle prosperity is very low, but even at prosperity 20 the garrison allowed is 260
3. you're supposed to fill your castles with rabble (historically correct too).
4. fight and destroy lords first, then start taking their castles
Once I recaptured it I doubled the amount of troops in it thinking with that and my personal army which I could temporally swell to 260, I could at least get them to abandon the seize. While I was capturing a different fort was when my original fort got fleeced. So there was really no where to spread my troops around. I truly wouldn't give a rats behind about the fort except there is a direct correlation between owning centers and amount of troops in my moving army

JuJu70 说:Well, marshal levies troops from any center whose garrison is above what is supported by prosperity, so if prosperity is 50, the max garrison is 500.
That affects everyone, player or AI lord. Player is more susceptible since he/she always stuffs 1500 troops into a single castle. If marshal has enough troops, he won't do anything.
Not sure what's the big deal is, I've ever seen this happen once to me, don't stuff everyone into the same place, spread them around. Alternatively, we can add player's holdings to a soft cap list which AI is subject to.
You mentioned the "troop camp" but how safe is that? That sounds fair you can stockpile but you cant have the "discounted troops"
Well i just defeated an army of 1500. One week later possibly two the same faction with exactly the same lords came back with another 1500.
