Okay so as everyone knows Castles and Towns have prosperity which is pretty much population as the higher it is the more they eat. I propose a that their is a option to recruit a Levy into a army using prosperity.
1st you have another army option in towns called "Raise the Levy" which will allow you to command a army of Levy troops equal to your own party size limit. So you can have 100 Troops you can have 100 Levy in the Levy Army.
2nd These Levy troops will come from your town/castle prosperity at 3-4x the value. So say you raise 100 Levy that will take away 300-400 Prosperity.
3rd The prosperity will be returned to the castle/town for each surviving Levy troop at the end of the Levy armies 2 week or 1 month term. So 40 Levy live you will get 120-160 Prosperity back.
4th their will be 2 types of Levy troops, Levy Infantry and Levy Archers and they will be equipped as they would be historically. So Levy Infantry will always spawn with a Lower tier shield, and side arm of some kind(Axe/Sword/Low tier Mace etc...) as well as maybe a Lower tier Spear. Levy Archers will get a low tier bow 2 quivers and a (Axe/Sword/Low tier Mace etc...) And both types can be wearing Padded Cloth/Leather armour types.(Nothing fancy as they are just Levied Peasents, Heck some might even bring Scythes To war)
5th They'll be feed from your food stocks just like your troops(Perhaps less?) but won't cost much in pay or anything Idk yet. Maybe a choice to pay or not(at the cost of morale?)
Idk just something I was thinking about that would be interesting to have in game.
