Yes this it's more about leveling than getting t4-5 troops instantly. Training will take time but less than you training them.Again the problem is not that i want it easy to get high level troops.
I want to shift the problem from leveling units to being able to afford units.
Do you think a King took part in training? Or did he have Sergeant At Arms and trainers for that?
Most wars I see theirs 1-2 troops in a Village mostly Recruits.
And
Yes but their should be plenty of young men ready to fight for pay. Especially since Years go faster and therefore people age up fast. I don't want to have to rely on Barbarian Sturgians if I'm doing a Vlandian Knight Lord based out of Galend, Pravend etc deep in Sturgian lines playthrough.During a prolonged war it is perfectly realistic that you will run out of troops if you incur heavy losses
