The moment I summoned my troops they get whacked by the host army, bloody rubbish. Thing is the 30k host spawned right on top of my capital. At one point in my previous king's reign, one of my brothers who has no titles, no land, no power at all, called in a 30k host to claim Scotland. I lost Scotland about 2-3 times and had to re-fight for it all the time. He's not even my direct line, he's my previous king's cousin, had to give him all the power because my only son got assassinated by some douchebag and they wouldn't elect my daughters. My current game my army is usually really pitiful and I have to be careful who I attack and when.Д®mperor's infirm and dying. It would be nice to have a big army and just steam roll over everyone. I'm slowly taking Scotland in my English campaign, pretty darn slow in fabricating claims. Wanted to march on France but I went to play my English campaign.

Eventually they ceded Germany to the Golden Horde. Got destroyed by 30k, 40k Mongolian stacks easily. Eventually they did and raised something close to 20k troops but not in one army, just scattered here and there. The pathetic HRE didn't even bother to raise any army. I called in the Ilkhanate which provided another 90k allied troops. Finally I hit 500 prestige which gave me the cause to invade 'Germany', which I did. I just kept marching west declaring war as I go. Right off the bat I had like 80K special event troops. Just for fun I started the game as the Golden Horde in the Rise of the Mongols era.
