[quote=@gowia] That sounds fine however does that 6,000 include the levies that are conscripted during big wars??? Or are we going for an England style and having the peasantry pay a small tax to avoid fighting, thus using this money to have a larger professional army??? Fair enough...I see what you mean. [/quote] 6000 is regular troops without the levies. We'll probably have them pay small tax to avoid fighting but if times are hard perhaps raising a peasant army to complement the professionals won't be off limits.
