I own Ergellon castle as well, has about 360 troops, tons of Rhodok tribesmen, and spearmen (recruiting locally is easier as well as safer, since i get to be near the fief in case things go bad).ДЄlso Veluca (close to Ergellon castle) which is is also now owned by Swadia had constant farmer help requests in the tavern, so as a result, of doing those clean bandits from village quests, i gain some nice relations with many villages around Veluca, which made recruiting troops for Ergellon much faster. Yeah my wife (Lady Timethi, who used to be a Rhodok Lady), just recently moved from Ergellon castle to Dhirim, so my court is now there. Then suddenly a war erupts between Sarranids and Swadia, and amazingly the Sarranids also at war with the Nords, conquer Dhirim! i coud not believe my luck, so i went in there sieged it alone, fended off 6 or so Sarranid lords ( they came in groups of 2-3), my swadian knights mowed them down and then, assaulted it, only had 100 sarranids as garrison, weak troops too, so was a cakewalk. Yeah, Dhirim was captured by the Nords when Swadia was doing 3 wars at the same time, the garrison was small, so i had my eye on it. You probably should also keep training militia, for when you get your second city.Д«y the way, Dhirim is the very best place for your court, and the very hardest city to keep safe and prosperous. You need about 100 elites to fight your sieges, and 150-200 mid tier ranged troops to make up numbers. Whatever you do, do not leave your city with 200-300 wimps like militia. Swadian knights as garrison are a terrible waste. The Swadian top infantry and crossbowmen are sub optimal, but will work. The Rhodocks top tier infantry and crossbowmen are another favorite. The best, of course, are huscarls and marksmen, if you do not mind going outside of your faction. You want, on top of those 150 militia, 50 high tier shield infantry and 50 elite ranged troops. The Swadina militia is a very good choice for making up numbers. You will not see that amount in normal circumstances. The 20K were because the city either had no lord for a while, or he was too busy to collect his taxes.

What kind of garrison should i prepare for when the enemy comes in full force?ДЄlso what is the typical income a town like Dhirim gives? when i got it i received like more than 20,000 denars for the first time, but the second week only about 5,000.

I love them, plus they got a cheap upkeep 34 denars only. My elite squadron of Sword sisters provides cover fire when my knights are assaulting, killing off some of their ranged units and making the assault smoother. who are great at range, melee, and horse (their horse is weak though). no sharpshooters, etc (unless captured))ДЄnd my storming armies (for sieges) are usually Swadian knights as shock troops + cannon fodder (units i dont want to keep, like captured elites from Vaegir/Nord/Khergit, or expensive Mercenaries, and as ranged units i rely solely on Sword sisters (i am very careful not to lose them and i always pick up 'peasant woman' when i have the chance to train em into Sword Sisters.

(so i'm not taking the ranged route upgrade path for my swadian units. And i train them relatively quick, and i find in a way i prefer to have vast numbers of swadian militia than swadian footman (which aren't ranged) i always train swadian footman->man-at-arms->swadian knights, because i need to replace losses too. And i've read that it's kind of a 'dangerous unit' for it's tier. My question is what would be a wise number of troops to put in the town? 1000-2000 ? (also considering Dhirim is in a very central location and is very likely to be attacked from all directions Nord/Vaegir/Khergit/Sarranid, heck even Rhodoks.ДЄnd i've been focusing on getting lots of Swadian militia since it's a unit that has Crossbow a shield and a weapon, and an upkeep of 4 denars (2 if garrisoned). (maybe not as good as swadian knights but.) I try not to go too crazy on mercenaries since their hiring cost gets expensive, but they are a nice quick boost to numbers.ДЄlso whenever i want to go storming another town or castle i'll take these high level mercenaries as 'cannon fodder', since they are kinda tough too. The bulk of it, 145 are Swadian militia, then i got an assortment of mercenaries as well as random units that i freed from some lord's captivity. Playing the game as a Swadian (as usual) and I recently came into possession of Dhirim, and i'm in the process of garrisoning it.Д¬urrently have 230 troops in it.
