you train anyway (without doing anything)... just to maintain your skills (or make sure it doesn't deteriorate too badly) you just go to academies for specialist stuff..
them stuffy masters are not going to wander around the countryside instead of staying in court teaching heirs to the throne, etc..
... or they can remove academy....
As it stands now theres no way to train your own combat skills in any way without an academy. Heck I think it would be reasonable to have a way to train which
only keeps your skills from deteriorating, but right now your options are fight in battles or sit in a city, with is completely unrealistic, not fun, and with the current system gives the person sitting in the city an advantage over the one fighting battles.
