I'm saying you can wage small-scale war while rebuilding your regions, instead of being 100% one thing for months and months, then switching the other way 100%.
The thing that took the most time was trying to rebuild infrastructure. You can have a sufficient amount of RCs ready in say 2 weeks, but most of them won't be worth the ground they're standing on.
It has taken months and thousands upon thousands of gold to get some decent RCs ready where the recruits have learned to use steel swords and chain mail in stead of wooden sticks and rags. You also need your regions to recover up to 75% of their population unless you want drafting to be the only source of recruits. And in between you need to rebuild the entire army that was destroyed during the invasion.
That means a period of peace and rebuilding on BT but on other continents, destruction is a good tactic that doesn't stop all conflicts as it isn't so widespread as on BT.
