At this point, I wonder if it would have mattered? 171k is still 171k. Even combined, our armies would still have been mauled by 20k hordes that made it through the archer fire. Even if we only lost a fraction of men at a time, There simply wouldn't be enough gold to refit.
It would've been death by many cuts, but death nontheless. Now it's just a race to see who's left standing last, and Riombara is so far winning that one by a long shot
