Pherhaps if recruitment was harder,then you wouldn't throwing their troops on suicide misions.
Suicide mission quickly empty your RC's, requiring drafting measures which invariably lower the stats of your regions, aside from the fact that recruitment cost tend to drain gold reserves. Arcaea recently had to spend alot of effort to ensure we were fighting battles that preserved the majority of our force while still protecting our land in order to boost our armies back above the 13-15k mark that was our limit if most the army was refitting at the one time. All things being equal the fewer troops you lose and need to replace, the better and the larger the army you can support.
