Well, with infantry at 60/50 with 40 training, they're hardly amazing. And the barracks is size 3 (100). According to the current system, a city with 11000/19000 people cannot even furnish 1 recruit per day. Preposterous!
I must agree with this. While I can understand that a region with under 200 peasants can hardly field any soldier, I think that there should be a certain amount that will guarantee a flow of recruits coming in, even if it's only 20% of the total population possible. The current code - or situation due to lack of players - leaves many regions in Battlemaster poorly populated (Dwilight) or suffering from starvation quite often (everywhere). A tactic, forced on you by the game, is to let your population die off a little until you can feed them all again... which is logical. What makes no sense is that a community of even 1000 peasants cannot find recruits every now and then. Certainly cities, like mentioned above, should be able to find multiple recruits daily. I mean, 11000 people is a lot. Certainly for a medieval city. Most cities never got there.
Next to that this gamecode is limiting continents like Dwilight, in my opinion, where the sense of a frontier is all fun and games, but the complete lack of enough nobles and full population requires lords to "draft" recruits, instead of letting them flow in naturally.
