39 nobles, and the really scary part is we still aren't even close to full potential, we had to make sure every noble had enough gold to stay in the field for two-three weeks, as well as keeping gold behind for our other nobles and lords clearing out the rogues in the east, and not all of our units are up to the standards set due to the massive winter time travels to the east and the constant monster outbreaks.
The scout report I saw was 29 nobles, but it's at least one turn old. And I don't know about the units not being up to standard. You were averaging close to 1k CS per unit on the scout report I saw
