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 
Well it's 39 now, and the standard is basically 70-80 men of the 90/90 Infantry, obviously much, much higher archers, and about half that for Special Forces. For any other types of Infantry, like the 70/90 the standard is also higher. But with so much fighting in the east we couldn't bring everyone up to the strength in time.
1kcs per unit is about right for Aurvandil, we managed a similar feat when we fought Madina through a lot of training and communal funding.
