Try draft recruit... When Sandalak was losing early, we had no recruit either, most of our units are destroyed or thinned down to last few men. The lords kept draft recruits till the city and regions morale were low.
This. I bumped the inf center in Sandalak to size 3, and just kept drafting every turn. I had morale down into the 30's, and control constantly dipping down into Main, and people were still screaming for more recruits. We spent a LOT of money building RCs. Our lords lost a lot of fighting time just building and trying to keep up with the necessary drafts. The armies just went out with whatever they had available to do TOs, even if it was 10 or 15 men each. Then we started cycling armies for refit. The 5 army system seems to be shaping up, after some initial roughness. It's a lot easier to get recruits if only 16 people are trying, instead of 80.
