Re: Raising troops in provs w/o forts?
No extreme is ever correct. I find that a balance works best. Yes its good to create elite armies and move them around. And yes it can be a good tactic to build junk armies. The smart thing is to use both.
I build "junk" armies in just about every province that has any resources. A mix of infantry and shooters if possible. They are ready to move fast wherever I need them, and they are expendable.
That way I dont need as many elite armies. They have time to get somewhere if the other guy shows up with an elite army.
