Is the Independent Strength turned way up, or am I just unlucky?  Everything around me is 50-70 strong. My starting army just got owned by a 40 strong indy, that was half knights!
Slow expansion for me, I think...

Unlucky it is! The game's running with default indys.
But just think of all those knights you'll be able to churn out once you take that province! (I always find elephants and knights sitting around in farms, though, and end up being able to build about 1/3rd of an elephant per turn.)
As I'm sure you know, sometimes you start off in nice territory, some times you don't. My last MP game, my castle bordered an ocean province and a swamp. That was it, 2 provinces. I took the swamp after a massive battle, and broke out of my confinement into ... a vast stretch of wasteland. I was eliminated pretty fast, but I had fun though! (I was Agartha and avoided the ocean province because my scouts said it contained Sea Trolls and a Kraken. But then I was absolutely forced to take that province later, and it was a much easier battle than I thought. Live and learn I guess. Or die and learn, in my case!)
