Question for you all. As some of the forum regulars may know already, I was rather annoyed by the changes to the game since I played last. Ive been trying to adjust to the new mentality of offense is your best defense. I have found a kingdom worthy of defending me however I remember many people suggesting keeping a standing army to deter people from attacking me. Fear of retal. Now a thought that came to my mind, would it be worth it to devote like 5% of my land to stables so my elites would have horses? Would anyone be deterred from attacking a Feary province if it had horses amassed to match elites? I know it wouldn't be much of an offense...just wondering if it would even be enough to matter?
