Does STW2 have free upkeep units like MTW2 did?
And how does attrition work, i noticed it only sets in winter but what if ur provinces away from ur own outside of winter with a really big army, so u still suffer attrition?

Not really any free upkeep units, though there's the possibility to build your general so that his troops use less supplies.Quote:

No, but you do get 'free' units when your castle is besieged, depending on the castle level, like the armed citizens of ETW. No zero-upkeep garrisons though as far as I know.Quote:

and far more realistic than Empire where you could retrain a full stack even if you were knocking on Moscows door... :laugh4:Quote:
