Yeah, this is sorta what I was implying in my response.

In Italy proper, I generally don't need garrisons. I use family members. Outside, where family members are not sufficient, I usually use 4-8 skirmishers as public order demands.

I'm pretty building oriented, tho, so I don't have a whole heck of a lot of public order problems.
