I've read the 100 stacks thing in the SS forums. They come in waves, so you've not seen everything that you'll get yet. I suppose we can confirm it after this game however. Still, you have plenty of stacks now, the K-Shah front alone is more than what most nations have (apart from maybe the Fatamids) and yet you can spare several stacks to go for the Cumano-Rus lands.

The problem is also the quality of your troops and generals - everything has chevrons, and your commanders are usually north of 7 stars.
A certain Visorslash has killed them on turn two in late era doing just that. I know exactly what I get and when it arrives - I tested the game to the end of the scripted reinforcements to check it was all working correctly.

I have lots of stacks now but I don't have nearly as many as the rest of you put together and while I'm stuffing around playing footsie with the K-Shah and Cumans the others (including the terrifying ERE) are getting stronger and making plans.

This game will go a loooong time before we can tell who will win, mark my words, and in the meantime it will be epic.

And you're first in the queue to jump back in when we inevitably lose someone and need a replacement player, so don't worry too much about being knocked out early, it was just luck of the draw.
