Goes into detail explaining the new levy system as well as how Retinues will work. Ruler Retinues are now related to a completely new tech called Military Orginization and represent new, state owned "standing armies." As you increase your tech, and the size of your retinues, you can now field a permanent professional fighting force. However, your normal levy pools will suffer as a direct result of your shift toward a standing army.

Liege Levies now replace normal levies, which are raised much more logically (no more levies of just twenty men each all across a huge domain, apparently) and cannot be reinforced as long as they are raised.. Oh goodness. This means that wars are going to be ten times as brutal, and ten times quicker. Now losing a huge army in the field can be incredibly dangerous.

This DLC just keeps getting better.
