I've been fighting Spain for quite a while. Their king is a very skilled general and thrashed me twice when I confronted him. He also assembled most of his troops in one large army, leaving most of the provinces vulnerable to invasion. This lead to their being surrounded in Valencia with a little over 1500 men, and no other provinces to support them except Sinai which gives 90 florins in income. They don't even have any trade since they're well blockaded.
I'm trying to avoid an assault on Valencia because I know I'll be spanked if I do, and most of my forces are busy elsewhere fighting Novgorod. I therefore only have defensive forces around Valencia.
Now I see that the Spanish are producing even more units in Valencia. What I don't understand is how they can support such a large force, including a lot of high quality cavalry with such meager income. Has anyone tried to starve the enemy of funds to reduce their numbers and got any tangible results?
