Playing as the English I like to divide my forces into offensive, and defensive armies. Right know I'll post about my defensive armies.
To defeat France my armies were composed primarily of mercenary units. This was very costly so I decided my first priority would be to secure my borders with homegrown troops. I had six borders to secure Aquitane, Toulouse, Anjou, Ill de France, Champaigne, and Flanders.
Each of my defensive armies, consisted of 5 Units of Spearmen, 3 Units of missle troops, 2 Meele troops,and 2 cavalry units.
The first Armies I built consisted of
5- Feudal Sargeants
3- Archers
2- FMAA
2- Hobilars
My newer Armies have
5- Billmen
3- Longbowman
2- CMAA
2- Mounted Seargents
I am in the process of modernizing my older armies(Toulousse, and Aquitane.) Most of my newer units have recieved upgrades from a Armourors workshop, and some of these armies also have royals attached to them.
It took me 42 years to fully secure my borders, It may have taken less time with mercenaries, but mercenaries cost alot of money, and besides you don't feel the same attachment for mercenaries you just recently bought compared to the armies who have served with unswerving loyalty for years.
