Nachi... yeah I would think that they should have made it general/noble based rather than troop based. It sucks to have a really great general/efficient administrator leading a bodyguard of peasants. They should have had a personal retinue (halberts/hobilars/knights/etc) but would be available to raise limited and RANDOM feudal levees (as was done historically) depending on their place in society and how rich they were. As it is now you have way too much control on what troops you can raise and how much. Way too 'gamey'.

Troops weren't long serving either. Most would want to pack up and go home after a season or two (think about all those crops that you called the peasants away from!!) ala Lords of the Realm.
