Can't have them getting in the way of my pilgrim autobahn to outremer, and attacking the papal states capital, can we now? Plus, I prefer to charge the horde head on and butcher them in the east , rather than let them settle/split and dilute their armies with weak mercs.

This is what remains of all 3 waves, open field battles using HRE infantry based armies. (general, 6-7 pavise, 2-3 siege, 4 spears, rest DFK) ) Who needs wimpy stakes when you have loose pavise and schiltroms, backed by DFK 'tide of death'.

Btw, note how always releasing prisoners creates a weak 'cloud' army around the horde, a good nightfighter can attack direct and cause untold damage, while only facing 1 strong stack + multiple weak reinforcements.
