Garrisons Too Big, Please Help
Okay so after a couple of ATTEMPTED characters on this mod, I managed to land ONE game where castle garrisons dropped to 200-250 and town garrisons dropped to 400-500 (their normal values). Every other game I make the castles all have 400+ troops and the towns have 800+. I once even saw a town with 1100+ troops!

My question is this: is there a way for me to manually change something in the files to edit the default number of garrisoned troops for all the castles/towns?

My main reason for asking is that if I, as a player, want to start up my personal campaign later on by taking a castle or two by myself, I cannot due to the exorbitant amount of garrisoned enemy troops. In 0.77 it was easy, because the castles still had their typical values. I seriously need some help with this xD.

800+ are the normal values, they're supposed to have that many troops.

A single lord (including you) isn't supposed to take entire fully garrisoned towns on his own (although by mid-game it is still possible).

If you really want to start your kingdom on your own (without joining an NPC kingdom first and eventually rebelling, this way is a lot easier), find a town/castle on a border between 2 factions that was weakened by their war with each other and capture it. Fiefs that were recently taken usually have about 100-200 soldiers - a number of troops you should defeat without breaking a sweat if you plan to survive the real hardships of starting your own kingdom that will follow.

Be a general, you can gather a big army. Or you can try household troops or Elves like troops.
