Wow, so Rum can hire the Ghilman merc army which in 1215 is 16K strong? He pays 75 for them and a measly 14 a month. I am Trebizond, I have an army of 5K, and 1,100 gold and I can't defend against that. Why do they have such a ridiculous merc unit that is crazy cheap? The Varangian Guard is tiny compared to that. That merc unit is twice the size of all of his levies combined.
