Adventurers

I've been having an issue where host armies will last 20 or 30 years, even after their leader won. this has created a really weird mess where one county areas like Hwicce or all of Ireland Fielding 3000 troops. I've even seen one were it lasted two generations.
Im not sure if this is a bug or something else like some event that the AI keep on choosing

I don't think it's a bug. Their event troops are like the ones that certain rulers start out with that stick around until they die or are disbanded.

It helps adventurer-founded realms last a little longer, especially in the common case that they're pagan in the middle of Christian territory.

You can actually mod these sorts of troops or add them via console - you can specify how many and what type, you can also specify if they require upkeep, part upkeep or no upkeep. Creating a doomstack of no upkeep troops is naturally pretty powerful, that's what the Mongols get, life gets a LOT easier once they all die off !
