I started playing on the 867 start with Almos, ruler of the Magyars with the intention of starting a simple Magyar into Hungary into Christianity game. When I got the decision to "Cross the Carpathians" I took it, got my event troops and began moving my forces against Ungvar. Things went awry quickly when I realized that there were other rulers warring for that same land. They sieged Ungvar down, took the land, and usurped the ruler. This lead to my war ending "Inconclusively" leaving me with several thousand troops and an inability to move into Pannonia.
I decided to take this in stride and just have my Magyar Kingdom remain in the Ukrainian area, destroying Dyre's realm and just trying to carve out a niche in between Khazaria and Bulgaria (who's two rulers keep becoming rivals of me for some reason but that's another issue).
It wasn't long before I realized that my levies were hamperd by a "Magyar Divisions" building, I presume to help hamper the Magyars for the migration mechanics, but now I'm in 917 and still holding onto just over 2000 event troops and the similarly numbered levies (and vassals and tributes) and I'm just wondering if there is any way of getting rid of that modifyer or if I have to find a way to overthrow the quite strong Bulgarian Empire occupying Pannonia. And with a weak Byzantium, a hostile Khazaria, and no other truly powerful realms in the area I'm not that confident in my chances of an invasion of Bulgaria barring some random collapse of the Bulskargo dynasty.
