So I just took over the HRE as Croatia using an invasion CB and I now have over 20k space for retinues (up from 900 haha). Should I just go all cavalry or half cavalry/half skirmishers or some other combo? Also never dealing with retinues (or understanding armies) very much, should they all go to the middle or flanks or be evenly distributed?
I just got a bunch of retinue space, what should I buy?

If you have a cultural retinue which I think you do as southern slavs, you should go with only that.
Half cavalry/half cultural can be pretty good. The cavalry retinue on the wings, the cultural retinue in the middle or something like that. 3000-4000 cavalry can hit pretty hard.
Wait, what did you do? You've beaten HRE as Croatia??? Holy shit. Which kingdom did you take?
What's croatian (or south slav?) cultural retinue?
I don't know it, but as they said, it will probably be best either 100% cultural one or cavalry one or 50/50.
Middle column should stand taking a beating, but I usually do it with leaders (good defensive ones) while flanks should cause lots of damage the same way. So I use leaders for that and balance more or less all columns if the army is 100% something. If not, then maybe concentrate the most defensive unit in the middle and the columns the offensive ones (like heavy cavalry).
