You won't have any standing armies in Total War: Medieval 3 at first, so better get chummy with the commoners
Creative Assembly has detailed the regional levies system for Total War: Medieval 3, revealing that players will initially muster troops from commoners rather than fielding standing armies. As the campaign progresses, professional armies will become available, offering a transition to a more 'classic' Total War experience. The type and quality of levies will be influenced by regional development and traditions, with the potential for regional retinues to develop unique traits and heraldry.
