Slow start?

[Darthvegeta800]

After bugs the first 2 times that locked my campaign, i reinstalled and am going for it again.

Question though, am I the only one who heightens leadership early on via a cheat just to field a bit more men?
The game is frustrating early on in that everyone even peasants field more forces on average. (weird)

I don't mind tough opponents but i do like to field something akin to an army...

I love the game still but it does need finetuning.

On a sidenote, i'm glad its about the Teutonic Knights. Far too little games about them. And too much focus on the Templars and the Middle Eastern crusades.
