note: while yes the nobility controlled the military it advanced from local lords rounding up whoever to the state rounding up whoever which is a very very key distinction that is super important!

Summary
it doesnât surprise me: iâm just mentally living in 2023, so i tend to undershoot
though given senators position timer i feel that wouldnt have changed much in three years

if it werenât either lower than we expect or (much less likely) higher than we expect you wouldnât be asking, letâs say⌠7? I can think of three (including past ones) off the top of my head in not that much time, itâd be surprising if âpeople I can think of immediatelyâ covered more than half of them
