if the Empire had 24000 men it will be Master Commander of every kingdom in this map!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not necessarily.
They needed to keep most of their army in the Empire to keep political strife down.
And many soldiers were refusing to fight because of financial setbacks,
as the Empire's economy wasn't doing so well and the soldiers feared that they wouldn't be paid.
The reason why so many are able to defend is because they are "defending"...
there is of course a big difference.
And don't worry,
there are plenty of reserves for when your army actually invades the territory.
If they can get past the first 8,000.
