I have a question about leaving garrisons to defend the cities.
Let's say I'm playing Brutii.
After I capture Appolonia, I create two Town Watch units in both Tarentum and Croton, and I move my military units there to my main army in Appolonia and then it north to Selona. After I take Selona, I leave two Town Watch there and take my army back to Appolonia. While taking my reduced units back to italy to be retrained, I create some more units in Italy. With the Army rejoined I then go to take Thermon, and then by boat Sparta. What happens by time my army is approaching Sparta is that some Military units from Macedon come attack Appolonia, whether or not I have an Alliance with them. With only my tow Town Watch units, they easily take it, and then Selona. So then the question is; and this applies to any faction:
When I take my Army from a newly captured city on my frontier, how many units do I leave behind to defend my city from neighboring factions and of what type of units to leave there.
