I hate to sound like an echo, but I really do like HURB's recruitment. I don't really care to build stables, barracks, and ranges in every province. I'd just as soon build one (or two for some other troop types) buildings and get a nice mix of infantry, cavalry, and missile support. Also I'm a bit biased since I want to create a "feudalization system" for my mod, a system inspired by HURB and Europa Barbarorum.
