There are currently only 2 players in the fief, and there have only been that amount for quite a while now. More importantly, hero_party hasn't seen 3K troops come into this area, but not leave. Explain to me, how 2K+ troops could waltz into the area, without anyone seeing them, then leave with only 100 troops. You're talking about nearly 30 different armies with 200+ troops coming into the area, then leaving with 100 troops or something of the equivalent.
Edit: Surely, Hospitaller would understand there are more useful things to have 2K troops accomplish, than just sit in a castle?
Edit2:
<Shik> New Samarra Castle, 3840 population, 2840 more than normal
<Tydeus> I've made 240 troops since strat started and I have been recruiting from the start
