Vanhiem - Looking for a little more help

[OG_Gleep]

This may seem like a really stupid question, but early game, how do you defend your territory with essentially one army. I have to admit, the sacred blessed troops are pretty sweet, but in my AI game I am pretty stretched thin. I got blitzed on two sides by AI. I penetrated into both zones, beating back their main armies, but had to pull out to go back to the other front.

I have a really small core force of pretty kickarse troops, but by now, all the crap forces that were in the army are gone. Producing 5-6 units per turn has its drawbacks.
