No Upkeep Food

At first i had doubts, maybe it could be something like cheating.
But is true small realms have little or no chance, a big country or a player will always raise armies.
(Players play more intelligently, so even starting with 1 province it has huge chances to win)
I think this improves the difficulty because you can't just rush and destroy little countries too easily, the bad thing is farms are useless now, so the strategy of raze farms is no longer useful...

It would be possible to decrease/increase the cost depending on the troop?
Erasing the cost for low-quality troops and increase it a little for the most op elite troops.

For your pleasure, sire!

That's a good idea.
Small one or two province realms often barely can afford one army not to mention two with the food cost, which is why with mods i was usualy looking for modifications of that feature, but getting rid of it etirely is surely a good option too if not better. Cheers
