Keep troops from starving?

Yeah true. But hey, they get free food and housing for the time you keep them, right?
Bow down, troops and be the sacrificial lambs you were born to be!

I think that is only fair haha. . . the gluttons eat too much anyway

Since you wouldn't be able to keep that many troops, just go send them to a level 10 fort. Worse that could happen is someone starts farming you, or you get more prestige.
