Mandatory Conscription
"During times of war it is often necessary for a liege to make service in the kingdom's army an obligation in order to ensure a proper defense for the realm. While this will immediately boost the ranks of a kingdom, it does have a strong impact on the villages left behind with fewer hands to work the fields. It is vital for a ruler to know when to implement such a drastic rule and when to revoke it."
