Hello,
in my current game the Crimeans were none too bright. They were down to one province, but since they were left alone they had a nice army of 56k. They suddenly declared war at me (Russia), and my forces in the area were severely outnumbered. But no problem, this stupid guys were leaving home and walking through the Caucasus. When I finally stormed their capital they were down to 35k and in Armenia, not fighting or besieging anything in the meantime.
And as a bonus to their 'long march to nowhere' you get 35k of nice troops for free (plus decent navy).
