[Perisno] How do you train your troops?

Hi guys! I've recently started playing Perisno .8 and I'm a bit overwhelmed by just how hard everything is. I played earlier versions of Perisno and I don't feel like the game was THIS challenging. I personally love a challenging game though; it's boring when everything is just handed to you on a butter covered platter. My question though is how do you guys level your troops? Soon after starting my playthrough I found the mercenary camp (great feature by the way) and hired some random low level troops and some of the hired troops that let you customize their gear. I really like the custom troops and the gear that I can give them (kinda pisses me off how the best gear for them is elven shit though. I hate elves) but my problem is I can't level them up enough to where I can give them higher tier gear. Every enemy band I see on the map is like "50 dismounted knights, 300 deathbringers, 60 demon overlords, and 40 wolf knights who will fuck your shit up" so my small army of 30 low level scrubs can't get any experience from fighting them. Please help! I just want to get these hired guys up to max level so I can give them good shit that isn't elven! Thanks!
