I'm trying to build up a decent roaming force that basically goes after new settlements and hammers people on the way.

I play mainly M2TW but the mechanics are approximately the same; for frontline states, I try to keep four good archer units, two or three spear units, and two heavy calvary. As you move forward you can bring your guys from the rear forward to reinforce, thinning out the garrison in the safer rear states. My ideal roaming attack force consists of one general, four heavy cavalry, four spearman, four swordsman (or whatever the RTW equivalent is), six archers, and one good piece of siege equipment or two siege engines and one less sword or spear. Hope this helps and can be translated to RTW.
