    For those who don't know during the Slavic migrations the Slavs brought with them better farming techniques and tools which spread to the rest of Europe and lead to a large population growth in the following century. It is theorized that the Slavs had such large numbers due to their better agricultural knowledge allowing them to cultivate the fertile lands of modern Poland and Ukraine enough to overpopulation leading to many Slavs migrating south for new lands.

      Conscription wasn't some new method of recruitment that Diocletian invented, and it was never universal. Pompey and Caesar conscripted soldiers, as did Augustus, and Marcus Aurelius. It was a supplemental measure to man the border provinces, and mainly used on the Gallic frontier. The soldiers on campaign, such as Galerius's invasion of the Sassanids, were of very high quality.
