[QUOTE="jimpaladin, post: 3654514, member: 53202"] Depends on how "big" your armies are. If you believe that there are hundreds of thousands then you may want to use all those titles and ranks. I like to use the 10k to 12k size for armies. YMMV! I use loose formations of like types togather. For instance, all the knights are brought togather under the banner of the king's brother held back for the big charge. The footman are led by serganets and lieutants in three "columns". Finally the archers are grouped to the left flank in a hilly wooded area led by serganets. If a formation is "bought" by the king, let's say the middle "column" of footman in the above example. They broke the goblin formation against them and allowed the kinghts to sweep the field. They are raised by the king to "household" status. This means that they are to be housed on the king's property and to train for the king's martial exploits and come to him as needed. This then is the 3rd time the king has "bought" troops so they can become the kings own 3rd foot or something like the border watch etc. At least this is how I do it. [/QUOTE]
