D&D Wargaming *ARMIES OF GOOD*

[Fieari]

This thread will be for posting GOOD armies in D&D Wargaming. If you are playing EVIL, or haven't decided yet, please do not read this thread. This is on the honor system, but of course, D&D tends to rely on the honor system a lot anyway. Cheating will only spoil the game for you, so please don't.

Works in progress are fine.

Please post in the following format:

Unit Breakdown

Above Baseline Unit x NumberOfUnits -- CR -- Point Value
* Support Unit x NumberOfUnits -- CR -- Point Value

repeat as needed.

Total NumberOfUnits
Total CR
Total Point Value

Stat Blocks

2nd Unit Type Described Above

etc.

Also, please include unit SPEED in your stat blocks. This will be very important to me, as:
1) An army can only move as fast as its slowest unit
2) You have large distances to cover
3) I need to keep track of where you are based on time, so I can compare it to where your ENEMIES are, based on time.

[nameless]

I'm going to play the Heavenly Host.

48 (give or take) Lantern Archons, CR 2.5
175 or so Aasimar troops (War1 to Clr3 and Pal5 or so), CRs vary
3 Bralani (Eladrin), CR 8 each
and 1 Leonal (Guardinal) Me, the commander, CR 15

EDIT: I'll use a human and elf mix, since Aasimar are going to be too costly. Coming in the next post...

 

[nameless]

The Heavenly Host:

Leonal (Guardinal) "Axorius": CR 15 ==> 225 (above baseline)
3x Bralani (Eladrin): CR 8 = 64 x 3 ==> 192 (cascading support: 0 CR, 3 units)

48x Lantern Archons (Archons) CR 2.5 = 6.25 x 48 ==> 300 (direct support, 300 CR, 48 units [51 total])

64x Human Ftr1 Infantry (level 1 PC gear) CR 1 = 1 ==> 80 (direct support, 64 CR, 64 units [115 total])

24x Human Clr1 Medic (level 1 PC gear, 4 mounted) CR 1 = 1 ==> 24 (direct support, 24 CR, 24 units [139 total]) plus 1,600 gp from total fund

48x Elven Ftr1 Archers (level 1 PC gear) CR 1 = 1 ==> 48 (direct support, 482 CR, 482 units [187 total])

32x Dwarven Ftr1 Calvary (level 1 PC gear plus heavy horse) CR 1 = 1 ==> 32 (direct support, 32 CR, 32 units [219 total]) plus 12,800 gp from total fund

3x Human Pal3 (level PC 5 gear plus 1 mount) CR 3.4 = 11.56 x 3 ==> 34.68 (direct support, 10.2 CR, 3 units [222 total]) 400 from total fund

3x Human Wiz3 (level 5 gear plus one mount) CR 3.4 = 11.56 x 3 ==> 34.68 (direct support, 10.2 CR, 3 units [225 total]) plus 400 gp from total fund

Human Tactician Wiz5 (level 5 gear) CR 5 ==> 25 (direct support, 5 CR, 1 unit [226 total])

Human Sage Bard3 (level 7 gear) CR 3.8 ==>14.44 (direct support, 3.8 CR, ` unit [227 total])

Total points spent: 999.8
Command structure:

Axorius (me) is the commander of this force. His three lieutenants are the three Bralani, and he has a tactician and a sage to advise him directly. One Bralani commands a division of archers and clerics, another commands the infantry forces and their clerics, and the third Bralani commands the calvary and their clerics as follows:

Division 1 (Infantry):
1 Captain Bralani
24 Lantern Archons
64 Infantry Ftr1
16 Clerics Clr1
1 Sergeant (Pal3)
1 Chaplain (Wiz3)

Division 2 (Archery):
1 Captain Bralani
8 Lantern Archons
48 Archers Ftr1
4 Clerics Clr1
1 Sergeant (Pal3)
1 Chaplain (Wiz3)

Division 3 (Calvary):
1 Captain Bralani
16 Lantern Archons
32 Calvary (Ftr1 Mounted)
4 Clerics (Clr1 Mounted)
1 Sergeant (Pal3 Mounted)
1 Chaplain (Wiz3 Mounted)

Each division is split into squads of 9 (13 for archers) humans with 2-3 lantern archons following overhead.

(Any input on my army or suggestions for what to do with my remaining cash would be appreciated. Don't want to drag the forces of good down. )

 

[nameless]

I think it would be a little weird if the Heavenly Host had a regular old kingdom of supporters to keep it going, so I thought the fortification would be better served in a different format.

Assuming it's kosher (I looked through my copy of the Stronghold Builder's Guidebook), I'd like my fortress to be a flying galley made of living wood (each wall has 5 hardness and 60 hp, and heals 1 hp a round). A galley from the DMG is normally 30,000 gp, and to let it fly at 4 mph costs an extra 225,000 gp, and I'd have it cloaked in a fog cloud for another 21,000 gp, bringing the total to about 260,000 gp after the discount in labor (-5% because the fortress is mobile and it's easier to bring the necessary materials there).

I'd be willing to pitch in some extra money from my war chest to pay for it, but it's not much more than a average-sized keep would cost. The smallest and cheapest keeps still cost 100,000 gp and up, with the decent ones being closer to 200,000 gp.

I would also be buying an Orb of Storms from the DMG as gear for my general character, and using the Control Weather properties to keep perpetually cloudy weather around the airship, making it look like just another cloud until it descends from the sky.

I was under the impression that we needed both a number of points spent on baseline units at least equal to the unsupported ones, AND at the number of baseline units has to meet or exceed the points spend on unsupported ones (i.e. it requires 225 points AND 225 individual units of any cost to support a CR 15). If I misunderstood, then I can redraft my army almost from scratch. =]
