Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 767241" data-attributes="member: 8704">(moved over from government thread)I was using the Elite guard to guard the whole castle. 10 to guard a whole castle for a 8 hr shift, and the 10 Cavalry were for bodyguards if she decided to leave the city. I would actually count them as a separate private army (if you can call 40 archers and 10 horsemen a army)I was running two 12 hour shifts for the wall and the city watch, with a day off about every 4 days (one day off a week) that would be a 72 hour work week.you actually added 10 to the city watch (I'm stunned<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), I was putting more emphasis on keeping people out than keeping them safe once in.I was thinking more along the lines of 10 to 12 for the rangers, they would be actual leveled NPC's and would cost much more to maintain than regular soldiers.The big question is does this city get attacked, 100 goblins on wargs using even a little bit of stealth or strategy could burn this city down faster than you could get 10 soldiers together to stop them, it would be real inconvienient to have to keep all city gates closed all the time in a city on a trade route. What is the risk of attack on this city?</blockquote>
