A similar tribe could have a many as fifteen additional captains if the warlord has a very large bodyguard, bringing the total population up to 158.A tribe of at least 588 to 671 individuals is comprised of a chief (a warlord), a subchief (another warlord), the chief's bodyguard of 5-20 captains, a fighting force of 85 hobgoblins led by 15 captains (some of whom serve as the subchief's bodyguard), 160-183 adult noncombatants, and 321-366 juveniles.The largest tribe of hobgoblins has the two warlords, the chief's bodyguard of 20 captains (the maximum), a force of 170 regulars and thirty captains, 333 adult noncombatants, and 666 juveniles.</blockquote>
