[QUOTE="mmadsen, post: 289557, member: 1645"] So the heavy infantry comprises 3 x 2,622 men, or 7866 men. Then the auxiliaries comprise another 2,126 men. That's 9,992 men. I won't look too hard for the other eight... So, like the Persian Immortals, all these legions are [i]always[/i] at 10,000 men, even long after the initial recruitment? And none of them are young [i]tyros[/i], fresh from training? Does that mean PCs? Pretty vague. OK. We'll want to take those guys out in a hurry. Let's guess their favorite enemies... OK, these are the guys we need to hit with our toughest non-Vampires -- our Giants and Wang-Liang probably, with as many Neutral animal allies as possible. If we can wipe them out, our Vampires might get to do their thing. And a Shadow-Raven is...? (Certainly sounds cool. A unit of Batman clones?) Ready the Giant Bane and Giant Dread arrows! It might be important to wipe these guys out early. Otherwise we'll keep facing their best and brightest, always teleporting in to kick our behinds for us. [/QUOTE]
