(go figure) So I ask you, the members of ENworld:If you were a general, how would you build your army?Assume that a typical 1st level Warrior will cost about 1 sp a day to maintain (We can work on actual cost on another thread. I'm just using an abstract for now) . Increases in level increases the pay (2nd level = 2 sp, 3rd level = 4 sp, 4th level = 8 sp, etc).Upgrading to fighter class adds 50% to the pay.Upgrading to rogues/bards adds 75% to the payUpgrading to spellcasters doubles the pay. I can't recall a price for siege equipment, so if you remeber please let me know.If you think of an unusual idea, include a maintanence cost. If you can't someone here can figure it out! <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'm leaving the details up to you (if we had dragon mounts [include an estimated cost for maintanience], if I came from this civilization, etc...), but I would like to see fairly realistic numbers (ie: soldiers are 2-3 level, officers are 5-6, generals can be up to 12-13 level). However, if you have reasoning to do different I'd like to hear it.So, what would you do, and how much will it cost?EDIT: Also, how much do you think a kingdowm can afford t spend on such a war?</blockquote>
