Need some help

[Morrus]

I need two lists:

1) A list of army attacker types. Starting with Untrained Peasants, going up through things like Seasoned Veterans up to something like Legendary Heroes. The list needs to ascend up through at least 10 (maybe more) "ranks".

2) A similar list of city defender types. Starting with something like Local Constabulary, worknig its way up through City Garrison or the like, up to something like Legendary Defenders (or something).

Both lists need to have the same number of items in them, though that number can be anything from 10 to 15 or so.

You are unclear as to whether this is for a magic-based or non-magic situation. If magic is involved, there'd be a couple of other ranks in here for both sides.

Listed with corresponding "ranks" together as attacker <==> defender...

Untrained Peasants <==> Beggars' Brigade
Misfit Irregulars <==> Barroom Brawlers
Drafted Levees <==> Conscripted Labourers
General Infantry <==> Local Constabulary
Hardened Troops <==> Town Militia
Seasoned Veterans <==> City Garrison
Scouts and Rangers <==> Thieves and Infiltrators
Trained Elites <==> Defenders of the Walls
Legendary Heroes <==> Guildmasters
Nobility (named) <==> Nobility (named)

Hope this helps!

There's some great ideas there - thanks, guys! I'm pretty sure I'll be using some of them!

I'll be mixing in some structural stuff, too (for example, on the defence side I'll be mixing in wooden walls, stone walls, and so on).

I didn't include them in my earlier post, but I thought "Trained Monkeys" could have a special place of their own.

Absolutely. But as both sides would have them they would effectively cancel each other out, thus not including them works just fine.
