[QUOTE="ashockney, post: 1286852, member: 1363"] Here's another interesting component from the DMG, p.138 (thanks Monte!): Under creating a campaign/world, when discussing guard/soldier, it states that in most fantasy medieval settings 1 in 100 adults is a full time guard or soldier, and in addition 1 in 20 can be conscripted into the militia within a frew hours. To AQ's and DJ's points, the stadning military is MUCH larger in Rashemen. 1 in 10 by accounts in the Unapproachable East. That is ten times the size of a normal standing military! Now, to exprapolate that into the militia. 1 in 100 is a soldier, and there are an additional 5 in 100 who are militia, in a normal medieval fantasy setting, can you assume that 1 in 10 is a soldier, and 5 in 10 are militia? Whew! That's as large or larger than what AQ had initially projected. And so, here's some estimates based on these new figures. 500 soldiers in Mulsantir 1924 additional militia in Mulsantir 4,407 soldiers in Mulsantir's urban and rural settings 17,627 militia in Mulsantir's urban and rural settings 9,352 soldiers in southern Rashemen 45,747 militia in southern Rashemen Wow. Supported by Hathrans (perhaps from afar), bards, druids, and clerics. A force to be reckoned with certainly. Using Silveras' recommendation it would be more like: 500 soldiers in Mulsantir 500 additional militia 4,407 soldiers in Mulsantir's urban and rural settings 4,407 additional militia 9,352 soldiers in southern Rashemen 9,352 additional militia Thoughts? Preferences? It is a LARGE area for them to cover, approximately 200 miles across southern Rashemen. [/QUOTE]
