How this works.
The Warlord chooses which to take with him on campaign (typically 2 months), depending on his annual military budget. He can choose to spend to upgrade existing forces, change their training, and hire mercenaries. A major cost undertaking is building the Logistics Strength, which eats up 2/3 of the budget.
These will raise, on average, a force of 1000 men. Typically this is a force controlled by a Baron or Dux. A Pinceps or Feudal Duke, will command an number of these warlords.
Every region of a population of 225,000 (6k sq km) in the campaign setting can be assigned a table like the ones below. These tables allow for great variety in strategies for the players and NPCs.
