Army Lists

Don't know if you wanna include it but in the city of Far Madding they have Street Guards with the following description "One of the steel-capped Street Guards, in a leather coat sewn with overlapping square metal plates and a Golden Hand on the left shoulder..." it goes on to talk about a guy swatting at pidgeons, but these guys weild long cudgels, catch poles, and rattles?
Maybe they could be a low level unique infantry that is more powerful than say your town militia, for whatever faction you give this city to... Im not sure who runs those lands so...

Thats a good idea, nobody runs those lands, so they should be recruitable by whoever captures that city...

Maybe we should make a list with that kind of units too?

I got an idea for the borderguards the other day, and the militia I guess... Why don't we make those units region tied instead of faction? What they do is defending their lands, and it would be cool if borderlanders in the innerlands recruited militia from the innerlands, and if innerlanders taking the borderlands recruited borderguards, since both units basically represent people defending their property more then thier country?

That sounds realistic and sound.

Yes, and of course you must remember our regional units plan:

The standard units, such as pikemen and armsmen, will vary slightly from area to area.

For a start, they will vary in appearance. In Cairhien, pikemen will have Cairhienen uniform and armour. If another faction takes a Cairhienen province, any units recruited there will still have Cairhienen armour, they will just wear the colours and emblems of the other faction.

There will also be varying stats, for example Tairen pikemen will be weaker than most, as Tairens tend to neglect foot soldiers.

Yep I remeber that, but have much of these units can we do? We have like 60 hidden resources to use... But I guess that it will just take 16 different areas... But we will have to do a lot of textures... But i like it, it gives the right feeling in my eyes. I have discussed this with you before, IIRC.
