Gameplay Discussion: Campaign Map

[cdaulepp]

I'm getting those numbers from the wotmania.com FAQ about the Military Forces of the Mainland. The FAQ is here: http://www.wotmania.com/faqtopic.asp?ID=107

The people at wotmania.com research that stuff a lot. Also, there's some guy/gal there named "New_Name" who is the ultimate poster when it comes to that type of stuff. He/She has a map with all of the armies on it, and there are a lot of nations with more than 100K men. I was just repeating what the FAQ says and what New Name said. I figured they knew their stuff.

i believe aiel forces minus the Shaido are more like 400,000. When the borderlander countries brought troops it says they left enough to defend the blight which means basically they brought the excess, also in the borderlands much like the waste any man can pick up a weapon and fight. I think the Aiel should have a trait for their generals providing skills at governing it seems they have a very intricate and strong leadership base. Most of their forces to start should be hordes, and if the aiel land's are conquered no aiel troops should be able to be trained I dont believe any aiel would fight for a wetlander other than Rand. In the Aiel it says many times in the books that, that was only a few clans and a few societies far from the true strength of the Aiel. That wotmania site is bogus on numbers we talked about this in some other thread.

Those numbers may be right after the Aiel War and when Rand starts to take power.

But it says many times (In the books and the Big White Book) that pre-Aiel War armies were much smaller. 5K was an enormous army back then.
