18 Heavy Troops (Dwarven Axe, Tower Shield, Full Plate)
2 Heavy Calvary This is a breakdown of an average Legion of the Chattignon
Empire. The legion is based upon the concept of a Roman
Legion. This is a standard 5000-man legion with both
noncommissioned and commissioned officers. This does not include
support elements, only actual troops. The average Legionnaire is
4th Level Two thousand Footmen (they are armed with a
gladius/longsword, heavy shield, Full Plate, and spear/javelin) AC21 One thousand Archer (Composite longbow, small shield, Chain
shirt and longsword) AC18 One thousand arcane spell casters One thousand Divine spell casters third level (Heavy Shield,
full Plate, crossbow, and mace) Noncommissioned officers: One thousand Sergeants (1 sergeant for every five
troops. 6th Level Sergeants function as squad leaders) Commissioned officers: One hundred Lieutenant: A lieutenant is an assistant
to a captain/centurion, they oversee fifty troops. Therefore, each is personally
responsible for ten squads that consists of fifty soldiers and ten supporting
sergeants under their direct command. In modern terms, they
would oversee a large platoon acting as the platoon leader. 50 Centurion can normally command one hundred troops or two
platoons and have two lieutenants under them commanding the platoons.
In modern day, this would be equal to a company 10 Chief Centurions, in modern day these would function as
battalion commanders and hold the rank equivalent of a LT Colonel.
Each Chief Centurion commands five hundred troops and the needed
leadership structure under them. Praefectus castrorum (camp Prefect) (this position is given
to the high ranking, most long-term Centurion, they oversee all the
administrative side of the camp and coordination. This is not a war
position, as it is more concerned with the general upkeep, supply, payment, and
personnel of the legion) In modern armies, this would be equal to a division's
adjutant 5 Tribunus angusticlavia control one thousand troops apiece,
think full colonel controlling two battalions under them. It is
from the Tribunus angusticlavia that the Tribunus laticlavius are promoted.
The senior or most trusted Tribnunus angusticlavia is often promoted to
Tribunus laticlavius, or it may be the trusted friend of the Legatus
legionis. Tribunus angusticlavia can also be from noble
families, in which the members have been trained in the art of strategy and
warfare. In most legions, the Tribunus angusticlavia are promoted from
within, though it is not unheard-of high-ranking nobles that have military
experience to promoted to the rank. Those nobles that have promoted to
Tribunus angusticlavia have often served with their parents as aides on
campaigns. Young nobles are placed at this level to be mentored by
the Tribunus laticlavius and the Legatus legionis. It is common
that an inexperienced Tribunus angusticlavia will have their senior commanders collaborate
closely with them and instruct them to the ways of warfare before letting them
go out and perform oversee missions on their own. 1 Tribunus laticlavius, this is the legion’s second in
command. 1 Legatus legionis, this is the legion commander.
Chattignon also have both a mounted cavalry and airborne
cavalry consisting of giant eagles Elvish Legion Five hundred Footmen (they are armed with a Longsword, Tower
Shield, Full Plate, and short bow) AC22 Two thousand Archer (Composite longbow, buckler shield,
Elven Chainmail, and longsword) AC21 1500 arcane spell casters (Staff, Rapier, Longbow, and
dagger) Usually One thousand Divine spell casters (Heavy Shield, Full Plate,
Longbow, and Long Sword) AC21 Centaur 4100 Heavy Centaur Calvary (they are armed with a longsword, tower
shield, Full Plate and Heavy Lance) AC24 450 Divine spell caster riders (Heavy Shield, Full
Plate, Longbow, and long sword) 450 Arcane Spell Caster Rider For Every five Centaurs, a divine Spellcaster or Arcane
Spellcaster will be assigned as rider. The Elves also have at their disposal two entire legions of
Griffin Knights. Griffin Knights are trained knights that have taken a
cohort as the mount. Griffin Knights are known by the honorific of
Sir. All Griffin Knights must have the series of needed feats to become
one and have taken the leadership feat to make their mount their cohort.
Griffin Knights all have the following feats to qualify for the title of
Knight: Mounted Combat, Leadership, Mounted Archery, Ride by
Attack, Spirited Charge, Trample and Cavalry Charge. The Fey enforces the Elvish army acting as their auxiliary units.
Average cost to support each legion this size with the
starting level being of soldiers and/or casters being third level is 731,425 GP
per month. That is standard mercenary pay for each position and
level. Chattignon is known to pay 200% the normal going rate,
Thechlon usually pays 175% standard and the Dwarves paying 150% standard
rate. Standard rate is also what most mercenaries are paid,
though some are paid more due to their ability, experience, and their ability
to act on the behalf of a noble with no questions asked. Trapalea
pays normal rate, Calcaria pays approximately 150% standard rate due to
requiring most of their recruits to have seafaring knowledge.
Satoria's army is entirely constructs with only the officers being
humanoid. Griffon knights and Eagle Knights are always officers
and thus are paid more due to their ability of riding flying mounts.
The starting level for the two is eighth level and are usually fighters
turned cavaliers.
