Armies are large land forces that form the bulk and any nation's defence. Made up of soldiers of all kinds, they battle through the enemies of The Concord for coin, country, and comrades.
Armies are lead by Generals
Game Information
Cost: 30 Mithril + Ten Vaults
Upkeep: 5 Vaults
Construction Time: 2 Seasons. The Cost in Vaults must be paid during the Summit the army is commissioned, with the Mithril being paid either at the same time, or before the end of the following Summit.
Limitation: The Concord may only maintain as many combined armies and navies as it has regions under its control.
An army has a starting strength of 5000. If an army ever falls below 20% of its maximum strength, it disbands. An army with a maximum strength of 5000 is referred to as a ‘standard’ army.
When an army is created, it is assigned to a single Concordian Realm. That army belongs to that Realm and will use its realmic traditions when electing it.
Upgrading an Army
An army may be upgraded, increasing its maximum strength to 7500 for a cost of 15 Mithril and 5 Vaults. This process takes two seasons and requires a Senate motion. This follows the same construction time rules as building a new army. Once upgraded, this army is classified as a ‘large’ army. The army that is upgraded will gain 2500 extra troops, reflecting these new recruits.
Emergency Resupply
Provided an army did not engage in an aggressive campaign last season, the Senate may authorise an emergency resupply. For a cost of 3 Wains of Mithril and 3 Vaults, the army may have its strength immediately healed by 500. Each army can only be emergency resupplied a maximum of twice per summit, for a maximum of 1000 extra strength.
