Army

Armies are the backbone of the military organisation. They allow better command and communications structures, and a realm should strive to use the army system as best as possible, if it wants to be successful on the battlefield.

Army Sponsors

In a medieval world, every army is sponsored by a noble, usually a lord or government member. New armies can be created at any time, for a small sum of gold. The army sponsor can choose the army marshal (and change him at any time), and he can dissolve the army if he chooses so. He is also the only one who can put money into the army war chest.

Marshal

The marshal is in charge of the army. He chooses offensive and defensive formations to use in battle, and can update the standing orders.

War Chest

Every army has a war chest, (hopefully) filled with gold. The function of the war chest is to allow the army to operate better, by sharing the financial burden of troop maintainance. As long as there is gold in the war chest, half of what members of the army pay for training and repairs will be paid out of the war chest.

Communications

In addition to the standing orders, every knight who is assigned to an army also has additional messaging options in his normal Messages page, to contact all or some members of his army.

Assignment

The liege lord of every knight decides which army to dispatch him or her to. While this might sound weird at first, it is actually very logical - after all, the knight has pledged his services to the liege, and assignment to an army is simply military service.
