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 maintenance. 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.
Assignement
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.
