Seems just like a regular infantry unit when fighting monsters in an open field (Battle in Aestus)

Battle in Aestus report:
1 Attacker; 12 Monsters; line; 6 % org; 635 CS
9 Defender; 23 SF; line; normal; 94% organization; 532 CS

Total:

10 defenders (188 Inf, 77 MI, 58 Cav, 53 SF)

Honour and Recruitment

Researcher: Erazem Luegg
As can be found on Honour and Recruitment page the general formula seems to follows:
Number of men = Factor * Honour + Offset

Unit type	Factor	Offset
Infantry	1.5	22
Archers	1.5	22
Cavalry	0.5	7
Special Forces*	0.5	7

^* Suspected, will be tested in the future.

My unit (max 23 men, 32 honour) has the same limitation as the formula for Cavalry (23 = 0.5*32+7), so it is reasonable to conclude the formula is the same. This will be easily verified with a different honour. We should also check if Cavaliers get additional allowance as per cavalry.
