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.
