Unit Reports

Crip's scribe produces unit reports for his army. Crip has so far discovered the following about the origins of the numbers represented on those reports. Here is his current file on this:

My Statistics

Physical Age: straightforward

Character Class: straightforward

Honour: the number of times my name has been mentioned favourably in inns and taverns which my scribe frequents

Prestige: the number of times my name has been mentioned in my scribe's company by anyone of great importance, such as region lords or royalty

Gold: straightforward, though I wish I didn't have an ex-pickpocket as a scribe - there's no way he should know such information

Bonds: straightforward, though again I have no idea how he manages to find this out when I keep them on my person at all times

Status: unless I write something different myself, this always seems to be "ok", unless I've been injured, in which case he just puts "wounded"

Time Pool: something to do with how long we have until the men's brandy rations run out, and therefore how much time before I will get murmerings in the ranks if I give them more orders

Unit Statistics

Captain (+X): the figure in brackets is the number of Skat tournaments that the captain has won

Type: straightforward: infantry, archers or cavalry, I believe

Strength: number of men under my command; wounded listed separately

Training: still not sure on this one

Weapons/Armour: still not sure on these two

Damage: still not sure on this one

Morale: equal to the percentage of men who want seconds at dinner - my scribe is utterly convinced that only happy men have hungry stomachs

Cohesion: equal to the number of men who stay after dinner to play cards, less the number of arguments that they have in my scribe's presence during the day

Combat Strength: still not sure on this one

Designation: a vague description of the sort of work I've been asking them to do recently

Last paid: straightforward
