level distribution in units (wa
I recently came up with this rule for knight mustering:
It´s free (no GB cost - you must pay the maintenance though) and the
limitation is you can muster one unit for each three levels a province has
(level 3 gives vou 1 unit; level 6 -2units; three level 1 - no units). I
did this because I see knights as units made up of nobles and their
men-at-arms. You don´t pay the mustering (they´re already there - trained
and equiped) but you must wait the normal time until they are ready to
fight (you must wait for their arrival).
As for level they´re a mix of first to third level nobles (the ones in the
province trained in the arts of war even maybe with some adventuring
experience some of them) and they´re bodyguards (zero or first level).
Remember that losing one such unit at war brings some problems (the
province may lose some of it´s most influential characters). That´s not all
bad as it brings new role-playing situations (new nobles, rebelion
(unsatisfied nobles who lost children at war),.
