An average battle, between two regents, should, in my opinion, consist
of roughly 12 units total. This is based off the average number of
Units a regent would have.
A war between Beoruine and Avanil, two of the most heavily armed
Domains in Cerilia, would total 57 units. Most regents have far, far
fewer Units, many having none at all. There are only 149 units in *all*
of Anuire, according to the Ruins of Empire booklet (i just added it
up). That's 9 units per domain on average. That drops to, like, 2
units per domain if you remove Avanil, Beoruine, and The Gorgon's Crown.
Secondly, those 14 units were fighting over a *single city*, not a
province or domain.
