Troop Types
Troop Types for mass combat rules.
Light Foot
The basic troop type that comes (automatically) with each Defence Point. The individual unit can be changed slightly to give a 'personalized' description - but AC should stay about the same and weapons are restricted to d6 damage. You automatically get a single unit of light foot (12 soldiers, 1 sergeant) for each defence point you develop.
Light Foot are the main utility unit. They might be used to - guard buildings, carry out countryside patrols, police a city, staff watchtowers, guard gates, patrol city walls, etc.
Medium Foot
Using the ‘Elite’ Special Quality as listed by Paizo.
These are professional soldiers who expect only to be used in times of war or civil insurrection. They don’t do basic patrols or civic policing. They cost 2bp (or a one BP upgrade) and take up 2 defence points.
