How did you do your military organization, Splint?
Squads of 3-5 men drilling constantly, equipped largly with a mix of steel, copper, regular bronze, and bismuth bronze. 1st company defends the surface, and conists of:
1st Squad: 4 halberdiers, 3 of them axelords, the remainder close to it. they're armed with 3 bronze halberds and one bismuth bronze. They lack shields due to thier wepaons being multigrasp, not that it matters. They're armored in a mix of steel, copper, and bismuth bronze.
2nd squad : 3 hammermen, all hero level with legendary fighting and hammering armed with silver war hammers of well to exceptional quality and both types of bronze for shields, with coper armor.
3rd Squad: 4 wrestlers, competant or better, with skilled or better fighting. Armored largly in copper and bronze, with leather helmets and body armor so they'd stop killing eachother in training. They'd be better, but I burned through 3 recruits in the span of month.
4th Squad: 5 men, Elite lashers or close to it. Armored similarly to 2nd squad. Mostly killed thieves and snatchers.
5th Squad: 4 men, two swordmasters. Armed with copper or bronze longswords and armored similarly to 2nd and 4th squads.
while 2nd company defends the caverns. In terms of armor it's a mix of copper and bronze mostly, with lather for the rest that they geared up in on thier own.
1st squad: 4 men, armed with bronze and copper great axes. No shields, not that that matters since there's nothing with a ranged weapon down in the caverns but antmen.
2nd squad: 4 men, all maulers. Armed with silver and bronze mauls. No shields.
3rd Squad: 3 men, armed with two copper scimitars and one steel shortsword. equpped with wood, copper, or bismuth bronze shields.
4th squad: Unformed. Going to have 4 men with a mixture of copper and iron pikes taken from goblins. Armor will be whatever is available.
Townwatch: human equivalent to the fortress guard, led by a Townwatch Commander. 4 men, armed with mostly steel flails and bronze shields. Mostly geared in bismuth bronze and copper with leather gloves. Currently only killed three thieves.
I have no rangers of any sort since I view it as horribly inefficent in terms of raw killing ability and resources used unless it's an oneshot, and when marksgobs attack I use my teeming horde of war dogs as a shield, drawing them in close enough to attack with soldiers. last group that attacked the fort went after my herd of horses and was promptly jumped by dogs and cut apart by 1st squad, 1st company by itself.
