I know they are making it, but as they are vassals to our house, I assume we would know who they are and why we agreed to take them under our banner. Were they founded by a knight that our lord granted land? Were they a minor house that needed protection and swore fealty? Who is it we are trusting to uphold our interests aid us in times of conflict?

That kind of stuff.

Once we have the house finalized we will be able to give you the  information. We are still working out the details as you are also.

Feel fee to contact White as we have designated him  as our  primary coordinator, he is also still working out some more details with the DM.

Green, Red, and Gold have suggested three different sets of trips.  Brown preferred Red's. Gray and Purple duo you have a preference? Our a suggestion off your own?


I'm on my tablet,  so l can't list them here.

Garrisons are great for defense, but gain negative modifiers elsewhere. Let’s limit it to one unit.
Mountain guerrillas are a must for us, but let us start with only one unit of those as well and since we can’t afford a direct infantry, let’s get the next best thing, plains guerrillas. And always archers.


Banner house : 20
Trained Garrison : 5
Trained Mountain Guerrillas : 5
Trained Plains Guerrillas : 5
Trained Archers : 6

In reply to Purple (msg # 54):

Not trying to have a say in y'alls design process, but, the Mountains of the Moon have Hills and Mountins, how would you get trained in Plains?

Just a question for thought.

There have to be a few flat plains around there somewhere.

In reply to Purple (msg # 54):

Maybe they were trained somewhere else and send as dowry with one of the wives who hails from less elevated region.

Just wanna inform our lieges that Name, colors and words of the banner House have been decided upon as well as land features,

Name: Cragborn of Cragkeep
Colors: Argent and azure, one of symbols is full moon
Words: All bite and no bark!

Land features:

Mountain
Hamlet
River
Hills
Stream* 2
Grassland

Might I suggest:
 Trained Archers
 Green Cavalry
 Trained Garrison
 Trained Guerrillas (mountain)

The cavalry aren't as hard to control as other green units, and this way we have other forces afield that can more safely engage in melee. Guerrillas are useful for the sneak attack, but they are quite squishy.

I think I prefer Gray’s suggestion. One Guerilla troop is enough, I’ll take care of the archers and someone else can lead the others.

  Mrrgh... seems I was right, no cavalry or siege weapons on mountain terrain. I kind of wish we had taken a road as a domain feature now, haha.

Where did you read that we cannot have cavalry in the mountains?

Page 182 of the GoT edition core book.

Thank you.

Does that leave us with the following suggestions?

Gold:
Banner house: 20

Trained Garrison- 5
Trained Archers- 6
Green Infantry- 4
Green Personal Guard- 6


Green:
Trained Archers (6)
Trained Garrison (5)
Trained Cavalry (8)
Green Garrison (3)

Red:
2 trained garrison units 5 each - 10
1 trained Mountain Guerilla - 5
1 trained archers - 6
Aforementioned banner house - 20

Purple:
Banner house : 20
Trained Garrison : 5
Trained Mountain Guerrillas : 5
Trained Plains Guerrillas : 5
Trained Archers : 6

My vote would be for either Gold or Red's suggestions

Well, unfortunately, we can't have cavalry, so Green's complete suggestion isn't viable.

We can't use cavalry in our home domain, it doesn't mean we cannot have cavalry at all. Still useful for fighting outside our lands.

That is true.

I guess leave my suggestion on there given that, I hadn't considered it initially. Haha

I wonder if cavalry can just be used as heavy infantry when dismounted?

I wouldn't think so. They're cavalry. So they fight on horseback.

 Yeah, but just because they cannot use their horses doesn't mean they don't know how to fight. Getting unhorsed is a common occurrence, evidently knights in Westeros refrain from naming their war mounts for that very reason.

Definitely, but then we have two troops for the price of one. Unless there are specific rules for that in the book.

Except we don't because they can only act as one or the other at any given time. So we either have cavalry, or we paid too much for infantry (depending on where we are fighting)

If we pay for cavalry, we have cavalry. And cavalry cannot be used in the mountains. And now you're suggesting a workaround for that that makes cavalry more useful than they are.

Core rule book pg111 Cavalry can dismount and become infantry, but their cost Remains unchanged.
