Darokinian Military: Post-PWA
by James RuhlandThe below are war-machine stats for Darokinian forces some time after the "Poor Wizard's Almanac" era. If you are using the MA timeline or some variant of that timeline, these would be the units Darokin would possess around AC 1017.
Basis: Renaissance; male & female (2% standing, up to 20% wartime); population 1,260,000; wartime (barely).
Darokin's forces have fought in many battles over the last several years, and as a result have seen some improvement. Tax revenues have been too low to allow for more, however, so the army of Darokin still suffers from numerous deficiencies.
