As I'm playing SIFRP again, this time as a combat/warfare focussed character, a question came up in my mind about combined units.
A cavalry unit is 20 men plus horses while a regular unit (including the personal guard) is 100 men strong.
The main question is: If I combine a non-cavalry unit and a cavalry unit (I plan to create a Cavalry-Personal Guard), would the unit be 20 men or 100 men strong?
In addition: If I already had a personal guard (100 men strong), would it be possible to just "buy" trained war-horses for those guys and re-assign their experience points? If so, should I spend wealth (a Destrier is 1000 SS which equals ~5 GD, meaning 500 GD = 2,5 Wealth) to buy horses or do I need to spend power for the upgrade?
If spending power is the way to go, would the upgrade cost 5 Power (difference between Personal Guard and Cavalry-Personal Guard) or 25 Power (difference x5) as I'd basically create 5x20 Personal Guard-Cavalry-Men?
The later option seems logical, but it would cause the problem of Personal-Guard Cavalry being cheaper to field than actual cavalry as you'd only have to pay training cost once.
→ Veteran Personal Guard (5+6 = 11 Power) + 5x Cavalry (5x5 = 25 Power) = 36 Power for 5x Veteran PG-Cavalry.
→ 5x Veteran Cavalry (5x (5+5 = 10)) = 50 Power for 5x Veteran Cavalry.
I'm so confused.
