Equestria Divided: Earthborn Creation Table

House Earthborn Army Creation Table

Origins
Roll 1d10
1-2
Militia Raised
This military force has its roots in a town or city militia, a collection of ponies who banded together to protect their settlements from outsiders, strange foreign peoples, and monsters.  They were likely appropriated by House Earthborn after it was formed, and heavily drilled into the fighting force they are today, although they may still have heavy ties to a specific area and other quirks that predate the House.
3-5
Veteran Force
This army was one of the first to be raised up entirely by the House itself. It is roughly as old as House Earthborn and thus has likely evolved as the House itself grew into the society it is today.  It is also likely that this force played a role in some of the House’s earliest battles and crises, such as the first battles with House Everfree.
6-9
Volunteer Force
This particular army is a fairly recently made unit of soldiers who willingly joined up to fight with the House for a variety of reasons, ranging from ponies who possess idealistic views of their house to ponies who simply wanted to join and fight out of glory or wanderlust.
10
Conscription Force
This fairly recently raised army is made up of ponies who were more or less forced to join the House’s military, and could not serve the house in any other way aside from being frontline soldiers.

Size
Roll 1d10

1-3
Regiment
2000-6000
A regiment is generally large enough to be considered an army in its own right but is also small enough that it can fill a specialized niche roll as part of a larger force.  It typically acts as its own independent force and can sustain itself in most situations.

4-6
Brigade
7,000-11,000
A brigade is typically considered the ideal Earthborn army, and is more often than not quite large and fields a fair variety of troops.

7-8
Division
12,000-16,000
A Division is the largest Earthborn army that is actively mobilized and used by the House, typically serving as the vanguard of most of the House’s campaigns.

9-10
Corps
17,000-21,000
A Corps is a massive Earthborn army that is almost only ever mobilized in the midst of a vital military campaign or in times of crisis.  It possesses a huge amount of diverse soldiers, although it is also quite difficult to manage

General’s Tactics
Note: Regardless of the size of the army, its leader is formally looked upon as a general by the House leadership and rank and file soldiery

What tactics this general prefers does not necessarily preclude the presence of any soldiers in his army but does determine how effectively he may use them.
