Hundred Kingdoms Army Rules (english)

The brave people of the Hundred Kingdoms have three more or less useful special rules whereby we always have to choose between Relentless Drill and Veteran.

Dynastic Alliances
We are allowed to have two warlords with all the advantages and disadvantages that result from that. In other words, we have a second Supremacy Ability and we give up the points for the Warlord twice in Melee and Head to Head. Important: the Priory Commander counts as the same model regardless of the order. Likewise the Noble Lord on foot or on horseback. Therefore, an army cannot be commanded by one Noble Lord on foot and one on horseback.
Since most Supremacists in the Hundred Kingdoms are just nice, there's only so much you can do with it. But having is always better than needing.

Relentless Drill
All infantry regiments get support (2) or +1 if they already have support. This is free and rarely does anything and is only chosen for me if I don't want to use veterans or if I rely a lot on Militia, Household Guard and Gilded Legion, because these stands from the back rows then provide 3 attacks. In other words, I can make them narrow and move better.

Veterans
Any number of regiments can be upgraded to veterans if they have an officer and a standard. Veterans have +1 Clash or +1 Volley. Of course we don't get this for free, as the cost of the officer doubles for veterans and we only get the bonus if the unit actually has a standard AND an officer with it. This quickly gets to the point as many of the officers are rather mixed, but it also allows us to hit safely with our few attacks.

Regiments that are allowed to become veterans:

  •  Household Guard
  • Men at Arms
  • Militia
  • Militia Bowmen
  • Mounted Squire
  • Household Knights
  • Gilded Legion
  • Hunter Cadre
  • Steel Legion

 Saying in general that this or that unit should always become veterans is difficult and depends heavily on the application and is directly examined in the regiments guide.
