Relative Faction/House Millitary Strength...

[Camtheman]

Economoic strength is part of military strength. It is rather idiotic to try to make a comparision in regards to power and dismiss the very base of their power.

Thanks Daedric, I really appreciate that... :L

I wasn't talking about millitary sustainabillity. Just full on right now if everyone were to war with eachother who'd come up on top.

Rhienland lost its entire millitary (except for RNC-Westfalen...) in the 80 year war.

In the time between then and the SP Campaign, they became the strongest house, which is one reason the Nomads wanted them, that and they're damn near bordering the Nomad Worlds/Eastern/Nothern Omicrons, which can be seen when Juni talks about a 'recent Rhienland expedition...' to the Nomad worlds, one assumes they were infected, came back and infected Chancellor Hitler... I mean... Niemann... ( I could never really pinpoint the exact spelling of his name =P) who in turn infected Governor Tekagi...

EDIT: Which reminds me, why is Tekagi's Arch still Wilde? Would the Kusarians really leave a-pink-elephant-in-the-room sitting -just- above their main systems? I doubt it, seriously.

Which is odd to me, considering Rhienland was full on threatening bombarding Planet New Tokyo during the Nomad War. If Kusari is on your side... then... why bombard them? Confused. Perhaps not all were on their side. Maybe just random plot twist Governor Tekagi.

Anyway, I digress.

I feel that Kusari is higher than Bretonia on the scale because they beat back Bretonia and had a minor tiff with Gallia, which has since stopped. Now, however, Bretonia successively after fighting Kusari now has to fight Gallia, a much harder opponent, which is why they are lower on the list.

Gallia, written in the highly lolwutty Igiss-friendly lore, is equal to 2 full size houses, according to what I've heard...

Again, the quantity/quality thing comes up... Gallia... appears to have both but highly stretched supply lines... evidenced by the taking over of the Gate Construction Site in Tau-23, and the Gaian Guard station in Lewis.

Eh.

Let me do the numbers thing too.

Gallia: 250,000
Liberty: 100,000
Rhienland: 75,000
Kusari: 50,000
Nomads: 25,000 <---------- Suncrusher? Planetkiller? Deathstar? Quantity/Quality thing again.
Bretonia: 20,000
Corsairs: 10,000
Outcasts: 8,000
Red Hessians: 4,000
Zoners: 3,500
Order: 1,500-2,000 after the Battle of Omicron Minor
