Just a note: 5/10 is average on this scale.
Skill Levels
1/10 - Childsplay
These soldiers can barely even use their weaponry. If military training was high school, these soldiers would have no hope of going to college.
2/10 - Hyperincompetent
While actually possessing some form of ability, it's miniscule and almost pathetic.
3/10 - Stormtrooper
They're capable of using their equipment, just not very well.
4/10 - Newbie
Soldiers of this level are below-average in skill and are unlikely to find much success anywhere.
5/10 - Trained
Typical infantry. This is the average level of skill.
6/10 - Professional
Soldiers of this tier are better than average and often their army relies less on numbers.
7/10 - Knight
Better than pro. Soldiers of this tier are probably born to fight!
8/10 - Napoleonic
These soldiers are staggeringly good at combat and may be able to destroy armies much larger than their own very reliably.
9/10 - Gurkha
Soldiers this skilled can often destroy armies orders of magnitude larger with just a little effort.
10/10 - Carolean
Soldiers of this skill are terrifying. They will defeat any army you throw at them, no matter how big!
Discipline
1/10 - Horde
Soldiers like this have no sense of teamwork. They might fight well, but that doesn't help if one rushes in blindly!
2/10 - Fragile
They can hardly form any sort of formation or operation without it being so easy to break.
3/10 - Incompetent
Soldiers of this tier have as much ability to coordinate with their teammates as a 12-year-old COD player.
4/10 - Militia
They can work as a team, coordinate, and take orders, but it's not going to be any more complex than 'literally everyone just rush the target'
5/10 - Coordinated
How a typical soldier works. They communicate well with their comrades.
6/10 - Bonded
The soldiers coordinate well with their teammates and can work with other military elements well.
7/10 - Comrades
These soldiers have such great teamwork skills that it feels as if the army is one big family!
8/10 - Combined Arms
Most armies are capable of making some usage of combined arms, but the quality of discipline in this army allows for every single conflict to employ it!
9/10 - British
These soldiers, if they were line infantry, would feel more like brick walls than humans.
10/10 - Prussian
There is simply no army in the world capable of replicating how competent your soldiers are!
Morale
1/10 - In a Trench
Your soldiers find everything hopeless and would always rather be anywhere else.
2/10 - Draftees
Half of them probably don't even want to be there, and the other half have just given up on complaining about it.
3/10 - Cowardly
While there's a chance they're not all wanting to leave, they're very easy to scare into a retreat.
4/10 - Soft
With just a little elbow grease from the enemy, your soldiers will start to feel little hope.
5/10 - Willing
Typical infantry. They'll fight on if they have to and it's a little hard to scare them.
6/10 - High Spirits
These men are glad to fight for your nation, and will not back down without a fight!
7/10 - Fierce
These soldiers will fight through any terrain and with any casualties!
8/10 - Surging
At this point, it's not possible to break this army's morale. You either break their officer's morale, or destroy them.
9/10 - Jingoistic
Whatever the reason may be, be it hatred, fearlessness, or stupidity, these soldiers have an iron will.
10/10 - Fanatical
These soldiers are simply impossible to scare. They fight as if their enemy is a genocidal monster hoping to wipe their civilization out!
Note: You don't have to use this to measure an entire army. It can be used for individual branches or groups.
