Rate AL's military

Postby DDR 90 » Tue Jan 14, 2025 8:22 pm

Based on a combination of effectiveness, competency, training, realism, and equipment; just how well-constructed is the military made by AN? Is it a 1/10 summie powerwanking army or a 8/10 realistic well-rounded competent army?

Self-evidently, you need a military factbook and a detailed one at that.

Five out of ten. Basic functionality, hefty size, and emphasis on quality.

Judging from their modern iteration, they seem to be built for purely defensive purposes only but seems like the only thing they have standardized are their pistols which would not bode well for logistics including the tidbit about spreading their forces thin. So 3/10

Pretty cool to read, I really like the Order of Battle - wish I had an Army to do that with :p
Quite grounded with reality, but the lack of a navy disturbs me so I have to minus 0.1 in my ranking

7.9/10

BN, just so you know, Kanzlia disbanded its army after the civil war. I recommend you just checking out the Kanzlian Navy page (especially) and/or the Kanzlian Air Force page.

God its GORGEROUS! I love the way you have laid out your ships, (DID YOU DRAW THOSE?!?!) and I really appreciate the detailed ranks you have for your military. You are also the only other person other than myself who actually made a ship register with the names of all your ships. Your Airforce factbook is also really solid, and I continue to simp hard for the ranks in there. You also have great images and formatting, and I am super jelly of those hats. Really outstanding work. 13/10.

10/10, pretty much fictionalized and unrealistic for normal standards, but we aren't on normal standards, their army is complete and extremely well made, with high quality descriptions. Going from Modern tech to magic and even heroes.

6/10 The information was basic with the absence of a doctrine, especially with the Army factbook. The Air Force has numerous aircrafts but what they are and its capabilities are not specified though coming up with fictional weapons systems would be a huge undertaking. I also thought Nerasia would produce its own designs rather than manufacturing HK416s under license.
bn: it's still quite wip

10/10 Well constructed and written as a reserve based military. Likewise it is probably one of the most reasonably equipped armies i've found on NS, especially with how it states they are underfunded, which their equipment absolutely shows.

10/10 for my senses. Given the nations position, their military is built in mind of it's environment and seems well equipped for it's purposes. Bonus points for being adaptable, having adapted through a guerilla conflict and not being ridged in doctrine
NS stats are not canon.

9/10 in aesthetics because I love me some late antiquity and a properly structured, intimidating force of it's time and kept up to a harsh yet consistent standard of discipline, fitness and virtue.

3/10 if we're still powerscaling. Metal shields don't usually absorb orbital cannon fire unless your name is Captain America.

they are pretty horrifying, basically acting like a feral terrorist group rather then a military. I love the way you describe how their philosophy of despair and sadistic nihilism informs their military strategy. I also adore their vehicles. Not special weapons, not stolen military gear, but hijacked civilian aircraft, used to spread terror and destruction. Thats really unique and interesting. 9/10

I gotta say a 10/10 the concept is just really cool, and I love the attention to detail you took making this fantastical military feel grounded. The roles all make sense and the rank pyramid chart is easily understandable. Plus the factbooks are gorgeous, well done sir

The Cape Military is a well-equipped force with a reasonable military doctrine. After all, NATO-style small infantry tactics and mobile armored warfare are effective so is the Rhodesian Fireforce; they take the time to explain doctrine and the rationale behind them. But in their insurgency of theirs, it seems that they lack the political perspective of things to solve a conflict - preferring instead a military solution which just contributes to forever wars thereby bogging the military down. The equipment is standardized South African and there isn't anything out of place like African F-22s though this runs at risk of tying national defense with the ANC government. 10/10 in realism, 8/10 in effectiveness.
