I would say the prince had around 2000 ... true each battle is 1000 something but remember that near the end there is always like 2 battles happening at the same time and we are not even aware of all the little battle on side that Georg prime had to do when he gathered mercenaries and stopped some plans to destroy the rebel army.

In game battle, the most I ever got in prince army was 1200 or 1150.

hmm in retrospect that's kinda pathetic i mean an NPC said felena could have 100,000 at a moment notice and all godwin and Hero5 could come up with must not be no more than 10,000 troops if we were to include all battles

Its probably for Game-Mechanic reasons rather then plot-reasons that the count is so low. Or maybe not...

I'd say no more than 12,000 for Godwin, and 5,000-8,000 for the prince, if you combine the numbers together.

It doesn't make sense that the Prince had so few troops. After all, Arshtat does not exaggerate when she's not under the influence of the Sun Rune. I think Falena's got to have at least as many troops as the Toran Republic.

Arshtat said to Lym in a Sacred Games cutscene that more than 100.000 soldiers could be gathered in case of war. So the numbers during the war battles don't make sense and I don't think they should be acknowledged at all. They're for gameplay reasons only.

When it comes to story, gameplay elements should never be used. It's good to remember that.

Spudtrooper's numbers don't look so bad if they had an extra 0 at the end. I'd find that more believeable.

Those numbers were no more than totals of units' HP values, yes?

I think the working idea is that 1 soldier = 1 HP.

hmm i've just replayed the game. We know at least that during the first battle the numbers were accurate so i guess maybe the numbers in battle are very accurate. Maybe the reason they couldn't get 100,000 troops was becouse they couldn't. They did say no one was up for another war for the crown. Maybe they coudln't muster up that much force.

Theres an amzingly huge difference between 1000 and 100.000. That would mean about 90.000 soldiers went missing...

Weren't a large amount of soldiers protecting some towns and the Ceras Castle ? Errr... not really large, maybe 2000-3000 for the Castle + all the towns protected... I can't hardly believe someone (Lucretia in this case) letting like 25'000 soldiers at the castle while fighting a war with less than 1500 soldiers...
For Arshtat's words... even if she counted the Barrow + Godwin soldiers, the Dragon Knights and all the young mens of the towns. She'd barely have like, 25'000-40'000 soldiers at best.
It's probably true Story-wise though... when the Prince attacks a place, the amount of soldiers Godwin have would probably be dispatched for each locations under control. And by the way... they all traded their old uniforms for the Godwin's... sad :cry:
Anyway, not so important for me... it's a common error I guess.

Um how can you assume those numbers in game have any bearing on storyline facts. Just because it says 1000 soldiers or whatever does not prove that falena did not have 10000 or 100000.
