"Chapter 184: Comparison of Arms"
Like all ordinary people, I used to chase fame and fortune. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info And I often get more than I expected. However, I never found the satisfaction I had hoped for in the beginning. If you think about it, why do we need to reduce our own senseless greed? Here's a very compelling reason.

The special characters in the Shogunate system all have their own initial experience levels, and the same is true for the Roman City system, and what really makes the Shogunate Palace system more useful than the Roman City system is the initial experience level of the regular classes in the Shogunate Hall system.
There is no initial experience level for the regular troops that can be recruited in the Roman City system, in other words, the Roman light infantry and Roman heavy infantry recruited in the Roman City system, and even the future Roman elite garrison legions, their initial experience level is zero.
The difference in the actual combat effectiveness of the Roman City system classes with the same initial experience level is expressed by the weaponry and soldier quality between the different classes, for example, the weapons and equipment of the Roman heavy infantry are more than a cut stronger than the Roman Roman light infantry.
Even on the premise that the quality of the soldiers is the same, the army that uses the weapons and equipment of the Roman heavy infantry is stronger than the army that uses the weapons and equipment of the Roman light infantry, and the quality of the soldiers of the Roman heavy infantry is also stronger than that of the Roman light infantry, so that the Roman heavy infantry is strong.
If a squad of Roman light infantry participated in several fierce battles in quick succession and killed a significant number of enemy troops in the battle, their experience level would increase, and the Roman light infantry promoted to level 1 would have the strength to compete with the initial Roman heavy infantry.
The first-level Roman light infantry competed with the zero-level Roman heavy infantry, and nine times out of ten the victories were still Roman heavy infantry, but the Roman light infantry did not necessarily have no possibility of winning;
The Tier 0 Roman Light Infantry will definitely not be able to defeat the Tier 0 Roman Heavy Infantry, the Tier 1 Roman Light Infantry can barely fight against the Tier 0 Roman Heavy Infantry, and the Tier 2 Roman Light Infantry can engage in a fierce battle with the Tier Zero Roman Heavy Infantry, or even more dominant.
If it was a third-level Roman light infantry against a zero-level Roman heavy infantry, then the Roman heavy infantry would not even have the ability to resist, and the powerful Roman light infantry could definitely defeat the Roman heavy infantry in a crushing posture in battle.
It is undeniable that this setting of the Roman city system does have its reasonableness, but it wastes the value of the system; what is the system, the existence of the system itself is a BUG, and a BUG that is restricted by rules and regulations, so what is it called a BUG?
The Roman city system, which was too rigid and conventional, had its rational side and its irrational side, and the new shogunate system was precisely the perfect system that put aside all constraints and only reflected the value of its existence!
The pikefoot and arquebusier, which cost only 200 kob, and the iron gunner, which cost 350 kob, all started at level 1, making them the three lowest in the shogunate, but having a higher experience level than all Roman starting classes.
The spear warrior who recruits 400 stone and the archer who costs 600 stone recruit both have a second-level initial experience level, and their strength is equivalent to that of a junior samurai in the Yamato Empire, and they are already middle- and lower-level officers in the general small family army of the Yamato Empire.
The 600-stone Notai Sword Samurai and the Navenile Sword Samurai, the 900-stone Naïve Cavalry, and the 1,000-stone archers, pikemen, and hoplites were the main classes of the shogunate's arms.
The strength of the third-level military is equivalent to that of the mid-level samurai, which is the main part of the Yamato Empire's samurai class, and even among the ten most powerful families in the Yamato Empire, the mid-level samurai are also the most elite part of their family's army!
Even if the Yamato Empire had 100,000 samurai, there were about 50,000 samurai loyal to small families and below the intermediate level, and the number of samurai who really reached the intermediate level would not exceed 50,000.
Less than 50,000 mid-level samurai were distributed among the ten families that dominated the Yamato Empire, and the average number of mid-level samurai per family was about 5,000, and each team of the shogunate was 120 soldiers, and 50 teams of third-level troops were 6,000 mid-level samurai!
What does such data mean? This means that under the premise that Shi Gao is sufficient, Bai Feng only needs two months for the Yanhuang family to catch up with the top ten families of the Yamato Empire in terms of the number and quality of warriors, and even have the strength of the samurai that surpasses them!
The high-level samurai above the middle-level samurai were the mainstay of the samurai class of the Yamato Empire; there were not many high-level samurai in ordinary small families, and the number of high-level samurai in each of the three major families of the Mutsu Kingdom that the Yanhuang family had conquered successively did not exceed a hundred.
This number of no more than a hundred also includes the important ministers of the three families who have the strength of the special samurai, so the lowest, among the families after the top ten families, the high-ranking samurai is also a general at the level of a general in the army.
Even among the ten families with many powerful samurai, the status of senior samurai is not low, and at least they are generals at the level of ashigaru generals in the army; ashigaru generals may not seem to have a high status, but they are key middle-level officers in an army who play a key role in connecting the upper and lower levels.
It can be seen from this that the importance of high-level samurai is indeed not comparable to that of middle-level samurai; you see, the ten major families of the Yamato Empire all have elite samurai units formed with middle-level samurai as the main force, but there is no army formed with high-level samurai as the main force.
The most powerful regular class of the shogunate is the Monk with a recruitment cost of 1,000 stone and an initial experience level of 4! Fanatical faith always makes for a strong army, and the Monk with strong faith and strong strength is a typical example.
There were no classes that could match the level of madness, and Bai Feng believed that the Germanic berserkers with level 5 strength in the Guards Battalion could easily defeat a group of monks in a head-on battle, but they could not defeat a group of monks.
Of course, the greatest advantage of the monks was not their almost insane faith, but the infinite number of recruits they could make, and the limited number of Germanic berserkers and Spartan hoplites, at best, the assault force that Bai Feng valued, had a limited role on the battlefield.
If the city of Rome has a monk army of tens of thousands, then can the so-called ten thousand families of the Yamato Empire still stop the pace of the Yanhuang family's army?
The monk soldiers, who have both quantity and quality, are undoubtedly the strongest troops in the shogunate palace system, and even all the troops in the Roman city system cannot be compared with the monk soldiers (before the Marius military reform, the Roman system was indeed inferior to the monk soldiers)!
As soon as he thought that he was about to have a large number of monk troops under his command, Bai Feng's face showed a smug smile, if it weren't for the fact that returning to the Heavenly Dragon Empire was a major event that would determine the future of Roman City, maybe Bai Feng would be ready to unify the Yamato Empire and leave later.
