I'm trying to make a mass combat system for battles with hundreds or thousands of NPCs for the roman campaign I am running.

So far I have based it off Testament, by green ronin, but I am adding army movement rules and a variable damage multiplier depending on the number of men in the unit. Has anybody tried something similar? If so, could you outline me the general concept, and tell me if it worked out for you or not?

If someone's interested, I can submit to critics the 3 base classes I have created: the legionnary (more like any professionnal soldier in fact, replacing the fighter), the officer (a little bit like a more martial oriented bard, with paladin tidbits) and the auxilia (expert of thrown weapon and harassment tactics)

Have a good day!
