Some suggestions for army lists. They could be, but weren’t intended to be, used in conjunction with my Twilight of the Sun-King rules.
All percentages are the maximum number of elements of that type compared to total number of elements in the army. There are limits for general types (eg Foot), and for specific instances of the type (eg Guards). Neither kind of limit can be exceeded.
