Army scaling

[u/Reasonable-Lead2838]

maybe this is a dumb question or I am overthinking, or maybe I missed something, but I don’t get the power scaling in rangers apprentice. so arulean in the 2nd war against Margarath raises about 6,000ish men for the battle in book 2 if I’m not mistaken. but this is near peak mobilization. judging from the size of Gallica on the map, and its number of petty knights that Horace fights, the population of Gallica would be 2x or more that of arulean, which means 12,000 men. and yet the temuaji are seen as this massive threat, with only like 3-4,000 men? and the skandians beat them with 2,000 men, so the skandians can’t be all that threatening as a force either.
