A discussion I was having with Ben Bruck, combined with flipping through the Game Mastery Guide's NPC Gallery on the PRD and re-reading certain Kingmaker volumes, has led me to build incredibly stupid (yet technically effective) mass combat armies. The problem is, now I can't stop doing it. I encourage you to join along. Maybe your kingdom needs fields of barmaids or an elite cadre of prisoners, too.

Here's a couple examples:

VILLAGE IDIOT HORDE CR 1
Huge army of humans (commoner 1)
COMBAT
hp 2; DV 11; OM +1
LOGISTICS
Speed 2; Consumption 1
Prerequisite excessive mercury in the drinking water

ELITE PRISONER CADRE CR 2
Medium army of humans (expert 4)
COMBAT
hp 9; DV 12; OM +2
LOGISTICS
Speed 2; Consumption 2
Prerequisite must have watched at least one prison break film; cannot act unless Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak" is playing

TOURING MINSTREL TROUPE CR 1
Tiny army of humans (bard 6)
COMBAT
hp 4; DV 11; OM +1
LOGISTICS
Speed 2; Consumption 1
Prerequisite lute sale

WAVE OF HOOKERS CR 9
Colossal army of humans (expert 1/rogue 1)
COMBAT
hp 40; DV 19; OM +9
LOGISTICS
Speed 2; Consumption 9
Prerequisite Nevada

EDIT: After talking to Booms, I have added the following:

OH $#!@ MONKEYS CR 4
Colossal army of monkeys
COMBAT
hp 18; DV 14; OM +4
LOGISTICS
Speed 2; Consumption 4
Special Abilities fling poo
Prerequisite kingdom ruler must speak French; bananas must be in season

Perhaps the Lollipop Guild, a colossal army of halfling expert confectioners with maybe a level of ranger so they could have witches as a favored enemy?

Their special ability would be "I'm Gonna Get You, Sucker" which would of course involve the ability to use large lollipops and suckers as improvised weapons.


no access to kingmaker, but...
an army composed entirely of master summoners, all of whom are at least third level. special abilities: does not attack, sends wave after wave of summoned celestial riding dogs (buffed with augmented summoning) at the enemy until they eventually succumb.
