Guys, as you know, Shaqmar marched out against the Ma'Erkoz with 40,000 warriors in his war party, and was later joined by 10,000 of the Tagham.

A few battles took place between 10,000+ hordes on either side as seen in the second CyKhollab. Cyclone has just objected about these numbers and wants me to retroactively edit (>:CCCC). He says that these armies are bigger than the populations of (maybe?) all of Galbar, or significant population centres. I insist that these numbers are only natural and in line with what I've read on Mongols as well as ancient battles. Cyclone says Mongols are much later historically than the relative period on Galbar at the moment - but if we look to, say, the Huns and Romans, they had battles which had over 50,000 warriors on each side (at a minimum): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Catalaunian_Plains

So, just want to get thoughts on the matter as I'm particularly averse to retro-editing anything.

[hider=Just some stats]When Alexander invaded India - while neither side is nomadic - there were tens of thousands on each side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Hydaspes
And earlier in his campaign, he appears to have gone up against a Persia with up to 250,000 against him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaugamela
The Battle of Kadesh, a truly ancient battle, is reported to have had up to 50,000 soldiers on one side, 20,000 on the other: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kadesh
Another (less) ancient battle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Plataea
This one relies heavily on an ancient source, but even if one reduces the numbers by four or fives times they are considerable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thymbra[/hider]
