How big is a division?

[zute]

I apologize for another lame-ass question, but in the story I'm writing now this actually has relevance. It's the difference between paranoia and reasonable concern.

When you rescue Riordan he tells you that Loghain had turned away 200 Grey Wardens and two dozen divisions of cavalry.  When I looked up division sizes I got utterly enormous numbers like 10,000 for single light infantry division, in the modern army. I'm sure that must be vastly larger than in middle ages terms.

Does anyone have a feel for how many actually people that would be? 

My thanks!

Actually, I've given my answer many times, but you've just decided to blithely handwave it with a "oh, that's just game mechanics" excuse because it doesn't gel with your "poor Loghain and Anora are the victims of a greedy, oppressive and avaricious nobility" pet theory that happens to be in contradiction to pretty much every bit of lore about Ferelden.

Yet another straw man argument. I mean really, this is a gross mischaracterization of what I've said. Unsurprising really, since you've been doing that throughout this entire discussion thread.

But you're right. There really isn't any point continuing as having a rational discussion is pretty much impossible with someone who ignores most of the points and arguments completely and totally misrepresents everything else.
