Standing Force
A warlord team's army headcount, cut by 25% as the Democratic Sortion's first cheating penalty.
Story so far
Panford's ruling against the The Democratic Sortion specifies a 25% reduction in standing force as the first of three allowed Warlord Penalties, alongside the removal of two Tech Slots.
The phrasing establishes standing force as a discrete, countable resource in the warlord game — a team's assembled army, distinct from the slot-limited hardware categories like Mechanized Armor. Both are moot within seconds: Commander Stockade's death dissolves the sortion entirely and passes whatever remains to The Madness under Voluntary Defeat.
Role
The army-size resource that cheating penalties directly reduce.
Relationships
Warlord Penalties — Reduced as the primary first-offense sanction.
The Democratic Sortion — Lost a quarter of its force to the ruling.
Tech Slots — The companion resource stripped in the same penalty.
