How big are the armies?


Recommended Posts

I'm aware that consistence in army size isn't this show's strong suit (anyone remember the Karstark troops making up half of the Northern army back in season four?), but I would none the less like to discuss the size if the opposing forces in the upcoming battle.

The army of the dead: Jon said in season four that Mance's army contained 100,000 troops. Assume all those are now in the army of the dead, and add some wildling elderly and childen that weren't in Mance's army, plus some Night's Watch and whatever they picked up at the Last Hearth, the total number might be at around 120,000

The army of the living: There were 8000 Unsullied to begin with, maybe 2000-3000 have been killed in the battles thus far. 40,000 Dothraki in Essos, maybe 10,000 are gone by now. Jon hoped to have 10,000 Northern soldiers ready for the battle (unsure if this included the 2000 Knights of the Vale). That would put the total number at roughly 45,000, the majority of which as Dothraki (although they are conspicuously absent from most of the preparation scenes in WF).

What do you think?
