    A council would indeed not work, but i hope that some clans grow in such sizes that they establish High Commands which will work together. At least by organizing nice events where certain rules are set, i think that is realistic...worked just fine in Battlegrounds 2

    In North and South, there is a full army (The Union Army) with 1.000 active players, organised in 4 Divisions, with 2 brigades each division, with 3-8 regiments per Brigade...
    Each Division/Brigade has a commander and a staff.

    When its working out in NaS, it will work out in War of Rights too

    I'll take you up on that I am really excited about how the community will evolve and i think that WoR provides a good platform to create good and player friendly structures

    I, Porter W. Horace, Brigadier General, Commanding Officer of 2nd "Eagle" Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Corps, Union Army, can tell you that if you remove the ability to be a full regiment then the UA will fall apart in WoR. If you used a Company level idea then firstly our Brigades would no longer exist, then with no Brigades there can be no Divisions etc. I know why you want t remove Regiment locking but Regiments are a key part to the Union Army.

    I, TrustyJam of Campfire Games can tell you that I don't really see an issue here. :P Now, until we've actually announced something I won't go too much into detail, but I fail to see the problem with a more authentic naming system in regards to the playercounts likely to be supported and supported in other games and mods.

    I like the more authentic idea but as I'm the only proper active member of the UA in this forum I feel it is my duty to raise the issue on behalf of the UA.

    Thank you - it's been noted. We'll be open for your feedback once our system has been revealed.

    I have seen it work out in other games as well, I believe it could work wonders in this game with the direction the devs are going.

    Honestly accurately naming units as companies rather than regiments is better in my opinion. Its just shifting all organization down one level. Lets say a good sized active group of 30 men can be a company. Several companies that are willing to work together can be a regiment headed by a colonel. Several regiments willing to work together will be a brigade, and from a brigade to a division. Several divisions can be a corps.

    6th grade math time...

    30 x 4 = 120 (4 companies of around 30 men) 120ish men per regiment

    120 x 4 = 480 ( 4 regiments of around 120 men) 480ish men per brigade

    480 x 4 = 1920 ( 4 brigades of around 480 men) 1920ish men per division

    You can either stop there, or you can go up one more level to a corps.

    1920 x 3 = 5760 ( 3 divisions of around 1920 men) 5760 men per corps

    So, we are looking at around 6,000 men ( I say men, both genders are welcome XD ) per side. We can even move up one more level and hit the army which would reach the tens of thousands. This of course doesn't take into consideration server limitations, inactive players, general drama that often comes with varying communities, and other branches such as artillery and cavalry. This at least gives you a basic idea of how organization can work if individual players call the smalles scaled group a company rather than a regiment, how this organization fits historically and how this organization can easily reach up to thousands of people working as one cohesive unit.
