Further, due to the brutal training they went through, Unsullied themselves will logically be extremely brutal, especially towards civilians – much like ancient Spartans were.

They will thus be incapable of adapting to changing circumstances of battlefield. Even ignoring this, Unsullied are – due to their Spartan-inspired training – tactically inflexible and likely illiterate, the exact opposite of mercenaries of the Golden Company. Thus, unless she manages to essentially retrain them on the way to Westeros, Unsullied will be significantly inferior to Golden Company’s pikemen even in individual quality. They are however trained with spear, shield and shortsword.ĭaenerys had been using Unsullied as guards and police force for much of her stay in Meereen. Unsullied would number 8 000 trained and 5 000 untrained troops, thus clearly being counterparts of Golden Company’s pikemen. Their discipline will also mean that they may treat civilians better than average Westerosi soldier would.ĭaenerys’ core force will be Unsullied, sellswords and Dothraki.

They are mercenaries, who want to win with least casualties, and can thus be assumed to be disciplined and tactically innovative.

This includes 1 000 heavy cavalry, 1 000 archers, 8 000 pikemen and 24 elephants. It will include only conventional forces that both will have – thus, no dragons and no magic.Īegon is certain to have Golden Company as his core force. This post will focus on a war between Aegon and Daenerys.
