Here are organisations of three evil creatures, all based on CR½ creatures:
HOBGOBLIN
band (10-100 plus 50% noncombatants plus 1 3rd-level sergeant per 20 adults and 1 leader of 4th-6th level)
ORC
band (30-100 plus 150% noncombatants plus
1 3rd-level sergeant per 10 adults, 5 5th-level lieutenants, and
3 7th-level captains)
KOBOLD
band (10-100 plus 100% noncombatants plus 1 3rd-level sergeant per 20 adults and 1 leader of 4th-6th level)
And now three goody-two-shoes, also CR½:
HALFLING
band (30-100 plus 100% noncombatants plus 1 3rd-level sergeant per 20 adults, 5 5th-level lieutenants, 3 7th-level captains, 6-10 dogs, and 2-5 riding dogs)
DWARF
clan (30-100 plus 30% noncombatants plus 1 3rd-level sergeant per 10 adults, 5 5th-level lieutenants, and 3 7th-level captains)
ELF
band (30-100 plus 20% noncombatants plus 1 3rd-level sergeant per 10 adults, 5 5th-level lieutenants, and 3 7th-level captains)
So as you can see, if we take armies of hundreds this is what happens:
Or, Elf and Dwarf draw the first place. They all have equal amount of everything, except maybe orcs win since the non-combatants could do something - possibly.
Halflings take the second place. They don't have so many sergeants, but they have extra fighting dogs.
Kobold and hobgoblin armies are the least intimidating since they have very, very little officers. Their armies would squashed by any above mentioned army. Hobgoblins and kobols have no fighting chance against halfling, not to even mention dwarves or elves.
But what about humans? How they would fit in to this since they have no given organisation?
