Source Ultimate Campaign pg. 237
Since an army’s strength is represented by an ACR score, the GM can balance armies against each other using the guidelines for CR on page 398 of the Core Rulebook. For example, two ACR 9 armies should make for a relatively even battle, but so would an ACR 9 army against three ACR 6 armies. This applies mostly to typical humanoid armies, as monsters with powerful abilities might be significantly more formidable.
