I consider Militia turning up to fight for me to be a bad thing. Not only do the useless blighters make me pay for them but sometimes they turn up where my army is blowing its carefully calculated supply and causing horrible trouble. Like when I moved moved my starving veterans into a rear province to recover and the the militia turn up, eat the food, pocket your gold, and laugh at the poor diseased veterans. ^%@#!

In Dom1 I could use Militia for patroling and I still didn't like them. I sure do dislike them now. How about that event just improves the provinces defense rating significantly. That might even be useful sometimes and at least it will never be bad.

Sometimes you do get incredibly good events. Like the time I got 1000gps on the first turn with my crazy Niefelheim Ice Age race - would you like to wear that in MP? Then there was the time I got Chainmail of Deflection on the first turn and stuck it on the Prince of Death. So sometimes luck can be very good - lets not forget this in our hurry to rebalence. If you get one bandit camp every year playing luck/turmoil I wouldn't complain. Now that earthquake on the first turn I got the other day would have hurt if it had been MP.

cheers
