I had that same problem. I thought the notion of 'free' troops coming automatically at your turmoil would be quite good, so I created about 3-4 maenads, and the damn things came at about 20 per turn. While this was good against the first few indies, as soon as they're not dying, they cost so much upkeep and food that you can't build anything else, and in battle against serious oposition they really suck...Still, that's my fault for wanting to something for nothing
