Am I the only one who actually likes militia and slingers for specific purposes? They seem the best deal to me whenever I only need fodder, and more specifically, some troops for sieges. Slingers in particular can be raised in most provinces very quickly, and they are as good as any other kind of infantry for this purpose.

Archers - which seem overpriced to me, considering their effectiveness - are about the same price as slingers, and vastly superior in every way. Militia with shields or LI are much more effective per unit gold as a meat shield / fodder than spear-only militia... do you ever buy unshielded militia?
I might run a little simulation to demonstrate how utterly crappy unshielded unts are. I'll post the results soon =)
