I'm just trying to think of a way to make Machakan province defense not become an actual liability, to the detriment of the nation. There are only a few ways to make a pile of Militia useful--it seems the most elegant way to do so is to give them a caster. It's more fitting than a priest to start, or even bumping up to a better noncaster commander.

Either way, a Voice at 20 PD would do a lot of good. You might even stop routing when your first javelin barrage kills 30 of your own militia.
