The troops from province defense tend to be of extremely poor quality, and their only advantage is that they will reappear if the battle is won. It's not really a problem at all, as the only real use for a province defense force is to catch sneaking units, and to prevent your provinces from being taken over by call of the winds type spells.

They are, however, cheap militia. Moreover, you need to spend at least 190 gold to get it up to a decent level (20). The only thing they're good at is catching an odd spy/assassin or killing off a bunch of Atlantian/Caelian raiders. Any decent force will totally smash them (unless you contribute regular troops to province defense, of course).

EDIT: Damn, too late

they might be "cheap" defense, but you can hire alot of it in one turn.

They really aren't cheap at all. Beyond level 10 or so it starts to become extremely expensive for what you get out of it.

WOW how much defense are you putting in that you think this is out of balance? If its an important province I set it to about 11. Mostly its 1-6. Surely if a province of 4000 people has their local defense militia killed off they should be able to round up another 6 guys right away to replace them.
