Re: Religious zealots joining the cause
Volunteers still needs basic equipment, food, shelter, ....
I still think volunteers been expensive, annoying and useless is quite realistic. But undisbandable is strange. In fact, I really like my disband->unrest idea

That's sort of reflected in their "supply" cost. As for equipment, they seem to come with that. |

Re: Religious zealots joining the cause
No, the supply is just like resources: It's how much food the province can produce, but you still have to buy it  And for the equipment, even if the volunteers originally buys their own, it needs to be maintained.
OK, I'll shut up now

Re: Religious zealots joining the cause
Maintenance? Ermor doesn't even maintain the equipment on its own troops. Why would it bother to maintain the equipment on a bunch of slackers? Just let 'em get all rusty like everyone else.

You're acting as though the sudden presence of several more troops has a detrimental effect on your chance of success. This idea is asinine, since their upkeep is miniscule at best. |

I also agree the militia which join for free are a big pain. They suck up gold and food supplies plus they run away so easily during combat. I've had important units get diseased because they popped into a territory wasting food supplies.

Re: Religious zealots joining the cause
It sounds like there is are enough votes for saying that the volunteers are not a "good event".
It also sounds like there are enough for it not being totally evil.
So I guess volunteer troops should be considered a neutral event which will occur purely on the basis of the order/chaos scales.
