Mod for Disabling "Free" Troop Events?

3 gold is probably pretty well balanced. One would actually consider buying them. Can Man recruit them for 2 gold in your mod then?

Nope. Unfortunately, Militia is Militia, Monster number 30, and the same one is recruited by Man and by Independants, with the same gold cost. However, I don't see a good reason for Man to get 2g militia anyway. Maybe Tien Chi, 2g militia with a sickle, straw hat, and very low stats. Finding gazillions of peasants and tossing them into armed conflicts unpaid is happening even now in Asia...

But if Im not mistaken, in the base game, Man recruits militia for 7 gold instead of 8. Or maybe I was just hallucinating.

There are 3 kinds of militia. Illwinter names them all the same, but I gave them unique names to ease the confusion. In the combat sim:

In the infantry mod, I named them militia, trained militia, and medium militia. The kind you get for Pythium province defense, or free militia events, or in Man's national recruitment roster, is the first one (also the worst) which costs 7 gold. You can recruit all 3 kinds in indy provinces, but the 8 gold one is possibly more common than the others.

Hmm, I guess I should just keep my mouth shut and quit showing off my n00bitude I just thought man could recruit them cheaper, simply because national troops are supposed to be better than indy troops. Why would you ever recruit a militia out of your capital as Man, then? Of course, in the base game, why would you ever recruit one, period?

Exactly The only reason to recruit them in the base game is if you suddenly become an AI. Shouldn't happen if you keep below the maximum safe daily silicon intake...
