Not sure the cost, but it really can shaft Carrion Woods Pangaea as well as Ashen/SG Ermor. I've also gotten screwed by them showing up when I, as Vanheim, had gotten squeezed down to a mere handful of provinces in the mid-to-late game.
When 2 batches of militia showed up, my upkeep was now more than my income and gold stash combined, and units started deserting. Not the militia, of course not! No, my Vans and Valkyries that I needed started running off.
I've also had them show up and immediately start a province starving. So then, to add insult to injury, it's _diseased_ piece of trash militia that are demanding the gold. 
Your suggestion about lowering the upkeep would help - actually seems like they ought to be a free zero-cost upkeep, given that they're volunteers, fanatics, etc. Then they might actually seem like the "lucky" event they're supposed to be.

Re: Religious zealots joining the cause
I wonder how long it would take to get their upkeep down to an insignificant level by casting Fires from Afar (or similar) on your province where they are located?

Spending gems to kill your own units is never a position you want to be in. |
