Default Re: Militia Vs. Militia

The idea here is that you're stuck with militia, you can't get rid of them except by killing them off in inefficient ways, so the hope is that we can come up with ways to harness them, rather than ignoring/throwing away a Luck event.

"Sunk costs". If there were a "disband" command I would use it on militia every time I get them, unless there were a castle right next door that I needed to knock down or I were already throwing around Darkness/Army of Gold/etc. Shuttling chaff to the front so it can rout and be scattered to surrounding provinces is just not worth it.
