It could just be that the game was a little buggy back when the video was made. After all it still isn't finished.

That goes for anything odd looking in the videos. If it's out of place and weird it might just be a glitch of placeholder. Don't read too much into things like that.

Since Empire is meant to be more moddable than previous games I imagine we should have no problem messing with the values for the militia units. If we want to make the game really hard we can set an empty city to spawn 20 units of the best militia.

It's the sort of thing perfect for realism and difficulty mods.
