As someone who lives in Flanders I really appreciate this mod. Note that the Flanders militia would be generally better than most Western-Europe militia but that knights etc... would be scarce and of lesser quality. Howver they make this up with their anticavalry and antiarmour units (Goedendag, Badelaar.)
