Militia Battles

[Doug-Thompson]

Funny, I have never used militia calvary. I may try them someday...

Hussars are militia cavalry, but only available from huge towns. They're great, one of my new favorite units. Hungary and Poland get them.

Italian Cavalry Militia is very good for the price.

The rest of militia cavalry, unfortunately, is weak. Unlike Saracen Militia, which is a mighty fine spear infantry unit comparable to what you can get in a castle, Merchant Cavalry Milita is about one step up from a hobilar, IMO.

Greek and Eastern Merchant Cavalry are better. My main use for them so far is to kill the crews of catapults and ballistas that a besieging army often brings with them, and to harass enemy archers.
