"To place any dependence on Militia, is, assuredly, resting upon a broken staff..."

-George Washington

Having Dalish and Gondorian Levymen spawning defending towns and villages alongside their professional brethren is a nice touch for detail and immersion, and provides a low-tier alternative unit for both factions. But since their addition, these militiamen have been augmenting the Invasions of their respective factions... this doesn't make too much sense. Historically, and indeed, in Tolkien's lore, militia and levies were mustered to defend their local homes in a pinch, not carry war abroad into contested areas at or beyond a nation's borders.

Gameplay wise, I also find that when using an invasion horn that I've saved up for with both money and alignment, it is a poor payoff when a bunch of poorly-equipped levies stream forth, representing factions that  both have more logical professional alternatives.
