I'm sure about every player has figured out by now that militia is just about useless. But despite all of it's drawbacks, militia has one advantage: you can create it with just a level one barracks. I've decided to test in one of my games (2v2 Mediterranean map, Italy) whether or not this advantage makes militia worth building. I built a barracks in almost every province to produce militia, and am creating plenty of food. More powerful units will take priority in both construction and research, and militia will act as a meatsheild and give me overwhelming numbers on land (i already have command of the sea). In this incredibly dry thread, I'll post the results of major battles involving militia here for anybody who's interested.

I experimented with militia in the Med map too. If you are UK or France, attack through Spain and Vichy France(get RoW with them) and then start building as much militia as you can.
I used militia from time to time the disadvantage is their build time is 4 days on a lvl 1 barracks with no complex, but to heck with that it's for fun and satisfaction why you use them is such large numbers
Yeah, I just finished my first batch, and I was shocked to see just how many militia I had. Can't wait to get my troops into position. This is gonna be fun

I think I got around 20 before I ended the game they were in. That is my largest militia stack. They were some hungry boys though, better watch out for that GBH.
It's day 9 and nobody's gone inactive. That's got to be a record, right?
Manpower is getting to be a problem. I'm surprised, considering the amount of barracks I have.
Nope. I got to about day 16 on a 2v2 map. The reason the two dropped was because they were defeated.
Was it with random players?
Nope. I was with Kat, Vind and some other memorable person.
I just picked a random game and got lucky. Kat... is that Kalantigos?

Katheryn.
Kalantigos is Kal.
Considering you produce 3000 MP per day , you can only produce 2 militia per day and thats it , making this spam unsustainable, if it is ever effective, Seems like You have used most of initial 15-20k MP on militia
16 militia and your res is close to zero even red, yup definitely "worth it"
It might be be a waste of time, but I haven't seen how they will preform in battle. As for the oil, that has nothing to do with militia. That's my massive navy/air force! There will be a battle coming up soon. I'll post the casualties when it is over.
My army:
3 light tanks (level 2)
7 medium tanks (level 2)
6 infantry (level 3)
18 militia (level 1)
1 motorized infantry (level 1)
Enemy army:
5 light tanks (level 3)
1 medium tank (level 1)
2 AT (level 3)
1 AA (level 3)
1 infantry (level 4)
My units will receive air support.
On a side note... JACKPOT!
haha That is awesome. In one of my 10 player map games, Spain has all militia and almost no Infantry lol. 2vs2 are pretty quick so it makes sense to build militia. 
Good luck, you will probably win. The AA will do nothing and with all that militia you got there the AT will nothing as well.
Unsurprisingly, I won!
My army:
3 light tanks (level 2)
7 medium tanks (level 2)
5 infantry (level 3) lost 1
14 militia A.K.A. meat shield (level 1) lost 4
1 motorized infantry (level 1)
This game looks like it's going to be very long. Because of this, I might not continue this thread unless people show interest. I think BBB already established that militia works on the 2v2 map though.
Is the militia all you lost?
