Fire this event with the event command and the event ID army_professionalism_events.13.

What happens

Many military duties are not performed by the professional armies of the but rather by local militias based around the cities, castles and forts in the various parts of our country. These militias often know the local area well and provide very good value for money as garrisons, scouts and gatherers of intelligence but their quality as regular troops are very varied to say the least.\nIt has been suggested that we send professional soldiers to at least instruct all militias in the country and that we rely less on them when conducting operations in many areas. This would, according to our generals, lead to an increase in quality and make us less vulnerable to things we cannot control. It would, however, also most likely mean dismissing a great number of our reserve troops.

Player choices

When this event fires, Local Militias presents these options:

  • We need the militias.
  • Let us not rely on local abilities.
