<t> I think it could a property of the capital that it can convert civilian pop to 'militia' when needed. This could apply to regional capitals as well. If attacker kills all defender's troops, civs will be removed and added as weaker militia troops. Not all of them, but up to some reasonable ...

<t> This is my first post here, so I think I can offer a little objectivity. As for your specific concerns:<br/>
