Militia units reinforcement

[Jorge_Stanbury]

What is the main driver of getting militia replacement or reinforcement?

is it the level of militancy + how strong is the faction?

also, does their attrition affects is any way? would I lose population because of militia needing reinforcements

if there is no effect, then it might be a good idea to use them as cannon fodder

My understanding is:
- the militia in a city gathers "Militia Manpower" and "Militia Equipment"* **
- if it has enough, a replacement subunit is spawned and send to the SHQ*
- the SHQ sends it out using normal reinforcement mechanics. The Militia is generally cost free to maintain, but their stuff still has to travel the logistics network

*Can be sidestepped by disbanding a unit, wich returns the subunits to the shq for distribution.
**If no replacements requested, will eventually result in new militia spawning.
