in one hero, which multiplies the effectiveness
but yes, she has the sort of raw power associated with multiple regiments of Helguard using Dark Age Weapons, or multiple brigades using Imperial area weapons (that is hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guardsmen, all of whom are heroes)
And she can still technique be killed by the wildlife! I feel awful for most immigrants to Avernus.
 
I agree with Enjou because militia is simple and the fact we are either going to get attack in the next decade. I mean yeah it is possible it be in 15 but the order says it most likely be sooner than later.
We are not getting attacked in 10 years, the trust is, we ain't shipping our militia to the defense.

We can get plenty of militia training in after this turn. But why would it be useful? I know Valinor is coming, but how are they going to come into contact with our militia?
Do you plan on letting Valinor attack us, rather than take them out in the void, or attacking them pre-emptively? And if Valinor manage to make landfall, why do you think they'll make it past our walls?
There are far more ways this can go where our militia never get into combat, than where they do.
 
I can see two solutions to keeping Saint Lin safe. We can either keep him on Avernus, since we're the best at surviving an abomanation invasion. Or we can put him with the anti-ork force, so that we don't have to split our forces and can make the two enemies fight each other.
 
That's a guess, your assuming the crusade fleet has already arrived at Valinor.
No it's not they arrive in secret these turn. We had divine these and we know they plan to send everyone when the Trust is distracted to kill Saint Lin for favor from the Abomination.

Edit all we know is that in turn 100 we divine within the next decade Valinor expects a major crusade fleet to help them kill Saint line. Avernus will be a target.

I'm not sure why we should do Militia readiness training instead of regular readiness training since we aren't expecting to have any battles on Avernus in the near future, our regular forces are likely to go on campaign soon, and the militia training is much more expensive in both resources and production.

Valinor is going to attack Avernus ,when the orks attack, to kill Saint Lin. There will be fighting on Avernus when at least some of our armies will be away.

I'd say they probably have, they have the Abomination on their side.

An option to bring up at the meeting. But if you were Valinor - and we assume you're not a complete lobotomised imbecile - what would you do then? Might you attack the Trust regardless, hoping to do enough damage that the other enemies of the Trust then can destroy the Trust, killing Saint Lin?
Oh, right. Wow. Yeah, please don't do this Nurgle, ShadowNic94, Enjou.
The chance that we'll get attacked right at the end of this turn - even if the orcs are more likely to attack sooner than later - seems pretty low. Because there's at least 5 years until they attack, and at most 15, and ten years in between those two points. And there's nothing to suggest that Valinor will attack right as the Orks do, rather than waiting until they are sure that the Trust is well and truly in a long term war with the Orks.
So I think we can get some more readiness trainings in before that, and I'd much prefer applying them to our regular forces, reducing the chances of our militia getting into combat.

I mostly agree with you, but for the sake of those expecting a Valinor attack soon, you might want to explain why you don't expect that.

See, that's exactly what we should, and can, avoid. Especially since we're Divining on Valinor this turn.
Even we don't want to depend on our militia against a full chaos invasion. We have to have another plan to deal with Valinor than simply letting them hit us.

@Durin Will we be getting a chance to expand or fortify our orbital habitats soon or have you forgotten about them?
 
Militia readiness? Why? The militia hasn't been involved in military action in a while, what makes you think it'll happen now? Even if Valinor manages to make landfall, I don't see any reason they would be able to make it past our wall, if they can even make it to our walls. And all that's assuming we don't just attack them pre-emptively after next turn, in which case another round of readiness training for our regular troops is all the more useful.

The militia is always involved in the artillery fighting, at the very least.
 
I like to remind people that the 1 percent productivity lose is a possibility. The last time Rotbart did it he scored high enough that the lose of productivity did not happen. Surviving is also more important than the lose of 1 percent. We have survived because we have taken very threat extremely seriously, and the advance tech we found.

84% probability. Hye needs to roll 85+ to crit the action.

Also, I seriously doubt +5 made the margin between Dying and Not Dying. In fact most of it was Avernus proving un-exterminatus-able and fucking Garkill off.

They are not coming to destroy Avernus they are coming to kill Saint Lin. He is the only thing we have that can 100 percent resist Chaos, cure curses, and heal souls. I take keeping him safe because he is the last Saint of the Emperor of mankind.

Also I fully expect Valinor to know since we told the Blood Dragons. Those guys seem to be infiltrated.

Edit which is now a moot point since Enjou is going to change it.

So it's a question of which makes the greater difference. A shake-up, or militia training.
A shake-up would help our economy, which we do need to maintain through the coming wars, at least just to keep logistics afloat. And our economy is getting to a very dangerous place.
Militia training might help us, if Valinor attacks within the next 15 years (they might not, for reasons explained above), and if we don't attack them first, and if they manage to make landfall, and if they manage to get within the range of the artillery managed by our militia, then the Militia training will make a little difference. Readiness training needs to be stacked to really matter.
Shake-ups will help keep us further from the red in our ledgers, and from having to forgo important actions in the future because we didn't have enough resources.
Edit which is now a moot point since Enjou is going to change it.
Maybe, it didn't sound like a completely done thing. Depends what any others think.
But if he does, man, these plans are going to be pretty similar. What are we going to argue about then?
