True, the Oligarch/Sirion case it a bit special. But in other cases I know medium sized realms have no way of sieging a city in a semi-fair war. A 15k army these days can be considered a pretty good one, good luck sieging a city with that. So in that sense, I agree something should be done. I'd be willing to lose Oligarch for that :p
I like the idea of Militia being weaker or something, because they're not led by actual noblemen and therefore their organisation and spirit to keep fighting will be lower. The SE's I'm not so sure off though. Quantity is fine, if you want you can get 80 SE's in a single city in stock. Quality, I'm not sure yet tbh.
