How do the militia in a region fight if the lord of that region joins the rebellion? Do they join with their lord, or the realm?
I've been caught up in quite a few rebellions. I'm not sure how it works out in the provinces, but in the capital probably the majority of militia will fight for the loyalists no matter what. How the militia fights does seem to be influenced by how august the rebellion turns out to be however. In the battle report, the first thing that is done is that the rebels and loyalists are apportioned to each side and then the militia are assigned. What I recall is that Royals seem to have an affect there. If a Royal remains neutral or doesn't participate, it says something like 'Surprisingly, so and so joins the rebels/stays out of the battle'.
I think in every rebellion, the majority of the militia will always be loyalist. But Royals and certainly the Duke of the capital have a strong influence on turning a few militia units or having militia stand down rather than participate in the battle.
