In my opinion, militia are best used to meat shield. If there is a large enemy stack moving towards you, you could produce a few militia. Once the enemy stack reaches the militia, they will stop to attack them. This is where you send your rockets. Or, if you need to stall an enemy stack from advancing so your reinforcements can defend a strategic point, militia can block them for a few precious hours.
Militia are better than other cheap units like AT at meat shielding, because of their enormous hills/forests buff. They're also cheaper, require only a simple barracks to build, and more versatile. Of course it's stupid to mass-produce militia. But it's stupid to mass-produce any given unit. If you're smart, you will naturally understand the best ways to use a troop. If you're not, you complain about it while you do your best to dodge solutions.
