How do I put Smallfolk/Militia when game starts in a new map?

Guys, I'm building an incredible fantasy map, but when I try the map every city starts with 0 militia instead of, say, 9 if there are 9 reinforcement there.

Why?

Thank you!!!

Did you set them as secondary defence? They will not appear if they are not set to that.

They will also not appear if the unit is limited to certain cities or is marked not buildable.
