Hey all, I've got a question. I'm currently in a game as Piedmonte-Sardinia and I can't seem to increase my population of soldiers, no matter what I do. I have the military maintenance slider cranked up to max but my population of soldiers hasn't gone past 0.8 percent for over a decade. I got in a rather nasty (but victorious) war with Switzerland the decade before which caused some havoc on my military class, but I'm inclined to think that's not the problem. Right now, my economy is somewhat booming and everyone in the lower class--- from farmers to laborers to craftsmen--- are having virtually all of their needs taken care of... except soldiers. They have everything but luxury needs completely filled. I'm not sure why this is happening, exactly, because soldiers are technically low class so they are benefiting as well from low taxes. I would gladly increase soldier pay if I COULD. I mean, I already have the slider cranked up all the way. What more can I do to attract soldiers short of national focus?
