I am continuing my Inca game and have reached 1645 with some help from jez9999, Serzis and cuendillar. I am very close to equal in tech levels to the European invaders and can swat any single attacker or coalition. England gives me trouble as her navy is just massive. Everyone else I can repel many naval invasions and crush land forces that make it through. My problems come when three or more coalitions come at me. In my current war a Prussian led coalition (England, Holland being her main allies), an Aragon led coalition with Castile, Milan, Genoa, Navarra and 4 or 5 other countries, and a Norway led group (Scotland, Denmark, Burgundy, Portugal and more) all attacked me. I have peaced out with the Aragon and Prussian groups. I currently have 45 large ships, 42 regiments and a 120,000 manpower ceiling. I have the finances and manpower to easily support many more regiments except they get so expensive above the land force limit, currently at 39. I own all the Pacific coast from Panama to Arica (England owns both those) and all the inland provinces up to and including Barina. I have no Caribbean coastal provinces. I own all of inland Argentina and southern Brazil but the coast is owned by different European powers. My problem is with so large a country I can't move my troops around fast enough to deal with the multiple invasions. It would really be helpful to have another 20 regiments or so. Would the best way to get those regiments be;
1. Choose the Grand Army National Idea to raise the land force limit
2. Ignore the force limit, buy them anyway and just pay the price
3. Stop building naval and land building and switch over to buildings that increase my Tax to raise my Land Force Limit, I actually don't know if building things like workshops that raise Tax also increase the Land Force Limit or it only counts original base tax
Thanks
