1.33 Can't support colonial independence war

[Yhekal]

Hey all!

Any idea what's that huge malus "army strength: -336" ? I have the biggest standing army in the world.
As you can see, Spanish Brazil allied three other colonial nations. I don't get it...

Edit: I have Economic Hegemony, but I don't see how this would matter here.

It might be that your army is too big and overflows the calculation. You could make a copy of your save, load that copy and greatly reduce your army and force limit. Does that make the value positive? (small changes will probably just make it more negative)

Put in in the bug section with a save.

OK, I'll post it in the bug report section.

What I've learned.

1. Mass deleting armies helped indeed.

2. Can't replicate this bug/malus. My standing army size have not changed between two attached saves - 680k.

3. What happened in between?
- Revolutionary event that gave colonial nations extra liberty desire boost (I doubt it had any impact). It's gone now, since I killed Revolution in France. A sad side effect I was not aware of...
- I enacted 'The pentarchy' event and broke the HRE. Spain become the Emperor of Orthdox HRE with 1 catholic elector. I also doubt this have any impact, but Spain does have 850k land army limit size now.
