Been playing 2.4.3 and had a war to wipe out the Zunists and ran into their homeland penalty. My horde wasn't destroyed, but was reduced by about 2-3k soldiers. Eleven years later my army still hasn't recovered to its full strength. Reinforcing at maximum speed, I have my marshal set to "train troops" with a supposed +34.5% increase to manpower growth, and yet I'm reinforcing +6 soldiers a month.

When your horde stretches from the Tigris to the Indus, I'd expect your armies to reinforce a bit quicker than this. :\

Manpower is recovered as a percentage to how much manpower you are missing. Your used manpower and your available manpower, cannot go above your total manpower when combined. So if you recruit more troops than you can support, they will stop reinforcing, and your manpower pool will stop refilling as well. So check on those values to see if you have a proper manpower growth or not (hoover over your manpower value to see all the information).

If it doesn't make sense, attach a save game and I can look at it.
