COC Austrian Nerf? Why?

[TeutonicTortoise]

Its not exactly a massive nerf but Austria in my game in 1444 this patch now start with only 16k units and 13.5k manpower from previously about 40k units and sure they had 30k+ manpower.
Meaning if Austria wants to build up to their previous troop count not only have they got to wait for their manpower to get to that point but then at the point of reaching this unit count then then have 0 manpower.
So Austria just lost tens of years in manpower

I haven't played Austria myself, but you seem to be exaggerating a bit. Before any manpower recovery modifiers it takes 10 years to reach max manpower from 0, so it's probably not "tens" of years. AI Austria is doing just fine in my games, even better than in recent patches.

The answer is in all the other threads that asked the same exact question.

I think the problem is that the nations armies are generated based off starting development and etc but for Austria it takes into account the emperorship but in this version itts not processing this, meaning its just giving the numbers for a 165 development nation.

It was an intentional change. They readjusted a lot of the starting troop/manpower amounts. But yeah as Ulfing said, there are plenty of other threads you could search for which talk about this. Dev responses included!
