Ok, the soldiers would seem to grow in numbers then, in the case where you invest larger sums into military spending.
Automatic promotion sounds good, but how to then control things?
What if i wanna play Tsar of Russia and do this thing historically. Could there be royal decree decisions for absolute monarchies ?
So that I can make a decision when war is coming (either nationwise or provincial), to make officers go to the peasants and say, "You and you and yes you too! go to the recruitment office immidiately, you are now drafted for the next 20 years."
Then perhaps get a higher militancy and pay cost to the nobles who own these serfs, but increasing the factors significantly upon which farmers are promoted to soldiers.
This happened you know in Tsarist Russia. Would be fun if it could be historical with these old school systems, as long as there is no reform that you made to liberalize your Russia. Then such an option could simply dissapear.
IRL during these events the Russians held memorial ceremony for their men who went to the army already as they left the village, for they knew they were not likely coming back. It was clearly not a volunteer thing over there
