Foreign Legions

[KINGBEN]

Will it be possible to recruit from abroad, and if so will your manpower pool be reduced. The same thing applies for the Royal Navy later on in the game when the Dominions are near enough independent nations, the Navy also recruited from them, if this is moddeled in the game how so.
An interesting note, The Royal Navy still accepts people from the Rep. of Ire and Commonwealth Countries, though they can't serve in submarines or achieve certain ranks, especially the Irish.

There was a thread about this before, but I don't know that we ever heard how it would be handled. But yeah, I'd be sad if I didn't see Irish Brigades in the ACW (and French and Spanish armies, and San Patricios in Mexico).

Could you imagine an Irish rebbelion and millions of Irish in America packing up there bags, bringing along a gun and popping back over to the Emerald Eye to shoot some Redcoats.

This is misleading. The Irish are given the same status as commonwealth countries. They are not "picked on". As an independent nation in Europe, Ireland should have the same status as the rest of EU but they are allowed to enter the British Army if they wish whereas a Dutchman could not.

Anyway, Anglo-Irish familes have always served with distinction in the British Army / Navy e.g. Wellington

Wellington was not Irish. He was born in Ireland. But as he himself said "is a man born in a stable a horse?"

Well, if his parents were Irish (don't know), he was Irish too, if he wants it or not...

I think his parents were English who owned land in Ireland, which is how he happened to be born there.

What happens to disbanded divisions?

Will they become farmers, craftsmen, etc... again?
