Actually, do think about this for a moment - your military annexes another nation.
Then you take those people, give them guns, train them, and bring them to your homeland ?
Well, you should be able to do that, but be ready to face the consequences of them turning their guns on you instead...

Sure you can. Annex some uncivilized countries and let their manpower fuel your military.
I had a standing army of 120 divisions as Finland using that trick.
But not supposed to be that easy with 1.01, since annexed soldiers are converted to labourers.
So convert them back. Converting them to labourers is just to help the player cut down on a bit of micromanagement, since you typically did it by hand anyway, unless you needed the extra soldier POPs... Which is occasionally the case. One of my favourites is Germany in 1914. You start desperately short on soldier POPs....
....But you control a single Chinese province with ~4,000,000 inhabitants. They've gone to soldiers everyone....
AFAIK it is being looked at

If you could just take those troops from far away and use them to guard your homefront, what is the importance of their home location? Aren't units tied to a home province?
I was thinking it would affect what terrain they're good at fighting in, and that they wouldn't want to fight far away from home?
p.s. post #100

This is why the opium wars will be so much fun!
Playing Sweden, having a great economy and wellfare state to be proud of. I even have build trading posts and a fortress north of south africa.
anyway have some questions, i have like a kazillion factories but all of them is running at 1/5 and so on. Come on i've got 6million people.
And can i have research more than one tech at the same time?
Last , Russia has trading posts at the same provinces that i do. But i got the soldiers. Can i kick them out somehow? the claim is greyed

OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!
You don't seem to have the right pops. Upgrade your farmers and labourers to craftsmen or clerks.
The the other question: quess why there's an option "colonial war"?
Even if you upgrade almost all farmers you will be short on pops to fuel the industry at any large level.
Not in the begining but later.
As Grosshaus says, upgrade your labourers/farmers to craftmen and clerks and fill the factories that will bring in the most money first. You can close the other factories to stop the ai auto-sending workers to them until you're ready to re-open them.
Research - No you can't research more than one tech at once.
Colonisation - declare a colonial war! Once every province in the state is colonised by at least someone, and you own them all or own one of each type (ie trading post, mission, fort, coaling station) then you can claim the state.
Is the ethnicity of the troops of any importance? As the US, I built Cherokee troops, and they seemed to fight as good as the Yanks and Dicks.
