Half Raised Levies

[kpaw]

Occasionally you will lose levy units, or your levy size will increase because of population changes.

As far as I can tell, the only way to get a levy back to full capacity is to dismiss and then raise it again. This is particularly a problem if a third party declares war on you while you are already engaged in another war. You can't dismiss the levy while at war, so you just have to fight the whole thing with reduced levies. Am I missing something or is this an oversight?

I think it could work well if the 'unit reorganization' toggle allowed levies to raise the remaining units over time. That seems to be a solution that makes sense without requiring any drastic changes to the basic levy system.

The only two options that I can think of are far from ideal. Either get the levy stackwhiped, or raise the spare cohorts as legions.

you actually can disband them with right click on the outliner

Yes, definitely not ideal!

Interesting, I will look at that.

If that really works while being at war, I consider it as buggy (because it contradicts the communicated rule of "No levy disbanding while at war"; also -if it should be really intended- why it should be only possible from this place of the UI and not in the levy tab?)

Yes I think it is indeed a bug. Although it comes in handy in situations like the above mentioned. I noticed only because I disbanded a levy instead of a mercenary army

Tried this, had to pay money to do so. I assume this is a bug that's meant to allow you to disband mercs in the UI
