. If you're using console commands its fine nobody really cares, but when you flagrantly do it and deny it, its kind of sad
I never care about most numbers in the bar above without the money, so I didnt notice that the manpower of Prussia is so high. If I would have been manipulate this number I would have corrected that before posting that picture. In all my prussian games lack of manpower was never ever problem!
.Also why are you even asking for advice
I needed some tactical tips but not from pea counters;)

It is hard to take this seriously. If you don't care about most of the numbers other than the money then you don't understand the most important resource of EU4, that being monarch points. The manpower of Prussia is never that high, in fact even if you conquered the whole globe you wouldn't have had that manpower pool. I think the odds are you forgot and just posted without thinking. Saying things like "Lack of manpower with Prussia was never ever a problem" only further enforces that you are probably spamming console commands. You can see from your start date that you barely have any man power. Under normal circumstances, as practically all players know, you would lose your entire manpower pool after a max of 3-4 hard fought battles. Even ottomans can eventually run out of manpower.

Here is a tactical tip, if you want people to be convinced that you don't use console commands then don't post screenshots where you clearly used console commands. Also don't deny using console commands two posts after confirming that you did in fact use console commands.

I'm done here, laters bruh good luck beating Poland. You don't need it though as no doubt you can keep suiciding one stack in after another and still win by wearing down their mapower pool, given that "Prussian" superhuman and clearly legit manpower pool.

Just show a screenshot with the mouse hovering the manpower pool. We should see reasons here.
eu4_18.pngand now? I have no idea why I got such high manpower and again its not at all necessary. Prussia has 2 big armies which could supported without financial problems but no more!

We are happy to help you, and we also said what you could do: just attack, you can't lose this. But it is just impossible to have such a high manpower on normal ways. The only possibility of reaching such a manpower is through the console. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but 23.785K is unbelievable high and its just impossible to have such a high manpower. It even says in the ledger that the max manpower is 70k, you have more than 300 times that. The reason it is called MAX manpower, is that it will stop recovering on the normal way. The only way to go over the maximum is through events or estates (which only increase it with maybe 10%).

In the beginning I also played with console commands a lot, but I would recommend playing without it. The satisfaction of knowing you reached your target in a legit way, makes the game a lot more fun for me personally.

Ok, so your maximum is 70k, not 20000k. Only two possibilities: big bug or console.
When you recruit an army, does it remove 1k or 1000k? If the latter, might be a bug and you actually have 20k manpower. If not...

I agree with the exception of removing the fow what I do constantly and yes the beginning for most nations is a little bit boring still one reaches an exceptable income. But that discussion is so old and using the console is not illegal.
have such a high manpower on normal ways
I know it too but for I dont drink (alcohol) during playing I had not had a blackout. And now I will finish this "discussion" for qui s'excuse s'accuse.
