How do maximize combat stats...

[21oliver]

I never spent a ton of time delving into it but now im looking for different things to do and focus on and can use some suggestions. What are all the different ways to improve the combat effectiveness of a unit?


Politicians, Generals, training/laws, combat experience, strategic modifiers, techs/doctrines, unit builds...

Am i missing anything? Is there a cap? When shooting for the highest you would want what? A combined arms unit built with specialized training and the highest general you can find?

I forget what was the deal about building units on minimal and mobilizing with a higher training law?

It appears there is no way to change the laws in cgm so your stuck with whatever the nation has when you build correct? Anyway around this?

Answer to the last question - mod the \history\countries\desired_country file.
Be aware, that having maximum CA bonus is not great in of itself. 25% of 20 is less than 15% of 35.

well with generals with Combined arms trait and higher levels you can get extremely efficient army.. from Divisional level-corps level-army level-army group level and last but not least Theater level you can put
combined arms generals which will make your frontline troops fight with 49% i think combined arms bonus, couple this with ministers, laws, and common sense(fight inf only in inf territory, in mountain areas use
mountain units or when attacking/defending river provinces engineers needed etc)..

I didnt think about modding it, but to me that would be cheating because i wouldnt be paying for the additional experience. It would be nice if we could change our laws in CGM as well.
