is there any way to bouuild many regiments by one click?
for example to build 4 million troops in the normal way XenomorphII should have clicked the buttons 4,000 times, not to mention switching provinces and organizing them into armies

 

[XenomorphII]

I clicked for each regiment but didn't have to move them to organize them, because I had lots of places that could turn out hundreds of units in a single day (for example in Brandenburg I could select 50 different regiments to build, then the next day they would be done and marched off).

I had 750,000 men as the Eastern Roman Empire in one game. I managed to conquer all of the original roman empire plus a few other things, but the last 20 years was a mad dash, trying to capture enough german provinces as well as all of England and a large part of Spain.

 

[Alerias]

The most Ive had was 2 million, in a Russian WC game, where I wanted to maintain an unusually large army, and had taken the according Ideas.

My strategy was to overpower opponents with huge waves. It was pretty fun, I remember at one point declaring war on an large Indian empire and moving almost fifty different unit stacks - bout a million soldiers - to siege almost all their provinces simultaneously. Had a 99% in about 6 months

Mind you I could have built more - I was rolling in wealth despite the maintenance costs - but I didnt see the point of going above my immense Forcelimits by that point, I suppose.

Edit: Cool! I found this pic I had kept of my final armies. I notice I could have built quite a bit more while staying within forcelimits, too. Theres something to be said for controlling the world

Although it's not the two largest armies I've seen, it's the largest 'meeting' between two AI armies, without any interference from me. The siege and battle has been going on for so long that for the moment almost all of the West Geatish and Scanian armies have assembled in that single bottleneck.

edit: notice the original size of the armies

My largest army ever was a Germany game with WWM where I ended up with about 4 million troops.

wow dude did you just steamroll europe with that or sumtin with that many men i wouldt even bother using strategy just mass wave attcks :rofl:

210k as spain in the 1600s sitting in pairs

 

[Grayson]

Its about 1790 as Spain, and I have 508 regiments with close to that number of men. But, it really is necessary (at least for my playing style) to fan out over my land to guard from attacks or rebel uprisings in 550 provinces. Most are actually in Asia, not Spain or the Americas, making me pretty defenseless in those areas.

 

[Mattabesta]

I keep my army organised into divisions of 20-30k so no army has evr been larger than say 90k but the largest combined one was about half a mil.

 

[unmerged(10422)]

Probably no more than 150,000, since I never really do the whole WC thing, and I usually try to trim the fat off my expenses even when I don't need to.

 

[delra]

I went over a million a few times (as Poland for example when Ming started knocking to my door from east, as Russia (obvious reasons), as ERE (also obvious), as Ottomans (after I got Italy, Austria and Egypt) and as France (easy)) but I usually try to not expand so much. Staying medium-sized makes for much more pleasurable games.

I'd be pretty pissed if I was the guy losing all those regiments :rofl:

BTW that mod looks amazing, it's the one in your sig, right?

How could you do this?

This is just the AI being Silly
Btw Lithuania Lost the battle but won the war as burgundy did have all of their army in this stack.

 

[cocodtim]

My largest army was about 700K i think in a game as Germany

Hello, I'm just wondering what the biggest army you've ever created was?
At the moment I am playing as Castille with a total land army size of 83,000 (individual soldiers, not regiments ), with more soldiers coming by the year.

4,5 million in eu2
Since everything was researched by 1750(?), i kept on building manufacturies and those wunderbar conscription centers. Pretty soon the world was covered in those, each granting an extra 5k.

Napoleonic France had to face 4 naval invasions of 150K each And the french were several techlevels below too... so ultimately they got vassalised.

And i dont even think the empire was terribly much beyond the historical... well... china had been diploannexed after a manchu orthodox switch, and constantinopel was russian too, with land connection. (oh the wunderbar strategy of seizing the city BEFORE the turks.. as a novgorod who took on both GH & Lit way too early )

 

[Kamchat]

My biggest army is about 400k being Austria. Was originally 600k, but a war with Prussia - he owned the TO but also all the GO, Zapophreia, OE and a part of India - devastated them.

 

[ve3609]

my army right now is about 700k. I'm expanding it to 1 million as we speak. but that's not even the limit. I can get an extra 200 regiments if I wanted

To all the guys with more than 500.000 men... In what state was your nation? Inflation with 30% and rebellious provinces all over the place? I find those numbers pretty "problematic" in the way of "is everything else in your nation still working fine"?.

I`m playing England right now and everything is going fine (I`m not only talking about expansion of an empire). I have an yearly income of about 300 ducats and from my point of view you can only afford about 70.000 men on a regular basis if you want to keep everything in shape.

my russian game not going over the bblimit i had about 700k troops. 0% inflation, not really that many revolts and a yearly surplus of over 2k with no minting.
