This is why our lord and savior Stalin gave us Human wave tactics.

Edit: Honestly though, would that work? Does conscription prioritize unemployed POP's that could be sent on "pointless" wars in the middle of Malaria-ville?

Not really. Even in worst case scenario, you'll end up losing a couple of hundreds of thousands, while your pop growth from just SoL will be several times that yearly.

I'm playing a fully liberal Russia. In 1906 I have around 250 million population, with 30 million of those in Africa roughly. I expect to surpass China by game end.


It actually worked for me once in a colonial war as Germany aigainst USA.

USA Had mobilised Like two Million troops Oversee and because of raiding Had 100% attrition.

So for the two years of the war (took so Long as i was fighting already Russia in a previous war) the casualties were equal tò the yearly growth. But as Said, It worked because of two Millions mobilised at 100% attrition.

while your pop growth from just SoL will be several times that yearly.

Yeah.

To kill enough soldiers to impact POP growth for large countries, you need to be losing/inflicting 2-3 million casualties a year.
