First, I'd like to thank the devs for such a great update! I'm loving all of the changes so far and I'm excited to see what else this game will do in the future!
I have a question about determining levy composition. I started as Athens and noticed that I can raise 4 levies from my each of my 2 governorships (1HI, 2LI, 1A). After some digging around I found a tooltip for Athenian culture that tells me that my levies will consist of a maximum of 10% archers, 40% heavy infantry, and 50% light infantry (these numbers are from memory and could be off). It also shows what sorts of pops can contribute to these levies, which I think is a great touch.
I'm wondering if there's a way to see which specific pops contribute to my levies. I can see it down to the province level when I look at levy subunits when raised, but does it go deeper than that like in Vicky? Is a size 500 cohorts tied specifically to one pop or is it just generally pulled from a province based on pop ratio? I'd like to know what resources I'm going to miss out on once I raise my levies to determine which ones I want and which ones I don't. I can live without this; I mostly want to know if this is possible or if I'm just living dangerously when I go to war.
I'd also like to point out that the army maintenance slider on the economy tab provides +7.5% levy size on each level instead of presumably scaling up the more money you spend. The dev diary on levies says the economy slider can be used to modify levy size, so I think the feature is bugged. It could also be unlocked through an invention I haven't found yet, or some law, so forgive me if I've missed it!
Overall, I'm loving this update though! I can't wait to sink hundreds of hours into it.
