It's too easy to acquire them now, the map gets too crowded. And tbh EU4 isn't particularly well-designed to micro 1,000k+ army fighting in different continents simultaneously. There's also no point caring about attrition or inflicting casualties to the AI other than buying time to siege down forts before they come back again due to unlimited manpower past mid-game. No one ever runs out of fuel (both money and manpower), it's just a matter of sieging down forts to earn war score. I suggest significantly increasing the cost 'slacken recruiting standards' and toning down every manpower and force limit related numbers to something like 80%. It'll make the late game much more playable without changing things too much.
