Manpower

[Tufto]

There is probably somewhere I can find the answer to this, but I do not know where so I'll ask it here.

I recently started my first game after working out how to play as the Ottomans. A very bad choice, I know, but what I want to know is this: how do I change my manpower to a positive number without going to war?

Increase your defense spending and turn more POPs into soldiers.

You increase defense spending. That will give you monthly leadership and manpower!

Hmm. Well, my budget is rather stretched at the moment, but that is probably because I am the Ottomans. Thanks.

It's even faster than the EUIII one, so it seems.

By the way, can anyone suggest a decent starting nation that is relatively powerful?

I usually recommend Sweden. It's a medium sized country with good potential for a bit of everything. High literacy from the start, some good resources and some decent factories. No immediate threats from neighbours, but can choose to get involved in wars later. Great potential for colonisation.

Thanks.

For some reason I always have a lot of trouble with sweden. I'm not sure why but I think I rush into things a little bit as them...
