MIL tech no longer increase manpower, WAD?

[TheDecider]

It appears military technology no longer increase manpower in 'Common Sense' from my observations, as it did earlier, since this was not mentioned in the patch notes I'm unsure whether it can be classified as a bug or stealth nerf.

Thoughts?

did mil tech ever changed it? some buildings did it and some ideas too, but the tech itself has nothing to do with it, i think.

No, it did. You got +10% manpower per miltech level. Load up a game in 1.11.4 and hover over a province's manpower in the province view.

I was wondering why manpower seemed off...

 

[Dnote]

10%? Really?

That's a huge amount that is lost with the update then.

Yeah, kinda makes big but poor countries nearly impossible to survive in the first 200 years.

1 close battle for my BRA is like half my manpower.

1 OPM with a fort as TO is all my manpower

Well, no wonder I thought all those claims that provinces are to Adm-expensive exaggerated. If you have to wait 10 years for you pool to replenish you´ll have enough Adm for coring.

Well, once you have admin ideas merc become affordable and this is less of a problem. Building the first mil building also gives like 500 manpower in a lot of your provinces, which for 90 ducats only is well worth building.

I did the old PU Bohemia trick (and didn't fight a single battle, thanks austria, poland and hungary) and used them to beat up all my enemies till I got strong enough to actually engage a 6k stack without losing a lot of manpower.
