We know that Vic2’s military system is extremely rudimentary. All countries can carry out large-scale mobilization while having a standing army. All countries can obtain a well-trained army in an instant. In history, after the Napoleonic era, only The Prussian conscription system can achieve this effect.
To make matters worse, under the POP system of VIC2, the soldiers are ambiguous. The standing army of each country needs to be established and supplemented by soldiers. Don't soldiers exist because of the establishment of the army? Can soldiers exist without the army? Soldiers in VIC2 are not soldiers, they are more like knights and samurai in the feudal era...
Obviously, VIC3 must change this. Historically, Prussia was able to assemble a large number of troops in a short time. This is the benefit of the conscription system. Austria and France can only rely on their small standing army to fight, which is one of the reasons for their failure.
However, we do not see this in VIC2. The military system of all countries is the same, and a country with a large population can always defeat everyone.
A hypothesis~
In the game, the recruitment system owned by France allows to maintain an elite but expensive and relatively small army, which is used in most countries.
In contrast, Prussia has a unique system. The quality of their army is average (they will be discharged after only two years of training) and the number is not dominant. However, when the war begins, they can quickly assemble the reserve into one. A huge army.
But not everyone likes to join the army, which will reduce the stability and support rate of the Prussian regime and force the empire to adopt an expansionary policy.
This will increase the playability of the game!
