This also means you might have to disband armies when your wars are over, to reduce the upkeep cost.

Or at least put them at 50% maintenance.

You do not need full morale if you are simply "at war" fighting normal troops. You need more troops.

I might start a new thread on this point.

I never lowered my maintenance until I did my morale FAQ and now I often leave it at the lowest point. A real eye opener when you look at the savings vs the loss of morale.

One time I was Sweden and lended out 10000 to a lot of countries and then got 1000/year in interest, and after a couple of years I had much higher technolohy lever then other countries.;)

A well known exploit!
