What use are Conscription Centres?

[unmerged(30110)]

They only increase manpower hiring in that particular province right?
Why should I spend money on a conscription centre when I can just hire from different provinces and combine them?
I think the only uses are if you have few provinces or if you are at war and need an army quickly.

Yup.

Note that some countries can use these, OE, for example, has a few poor manpower provs, IIRC, and therefore a ConCtre can help. It is also very nice for those countries that war a lot.

I usually do not build many tho.

They also improve manpower gain from that province, and overall support level.

Whatever they are, they sound important.

IIHO, building more than three is in exvess. Countries like Russia which are spread out and low population in allot of places need them. The same might be said of a colonial power whom has multituds of low population colonies to protect. Other than circumstances like those the tend to just bog you down.

Silly "no more than x number of conscription centers" people. I usually build them in every single province it'll let me

Yeah, if you have 46k gold in the coffers, why not spend it? Next month, when you make 50k back, that's just more armies to have (and to get attritioned )

 

[unmerged(33058)]

Navies are more usefull IMHO. Plus, the Corps Centers are way to expensive the way I play.

Also, IMO, by the time you can use conscription centers (if ever, legally) all enemy fortresses will be large to mighty, and the extra manpower is needed just to slowly chip away at the fortress. Unless you're an exporation wimp. Of course then all you need is the tech to sail your Portuguese ships south and east with no attrition.

46K is pocket change when you have an empire that spans across Europe, N. Africa, and India

And I still regret that I led my difrules OE towards Norway instead of conquering the last bit of the mediterrainian...

I am too lazy to click many times or to put armies in ships so I build them about everywhere when I have enough money.

But they are not really important especially not for the active clickers.
