Levies 3000/4000, why won't it grow?

[DrakenKin]

Just wondering, i see 3000 available troops on 4000 possible limit, but my levies growth per month is zero, meaning the 3000 is not going up. I am not at war, and i have gold.

What's preventing my troops from reaching their maximum number?

I think some one said a bug, raise troops then dismiss and I think it fixes it.

i am trying to understand this as well. i noticed it just takes a long time to fill up... it took mine 2 decades and a leader death. I dont know but maybe its something to do with recruiting population. if you finished a bunch of buildings to open access to levies you have to also have the population of young males to fill the ranks.

for some reason it just stops growing but if you raise you levies it will begin to grow.
I just raise them split of a small army and disband the rest so the levies reinforce again. I do it like this so it don't cost to much while the army is raised

so wait that's all I got to do.
I just noticed it grew when I had the army raised so thought that was the fix

Then you lower your troops and reraise and your Levy goes from 3000/4000 to 1500/1400 and you're like "seriously game wtf"

I think it has also something to do with your army quality. I was at 6500/8000 levies and it stopped filling.
Army quality was 4 stars. So i did the think where i raise the army, then disband them right away which starts the refilling again. But as soon as i raised over 6500 troops the army quality dropped to 3 stars.

So maybe its intended to soft lock the highest possible quality of your overall army?

You know that Star Quality doesn't DO anything

Its just based on how much stats the army has behind the amount of troops it has...

Do you have special troops or something? Special troops count towards your total limit and don't reinforce. It's a bit confusing.

i think it has to do with issues in certain provinces, maybe you don't have full Control in some of them?

Not sure, but I don't think so.

So far the most likely explanation i heard is that it keeps less troops so they stay elite instead of diluting the quality. That might explain why my armies are always elite.

be aware that the number of levies displayed on the character tab is sometimes overestimated. Raising levies fixes this for most of the time
