How do you get more men?

Hi all,

I've played the several updates, but in every game soon or later I face recruiting issue's.
I have no problem upgrading squads and equipping them. However Have more men is a problem, soon I have no reserves in any town.

So basically how do you get more manpower?

To get more reservists, build residential buildings in rural settlements, and also pass laws increasing the number of reservists.
To increase the workforce, build residential buildings in other settlements, and pass the corresponding laws.

I wonder bout that too. Cant you just press a button and if there is war, your peoples will just join? Even militias are nice. There is conscript doctine.

They could add a policy under the politics tab.


The game is still in early access so a lot is subject to change.

A would like a kind of logistical planner, better construction and production.
Better custom squads for several army components

In case of war you have people that can join ; called reservists.
The thing is , before you push any laws in conscription , its almost like you only deal with voluntaries ; and there is not lot whos willing to die on war.

But once you pushed 2-3 conscription laws , there is no problems ever get fresh patriots for war. The thing is - you have to decide , either you go war , then you push conscription , or you go economy , then you push eco policy and dont play agressive.

At some point, if you play eco first , dedicate some of prod for TIGERS / MRAPS so every single squad have at least light vehicle. They are cheap and provide lot of fire power vs enemy infantry. On eco tree better lose Tiger or Mrap , rather than 10 men

But without conscription laws , even if you spam like hell Residences , you will never get lot of manpower for an intense war.
