Negative Manpower

[Saint Otter]

Playing as France and this means I cant carry on playing, the manpower goes negative when it gets over a certain amount (1 million) means I cant play the game as non of my armies will reinforce, does anyone know if there is anyway of fixing this?

I know this is a 2 year late response, I'm just answering in case anyone else is wondering:

To fix this, open your save file with Notepad or something like this.

Use 'Find' and search up: "government=", do this until you come across your country, which should look like, for example:

FRA=
{
human=yes
history=
{
primary_culture=french
add_accepted_culture=suisse
add_accepted_culture=wallonian
add_accepted_culture=rheinlaender
add_accepted_culture=corsican
add_accepted_culture=piemontese
add_accepted_culture=catalan
capital=307
government=constitutional_monarchy
idea_points=0
overseas_bases=yes
force_marching=yes
coordinated_moves=yes


Then, search for "manpower=". Change this to "manpower=100" to reset the manpower back to 100 manpower. You have to, unfortunately, do this whenever the manpower gets too high and becomes a negative number.

This could be easily fixed if there were a 'add manpower' cheat like in most Paradox titles; but alas, this is not one of those titles. (To elaborate: In most Paradox titles, you could just do 'add manpower -10000' to reset it)
