How to increase force limits?

[Nelson05]

How to increase force limits except for building the special military buildings, which increase force limits by 2. Is there any other way to do it?

Conquering provinces adds to it. And there is a idea in the offensive group that increases by 25% I think.

indeed, conquering provinces and the idea - i would personally like to see other ways to add it, but as it is now it seems there is not. There's also the advisor that adds by 10%

Increase your tax base. Build temples in every province you own. It is one of the earliest and cheapest buildings in the game. Prioritize coastal provinces if you need more ships, because naval force limits are calculated on the tax base of your coastal provinces. You could also become HRE and get .5 force limit for each state in the emprie.

Thanks all! Building temples is very helpful, since I have 150+ core provinces.
