Is there a way to get more replacements?
Playing as France, I saved what I thought was a quite lot of reserves in the replacement pool (10-15 in each category), but then around 1852 my scientists discovered a lot of upgrades - new weapons, armor for ships etc. The next turn a few units upgraded, and then my replacement pool went empty. I am now some 3125 hits behind.
The tool tip tells me to have around 10% of this number available. This means one replacement chit is equivalent to 10 hits, I guess. That is, I shall provide 313 replacement chits for the red hit numbers to go away. But for the time being I am only receiving 50 conscripts per turn, and I need 32 conscripts for one replacement chit. So I can make two replacements every three turns.
Unless something happens, it will take me around 200 turns to get all my troops upgraded. Hopefully no one will attack me during those 8 game years, my armies are very, very weak.
I tried to institute a medal, but that only gave me more officers. What I want is conscripts.
