Military training

This sequel to the award-winning Crown of Glory takes Napoleonic Grand Strategy to a whole new level. This represents a complete overhaul of the original release, including countless improvements and innovations ranging from detailed Naval combat and brigade-level Land combat to an improved AI, unit upgrades, a more detailed Strategic Map and a new simplified Economy option. More historical AND more fun than the original!

I do not know, if I'm blind, but I can't find out, where to change the focus of the nations military training. I have looked through the manual. Can anyone help me?

You can only research new training once youve fought some land battles and gained experience...

if I follow you, go to the Ecc screen, it has sliders for number of Pop points to use for Recuits, age limits for them, and time spent in training before being released for unit replacement

Your military training focus will depend on the upgrades you can select and therefore how many experience points you have to buy these. You can check those upgrades you already have through the military training button on the economic or overview screens.

The number on the upgrades button on the front screen shows how many new upgrades you have available to choose from. The better upgrades tend to cost more so they won't appear until sufficient points have been gained. A full list of the upgrades is in the Appendix.

Of course there is always the temptation to use some experience points to buy special abilities for selected units or ships; the advantage of upgrades is they apply to all your forces that are eligible.

The regular source of experience points is the quarterly allocation derived from your barracks (or docks for naval). This amount increases as you improve them to higher levels or gain provinces with further ones.

In addition to battle gains, you will also get points if you have to surrender as this replicates urgent reforms after defeat. Its an especially big boost the first time this happens - 300 points, 50 on subsequent occasions. Also some random events will add to experience.

I don't think you are following his question, he is asking about training, not upgradeing

Military training does refer to upgrades and that section of the manual opens with the words "upgrades reflect the military training a nation has focused on..".

Is it me or does it seem better to surrender than to win? [&:]All those upgrades!

Yes, it does provoke envious thoughts. However I think it makes sense as the one thing guaranteed to shake up a country's military establishment was the humiliation of national defeat. The loser still suffers the other consequences of surrender whilst the victor takes his gains and its only the first surrender bonus that makes a really significant difference.
