Cannot Recruit?

[brekehan]

I currently am not able to recruit any units at all in the Americas. I don't understand. I know there is some unit cap thing in place, but I thought it meant that I could only recruit x amount of y unit from region z. Some of these regions in the Americas, I've never even recruited from. I have plenty of money, so I don't understand why everything is greyed out. I am going to get slaughtered if France decided he wants a piece of me.

Can someone explain how the recruitment system is currently working?

I think it is x amount of y unit in total.

Example: If playing GB upgrade your biggest settlements in the North American theatre. Then use those to supply the other ones. I tried to upgrade all my settlements to be able to recruit everywhere. But the money you earn isnt simply enough to do this. After all it is probably more historically correct to recruit and train near the big cities and supply the settlements from there.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Here is a Quote from the original thread:

You can only have a limited ammount of the troops you can train in america, like colonial militia, line infantry and auxillaries.

Once you have a set ammount, you cannot recruit more, but you have those troops for your defense.

So are you claiming that if I was to upgrade my Barracks in Philideplhia, that I would again be able to recruit in Lousiana?

[Lazy Knight]

no.

you can only have a set ammount of units at any time.
If your units die or you disband them, then you will be able to recruit more.

I think I may have put this out wrong. To supply I mean build them in example given Philly then move them to where they are needed on the campaign map.
