Playing as Dutch, cannot recruit in my 2 regions in the caribbean -stuck with 3 units and now around year 1736. It never changes so I cannot win the game like this. do not really understand the manpower thing except that you can recruit more units at certain intervals, OK in Europe for me and Ceylon. Is this a bug in the Carribean? Otherwise despite expensive ugrading costs my finances are doing pretty well. I will need to attack France at some point, and they have 5 or 6 units in French Guyana agsinst my 2 nextdoor.
