Required Minumum Religious Level in Province.
1) 75% if faction Zeal is moderate or high.

Distance to Centre of Power
This feature only affects non War Councillors.
Whilst the Leader's recruitment restriction orders are in place, but non WC generals can still recruit category B & C units (i.e.
Right to Knight: Restricted), when too far from the Capital these generals will find they are only empowered to recruit militias (category C) under their governorship, not category B.
Of these non WC generals, those with a command ability of 4 stars or greater are unaffected.
Recruitment Limit Reached
Your empire cannot sustain a size of military force which is too great compared to the size of your empire.
All recruitment for all generals, with the usual exception of militias (category C) is restricted.
If you have only just been notified of this restriction and have only just exceeded your maximum recruitment level, yet you need a better army, disband as many weak units as you can spare. Next turn, if you disbanded enough and your recruiting generals are in position to recruit, then with all other factors being ok, recruit as many powerful units as you can muster before you again reach your limit.
You have effectively promoted the old units.
Mercenary units are your other option as they are always recruitable, subject to standard game conditions.
Available TO units just vanish
