Occupying enemy provinces gives you a base garrison of 100 men.
As I understand it if there is no land connection to the capital there will be no increase, wich is not the problem.

The problem is I am experiencing the same lack of garrison growth in every province I occupy, despite them being adjacent to my own land border, leading me to believe that the computer erroneously thinks that my garrisons are overseas and penalizing me.

An example. I ´m playing Pontus, controlling northern turkey and the caucasus, when the seleucids declare war on me. He occupies all my provinces in the caucasus, I occupy all his provinces in southern Turkey. And while the provinces he is occupying replenish garrisons at a normal rate all provinces I have seized stay still at 100 men.

I control the seas, so no blockades, I have tech levels between 5 and 7, full army and naval maintenance, manpower and gold to spare and no matter how many years I wait they stay still at 100 men. There is a land connection from the occupied provinces to my capital, and the fortification levels are between 1 and 3. The culture and religion of the provinces I have taken are Greek/Greek, as is my own. Stability is +3.

I am running a single player game with patch 1.1 and no mods or tweaking whatsoever. I do not know if the problem has been there since day 1 of the pontus game but I know it has been constant since I first noticed it, sometime like 580 AVC to current 660 AVC during several wars against the seleucids.

Aye, all my caucausian provinces. The pontic homeland in northern Turkey was not threatened however, so there shouldn´t have been anything keeping garrison reinforcements from marching to our new conquests to the south. Anyways I tried playing Sparta to see if the same problem occured, but it did not unless the province I wanted to reinforce had no "line of supply" so to speak to my capital. Whatever caused the problems for Pontus was not present in the Sparta game, quite the mystery for me.
