It's 1848 and I'm cleaning up as Prussia in preparation for forming the conservative empire. Bavaria is a monarchy but I am fighting it as it was allied with one of the German democracies I annexed. I invade quickly and conquer more than 2/3 of their territory. Only 3 provinces are left, Munich and the two southern ones adjacent to it. Suddenly from out of nowhere, 1,030,000 men appear in Munich. Yes, that's over a million -- presumably from mobilization. I flee quickly before being creamed and with a hasty peace am still able to get 2 provinces in the peace (I had hoped for much more). Obviously I can't fight a million men, even as a mobilized Prussia with a decent army. When I fought Bavaria ten years prior, they also had a large army -- over 400,000 men running around in 1838.
How can this happen? I can find no way to generate more than about one-quarter of this number of men for myself by using max mobilization to reinforce the divisions of my standing army. Bavaria also has about one-quarter of the land that I do, so my proportionate mobilization appears to be about 1/16th. Is this a bug? I don't seem to be having problems like this with other nations. It is odd that the military score for both Bavaria and Baden exceeds that of Russia. Should invading Bavaria really be as daunting and involve the million-man battles of fights on the Russian front? It is difficult for me to explain it as anything other than a bug ...or to find a viable work-around that will allow me to consistently appropriately emerge victorious over Bavaria. I have no trouble with Austria, only Bavaria.
Also Baden is weird -- ever since a prior war in which I annexed the minor I declared on and Baden became the alliance leader at that time, both Bavaria and Baden have had great power status. Why? Baden is also running around with 200,000+ stacks of men...a lot for a 4-province country; I barely have that many in my full-force standing army although I own 80% of northern Germany and about 30% of the south. Great power status might have something to do with it, but this is ridiculous.
Any thoughts? Also is there any way to correct or edit the scenario files to fix this seemingly massive mobilization bug?
Thanx.
