Hello, I have a problem

Hello, I have a problem. I cannot recruit land forces (the navy is normally produced), land forces neither from the provinces, nor from the army, nor from the global menu. There is no tab for training troop

Have you tried the levy map? What does it say on the map?

On the left side, the icon with a helmet, from there you can raise your levies, you do not build units as in EUIV

There is a map mode, called levy map where you can raise your levy/region on the territory you wish. Use the clockwork button above the map to change the map mode

As IsaacCAT is getting at, you no longer train troops like in EUIV. I'm going to quote my explanation from a post yesterday on this - I apologize if it isn't directly focusing on your question:

1. Levies come from pops. You do not, repeat, do not, control their composition or size directly. They are instead calculated based on the number of pops of integrated culturein that region. Their unit composition is based on what cultures make up said integrated pops - lots of Romans will give you a decent proportion of heavy infantry, say, while lots of Scythians will net you some horse archers in the mix.
   • As a result of this system, you may need to integrate some cultures to keep your military's size up. Alternatively, you can sit around and wait for them to assimilate.
   • Note that while raised, you lose out on those pops' production, so keeping levies permanently raised is extremely costly. Additionally, taking heavy casualties on levies can cause associated pops to die. Legions (below) are the solution to this... or just don't lost troops in battle, because that will definitely prove practical at all times...
   • All regions, even if you have a single territory with 1 pop in it, will provide a 4-unit levy as baseline (i.e. 2k troops). Unless you're small they probably won't be how you win wars, though they might be needed reinforcements or useful to take undefended province capitals.
   • Manpower is needed to replenish your levies and your legions, so it's still quite important.
2. Legions can be raised from your home region or from all regions, depending on your laws. They cost upkeep, but don't run the risk of killing pops, don't take away pop production, and their commanders aren't also governors (so it's much easier to assign the best characters available specifically for fighting). Importantly, each unit of troops raised in the legion is one less you get of that region's levies, so the pop-based troop budget is still a major factor.

(and a short bit to direct this at your question) In short, all raising of troops happens from your military windows (or from the levy mapmode, which is just an extension of those military windows). Only legions can be recruited, and even then it's done directly through the legion window, not on a territorial recruitment system.

That why when I play with Rome I try my best to get a Punic Reform or a Marian Reform, but every decision has a cost on the other side of the coin.


Levies is good but rely on them all the time gonna cost severe drop down on your economy and increasing taxes, exporting and Tribute gonna put you in trouble. If you aren't able to recover fast say goodbye to the game.
