Eight infantry regiments can easily beat three infantry + two cavalry due to flanking effects. With artillery being three times and cavalry two-and-a-half times more expensive than infantry, a more infantry heavy but cheaper army could be more cost-efficient, especially if a nation suffers from cavalry or artillery penalties.Also reserves should be calculated to replace lost regiments in first line. To achieve this, the number of artillery should not exceed the number of cavalry and infantry combined. Since artillery takes twice the normal damage when in the front line, it should be deployed in the second line.Artillery defends first line units from attacks with half of its defense points in the corresponding battle phase.Artillery can fire from the second line, and therefore can vastly increase the effectiveness of an army.To avoid the insufficient support penalty, an army must not surpass the maximum ratio of cavalry per infantry regiments.To maximize combat effectiveness of an army, the ratio of infantry, cavalry and artillery is vital.

It takes 1000 manpower to recruit a regiment. Regiments start with 50% of maximum morale. The base cost and time of a regiment depends on its type this is then adjusted by any modifiers, in particular any buildings the province might have. Each province can recruit one regiment at a time, though multiple regiments can be queued up in a single province. Recruiting regular forces requires an owned, unoccupied province to recruit in, and three resources: manpower, ducats, and time. Please help with verifying or updating this section.
