Inconsistant Manpower numbers in rural provinces

They work anywhere, but I usually only build them in urban provinces, because the rural provinces only produce, I think 450 mp each? And I don't want to waste my resources like that.

Yes, but non-developed, non-resource provinces produce more than developed, resource provinces?

Resource-producing provinces produce 900 dollars/150 mp a day, while Non-resource producing provinces produce 600 dollars/450 mp per day.

Yes, they do.Resource-producing provinces produce 900 dollars/150 mp a day, while Non-resource producing provinces produce 600 dollars/450 mp per day.

Also have a non-resource/rural/95% morale, with no buildings, giving 432 manpower.

Both are core provinces.

I usually find myself doing L3 recruitment centres in all core provs with 450+ manpower/day. Yes, that's a huge investment in food and crates, but it is worth it in the late game.

This is still an area I'm struggling with. I started building recruitment centers, maybe 1-2 per day, in rural provinces with no production because in my urban provinces I am constantly building stuff so this is helping a little.

Try to:

Start on Day 1 build 1-2 recruitment centers in rural provinces with no resource production.

Do this until about Day 4-5 or so (usually by then your construction has slowed down a bit in urban provinces)

Start building recruitment centers in urban provinces and levelling them up (it will pay off in the end game where manpower is typically low because of your size of army needs + new units you need to produce)

Each map and round is different so I am still learning how to balance this out without expending too any resources in the beginning. Need a good balance for sure!

My urban centers are fully built and producing nicely. This post is only about rural provinces having strange numbers.

I have a rare materials/rural/97% morale with nearly completed lvl 2 recruiting center giving 291 manpower.Also have a non-resource/rural/95% morale, with no buildings, giving 432 manpower.

I've built recruitment offices in core cities and get increased production. I have also built in rural, resource provinces, but see no increase. Even the non-resource provinces provide more than developed resource provinces. Do recruitment offices only work in the big city?
