I find drafting to be too easy. I am almost always the agressor, at one point or another. Keeping my target out of salpeter, or iron to prevent him from getting better defending units than spearmen. Then, I roll into his territory with my army of cavalry, seizing towns after towns.
Now, the AI hits Nationalism. All of a sudden, due to drafting, dozens of Riflemen show up. Cavalry against riflemen is a suicide, even conscripts, and it's a damn sure way to promote them too. So, I am stopped in my righteous crusade against the evil russians!!
Considering the number of shields it takes to produce a riflemen (or an infantry unit ), I think it unbalances the game too much in favour of the defender.
