It's the year 1470 something and I bet you can guess who I am easily


But seriously, I've been having a problem and I'm not sure if its a glitch or just bad management er something. For some strange reason, just randomly (or usually right as it maxes out) my manpower will just start decreasing. Even during peacetime when none of my troops are dying, my manpower will just reduce itself by 1,000 a month until it hits around 3000-4000 when it will stop. Once it gets that low, my troops will then just start randomly dying, and because it's that low, they won't refill. So I end up in this viscous cycle and until I can delete a good amount of units, it will start to refill again. But even then, it will only refill at the rate of 1,000 a month, even though the manpower indicator says it can do about 4,000 a month.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it bad management of my armies or just some unholy glitch? Please help, since this problem has almost cost me a few key wars.
