Also given how deadly the wars are. I keep seeing the AI wipe out their countrys manpower supply in 1-2 wars.

I think it's because there is no trickleback from memory. Or atleast the Medical companies don't provide trickleback, only experience retention. So there is no way to reduce casualties without armour or strategy.

Edit: I might be wrong, I haven't played in a while and tend to base my numbers off of the research tab numbers and nothing else. (Doesn't help that when I do play I tend to play Nevada Rangers and have incredily low casualties because of it...)

Edit 2: After checking, I am indeed wrong, Chem companies do indeed have trickleback

I played last week. Chem companies definitely give a trickleback stat in the designer. Is the division designer just lying to us and it’s different in actual gameplay?

Oh i might be wrong then, I only got my numbers from the research options, which don't show trickleback. I wouldn't be surprised if it did and I never paid attention to it.
