Quick Overview

The army_drill command in Europa Universalis IV is used to set the military drill level for all your subunits.

Military drill in EU4 is a measure of the training and readiness of your troops, influencing their overall performance in battle.

By setting the army drill level with this command, you can enhance your military capabilities in the game.

In-Depth Description

The army_drill command in Europa Universalis IV is utilized to set the drill level for all your subunits, typically your army.

The drill level set by this command affects the effectiveness of your armies. A higher drill level generally increases the combat capability of your army units and improves their overall performance in battles and wars.

This is represented by an extra ‘fire’ and ‘shock’ damage dealt by these units during combat. Additionally, a higher drill level helps in reducing army damage received.

This command can be particularly useful when you're planning to go into war as it allows you to instantly enhance the combat proficiency of your armies, bypassing the traditional method of drilling armies over time. This can potentially turn the tide in a war, especially when you're battling against an adversary with superior military power.
