Although the tribal summons for all able men to go to war can also be called "mobilization," it is not until modern times that the concept was formed of gathering a nation's full fighting force in a timely and organised manner. New technologies now allowed a state to have a rough count of all its men in fighting shape, of their experience (or lack thereof), and of course, of the weaponry available. Thus, plans could be drawn for a more rapid and efficient concentration of men, machines and armament, which, it turned out, is crucial for a modern, rapid war.

Quote
| - In order to rally people, governments need enemies ... if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.
- When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.

abstract
| - Although the tribal summons for all able men to go to war can also be called "mobilization," it is not until modern times that the concept was formed of gathering a nation's full fighting force in a timely and organised manner. New technologies now allowed a state to have a rough count of all its men in fighting shape, of their experience (or lack thereof), and of course, of the weaponry available. Thus, plans could be drawn for a more rapid and efficient concentration of men, machines and armament, which, it turned out, is crucial for a modern, rapid war. Mobilization unlocks the more advanced unit formations in the game - Army and Armada. It also unlocks a new diplomatic action - forming a Defensive Pact, and a new Casus Belli - the War of Territorial Expansion.
