Devs, will we EVER see an update increasing population limit?
Devs, i really dont understand. You made this GREAT game, and then you cut its wings by imposing that ridiculous 120 pop limit on kingmaker mode?

Is there any chance you can do a small patch to increase the population limit please?

We are not asking for 10,000 units, but 120!? even 500 will suffice.
Thanks!

I think pop limit is made so player would build castles and not spend all their area towords eco.
Sadly like many games the best defense is a good offense and games wich are about buildings strongholds are not easy to fit in with this.

I dont think thats the reason mate. Look at all other Stronghold games, they might have some sort of limit, but not so ridiculously low as this one.

I remember when I made my own maps, I would build a corner of the map with all of the player's houses, cut off by a mountain range so nobody can destroy them. And that would allow everyone to have like 200 pop.

You kinda need a clear way to the castle for houses since peasants come from them

Since apparently the devs dont even monitor these forums anymore, it looks very unlikely we will ever see a change to this.
I wonder if there is some configuration file we can alter to increase the limit. Hopefully its not hardcoded.

There might be a way to change the pop-cap inside the files of the game... not sure though, might be, you need weird program to do it. This is an old game, after all.

Is the population cap always 120, or does it change between maps? I could try to see if I can find the check in game code if I have exact numbers to go by.

Seems editing the map file and spamming hovels is your answer for now.

Using the approach referenced here appears to provide > 120 max pop. Can only ever have 24 max idle peasants.

its 136 on 2 player then its 120 on 7 then mins -8 peasants down to 96 on 8 player games.
Firefly did actually increase the hovel count by... 1, but only for 2 player so its from 128 to 136, while the rest did not get touched [fun fact originally Pop cap for MP was always 88]

Custom maps can be made with more than normal amount of hovels. I think the highest cap I played on was 460 pop which was more than I knew how to work with.
