Nice video there, I'm really looking forward to this game :D

No more Population Limits woooooooooooo

Re: 'What's New in Age 3?!?!'
 

There are populations limits, actually, as far as I know. The pop cap in the game will be 200 or 300, I think, not sure which.

Re: 'What's New in Age 3?!?!'
 

hopefully more. maybe you can edit them. 200 is fun... but 1000 would be amazing.

Re: 'What's New in Age 3?!?!'
 

Well there are pop limits.

The max is 200.

BUT.

Different things have their own pop limit. Like ships wont take up that pop but you only have a certain amount of ships u can build.

I think its the same with villagers and native americans.
So you you can only have a pop limit of 200 for MILITARY units.
Although different units take up different amount of slots. I think infantry takes up 1, cavalry 2, and artillary 4 or so.

Im not exactly sure if this is right but ive read it in many places.

Re: 'What's New in Age 3?!?!'
 

It's probably that way, as it is for most RTS games nowadays. Usually 2 for cavalry, 1 for infantrry, sometimes 4-5 for ships, and 3-4 for siege units.

Re: 'What's New in Age 3?!?!'
 

ya anyways. dont fret about the pop limit. ES said that u will barely reach all full pop limit anyway.

also i forgot to mention that u can hire Mercinaries as well and they have their own pop limit.


Apparently from people who have played the beta say that alot of your men will die in combat anyway, its allot of sending troops stagger by stagger so the pop limit doesnt matter.

I prefer to keep my troops alive, but having huge armies repeatedly clash over and over with large amounts of soldiers. :D

"1 death is a Tradgedy, 1,000,000 deathes is a Statistic ".
I follow those rules for my gameplay .

Re: 'What's New in Age 3?!?!'
 

Of course. But it can also be satisfying to beat a larger force with a much smaller one using tactics, or superior technology, etc.
