Recruitment costing population

[taw]

This is really annoying at high unit sizes. Is there any way to restrict this to more reasonable values or turn it off like in Medieval 2?

[Spike]

sorry this was hardcoded for Rome...

[taw]

Is it possible to scale up population sizes at least (like in Medieval 2), or is that hardcoded as well?

[Spike]

yes, it's possible to make "large town" or "city" into "mere town", but that will envolve editing expanded_bi and exchanging settlement plans (in fact, I'm using that on my mods)

Make a hidden trait like; Effect Farming 3 or Effect Health 3 or Effect GrainTrading 3 or all, and give it to all generals or just add population bonus to core buildings.

I used huge settings when balancing RNJ, and found you need these settings for the player and ai to expand population.
