I'm very excited for this! I was left with an empty feeling upon seeing Mitch's unfinished pop. mod, but you good pups have got my tail wagging again! Woof woof!

Great to see the idea hasn't been abandoned
Just out of curiosity, what´s the difference in your approach to mitch´s, since his affected the AI too if I remember correctly

Great news, guys! Awesome news to see the Populous mod revive again
Incredible, having manpower system in game will be great.
Curious as to the goal of this mechanic? to slow down army production? or force mercenary use? or make it so you have to create a stack from more than region?
Is this mod intending to make R2 like M2TW? Where you could have a few elite units in your army roster?
As far as I remember , mitchs approach for AI was that the recruitment pool for them was covered over all their regions so that AI who does not know the system will be able to recruit units permanently, however, will still decrease their overall pool. that way the checks for the AI UI were somehow limited and did not need too many PC resources.

This was one of the key-elements of M2TW... You could only have a few elite units, and that was forcing you to really manage your army stack. In Rome 2, once you get the new barracks, you replace ALL your units with the new ones. This is a real feature of TW... Seems interesting...
In a little submod of mine I completely changed how recruitment worked.
From Barrack lvl 2 on every single unit was available and the higher the lvl of the barrack, the more units one can recruit.
Additionally with every barrack tier any unit has more experience upon recruitment, with further bonuses to unit training per turn.
This IMO is more historical. The bigger the barracks the more men you could train simultaniously, the better equipped they were, the better the training recruits received.
I always found it ridiculous how it took me more than a year to recruit an army, when in reality, a levy could be called upon in about three months time.
I also think the DeI reform scripts are doing a well enough job with keeping units to their historical time period.
Now I´m really curious how it will play out with this mod!^^

Waiting eagerly.
Progress is coming along quite quickly now and we are getting very close to an early internal test version.
Recently completed:
- UI
- Growth mechanics
- SP functionality
This means that the basic single player version of the mod currently works.
Currently working on:
- MP functionality
- starting values
- advanced population mechanics like immigration
- dummy effects and text
- Explanation event
- some other secret squirrel stuff
Will post again once we pass another development milestone

Sounds great! Thanks for your effort!
What will happen to the population when you conquer a city? Will they get counted among the foreign then?
