How to Massivly increase population growth modfier

[Domitan]

Hi

I love this mod but cause i am using a very decent pc the scales of the battles is the only thing that dissapoints me!

So my solution has been to increase all units bar elephants and chariots to maximum size ( they bug and instantly stampede if u increase them)

However, the only draw back i get is after about 100 years the population of enemy cities due to huge mismanagement by the ai is empty.

So my question is how do i increase the popultation growth modifier massively to maybe 4 or 5 times its current amount of the base pop growth? And also is there a way to change some of the starting buildings in the cities? If you could point me in the direction it would be great.

The battles are amazingly fun with this huge unit size. As i pritty much allways play with Rome i dont increase my unit size by only halve to give the ai a bit more of a chance

Giving everything the grain resource should do wonders

If you look for the descr_regions file, there should be a farming level value in there that affects the base population growth of regions. Though you have to be careful because I think it influences farming income, as well.

To change the starting buildings you need descr_strat. In that file each region should have a list of all the buildings present. You have to be careful when modifying it, though, because you need to use the internal building names.

Hi

Thanks, i went at it from a slightly different angle. I added population and happines bonus to all temples. I overdid it a bit on my first try and ended up with all my cities rebelling . I think i need to tweak it down to just bonus of 1 to each temple. I had each temple giving a bonus of 6!

Check out the population growth thread we have. There's a link to the effect of squalor in one of those. You might find it useful.
