Population "resource" for unit recruitment?

**ioannis76** · June 11, 2018, 05:04 PM

Hello, first of all, THIS IS AN AMAZING MOD, IT'S PRACTICALLY A NEW GAME, THIS THING IS HUGE!!! (hold on, that didn't sound right

).
Just a quick question, has the population resource for recruitment concept (ie, recruitment takes some population) been abandoned? Or is it to be implemented at some later date?
Thank you for this mod, and thank you in advance for any answers.

A true "Manpower" system is still something we would very much like to include for AE. But alas, we're short on manpower ourselves. Causeless is the only person on the team with a previous proof of concept in the area, and is the best person to answer whether this is feasible in the future. It's a major undertaking, and I would personally understand if it feels too heavy. Leaving that unsaid, Causeless is your guy to provide more clarity on the matter.

Hi Sheridan,
regarding this "Manpower" system: The mod "DEI" (Rome 2) implemented a cool system with precise population count, inclusive the separations into different society classes, important for (balancing) recruiting. Is it possible to port and use that system in AE?

This question has been asked many times. I actually helped develop PoR2, and it's definitely cool to see in DEI - however, due to extra features (i.e hordes) and changes in the design of AE, it makes a straight port of PoR2 difficult. We already have an alpha manpower system that needs to be complete.
