Pop cap over 200?

[Ichabod]

I played a game vs a guy who played the Mongols. I was reading through the stats post game, and I saw his max population was over 200? is that a mongol thing?

I don't know, but was it just slightly over 200? I know in SC2, there are some niche conditions where you can push yourself over the population cap, such as turning a drone into a building, making new units back up to 200, then cancelling the building (which turns it back into a drone, pushing you over 200).

It's probably something like Mongol buildings counting as a unit, but being allowed to be packed up while at the unit cap.

it was 266 total population

what really? That doesn't sound right. This is either yet another Mongol exploit, a mistake on your part or the other player cheating, must surely be one of these three.

I wonder if he's running that pop cap removal mod from a few days back and the game doesn't realise?

i've played as all races and 200 was max. maybe it was counting cued up minions.

He might've gotten some strong conversions off that heavily turned the tide of a battle while having minimal losses. Just my guess.

If you wolololo at pop cap it wont work. But maybe if your at 199? Dunno.

That's a bug. I've seen it dozens of times in post game for myself when I know for a fact I've never exceeded 200. Maybe it's counting units that are queued and built but just prevented from spawning due to the cap
