noob question about house limit

[Nuggs]

so i was playing and it said i couldnt build more than 16 houses and i needed another town centere to make more houses.

I built another town center on a settlement site and it still said my house cap was 16. i even upgraded it to fortified and still a 16 max housing cap.

Im curious what i was doing wrong.

the house limit is 10 though?

TCs dont increase your house build limit, they simply provide extra population capacity.

You have a house limit of ten, to raise population cap past that you need town centers. This is essentially to encourage map control and give a winning player more advantage to help close out a game.

The house limit used to be 10, in previous versions, but now in retold its 16;
in other words, you can now get max +160 pop from houses, instead of +100.
(half those amounts for Atlantean manors: it used to be 5 manors, now its 8)

And as Monokuma said,
Town Centers dont increase the build limits of houses/manors,
but provide more population themselves: +15 population,
with an extra +10 population when you get the "fortified town centers" upgrade.
(this upgrades used to give only +5 pop for TCs, in previous versions;
so with 3 TCs and all houses, you can now get max 235 pop,
instead of maximum 160 pop, in previous versions)

And just to give some additional info: there are 3 more ways to get a bit more pop:
Isis gets an additional +5 per town center; (so she can get up to 250, with 3 TCs)
Sekhmet's Citadels give an additional +10 pop, compared to regular TCs,
and there is a relic, called "Eye of Horus", that gives TCs +4 extra pop.
