Pop cap really sucks

[$X-president$Mr.Wallace]

I sorta whined about this in another thread, but I really hate the pop cap
Games drag on forever, and I really have little incentive for capturing points anymore
I have had 9999 manpower every game and its useless
At least make it 150 so when you have spent everything on your required defenses you can at least make a small force to attack with
As it is now, once you have enuf ammo for an artillery barrage or similar, all you do is play defense, sneak a tank into their base and take em out
Some nice changes, and smarter AI, but sort of a patsy game now
really unfortunate
You are forced to be on the offensive steadily, with very little due to the pop cap, and they will pummel your base without defenses. The balance between defense and offence is very small

Yes, and consider buying Men of War Assault Squad. It doesn't have such silliness...

I like the smaller amount of units. You actually have to use them wisely and use "Strategery" lol..

Yes yes and have everyone in the game start smelling burnt metal as soon as things start getting out of control. If you have 99999 manpower, then you no NEED to create any more troops. You have a surplus of resources, implying that you're doing well in the game. What's the strategic/logical use of using spending more manpower when you don't have to? You're not meant to have a "defense" force, or in other words, idle troops, and the only defense your allowed to have is a MG nest (more than sufficient if you aren't a complete noob and create AT units) Your troops are both your offense and defense, and it's up to your skill to micromanage it properly to win the game, not to spam your enemy with a mass of flesh and metal.

The game is focused on offensive, having opponents clash each other in the battlefield, not a defense tower game.

100 is sufficient and optimal in both gameplay and graphical integrity for an official release.

I just find it a tad restrictive, I havent fully adjusted yet, but I liked a few more troops, plus you consider for example engineers used to count 3, and now count 6 etc,
No biggie, but at those costs 150 would be perfect I think because you have to spend a noticeable amount on base and point defense or they're gone.
The original game even included a defensive posture option, but it certainly suggests pure offense this time around.
Still a great game, and I'll afford it its due, just 50 more pop cap might give you that option for some slightly quicker skirmishes once in a while.
I wonder if making pop cap an adjustable option would work. Instead of normal or high resources....micro...manage... a bit...perhaps?
Enjoy everyone, mayhap see thee on the field of battle

The graphics and gameplay have never been an issue for me btw...so far fortunately

Increasing the Population cap won't improve turtler tactics, because both sides will gain access to that increase. Which means that if your opponent has more units to throw at you, all that extra Popcap you gained will have to go into additional units to reinforce your defensive lines to keep his extra units out.

For you maybe. But for a solid 80 or so posters just to this forum over the last two weeks alone, graphics and performance is a huge issue. Your suggestion will definitely make the game completely unplayable for them, and then you get to wait even longer for an MP match that doesn't lag or crash.

[$X-president$Mr.Wallace]

well, with that considered, I certainly wouldnt want anyones game experience to suffer, so valid point

Read this thread. It explains how to change the popcap for any map you currently play on.
