Increase population limit please
Hello!
This definitive edition is really great but please do something for population limit. 200 units is ridiculous... Looks like you can only get 3 peasants and 5 fighters. The ♥♥♥♥ is this?
Come on!

+ Also something to select ALL units (and no limit anymore) would be great!

I like if population limit can change between 200-300. Ship's and native warriors has own limits.

Are you an American? Because that's what we call sarcasm and use it frequently.
*sigh* 200 UNITS are 200 COMBAT UNITS dude. Peasants have their own 99 build limit to it. Thats MORE THAN ENOGH for an RTS. If you want HUGE ARMIES then go play the fail called Cossacks pls. there, the sky is the limit (or your gold income)

Eh more like 120. By the time I get artillery and cavalry to support my infantry It's probably 100-120 guys.

200 population limit is too low.
With 99 settlers, 10 cannons and 20 cavalry mercenaries you arrive to 200 population.
So basically, only 30 units to fight with.

So if I play 4v4 and there is a battle in 3 different locations, then I need to split my units and have only 10 units in each battle.
That is just ridiculous.

We need 300 or even 400 population at least for single player.

The 200 pop limit is manageable depending on what units you train. Native units (from trade posts) don't take up population.

No? Settlers count towards the population limit. "build limit" is just that, a build limit, for that specific unit. They still count towards your population cap.

Please understand how the game actually works before trying to act like you know more than someone else.

The population is there for a reason. If you want the turks to have an overwhelming amount of the most powerful cannons guarded then you'll have a very crappy time because their cannon doesn't even suffer a calvary penalty. To add an extra 100pop would change the entire dynamic of the game. For example, a decent dutch player with the extra 50 military population can make a world of difference if they can keep their eco up. You CAN select all military troops with a button on hud or you could hotkey it.. If your idea is to mass an army into a single group then it's obvious you're not great at rts online. I mean the option you mentioned does sound fun and I would myself try it but I still don't at all think it's needed. Every RTS is unique in their own way. Maybe you could mod it into the game somehow?

Real bad idea. The game is balanced around this particular pop cap. If it was increased even by a small amount it could cause a huge balance shift between civs.

Are you playing against enemies with unlimited populations? because they should face the same constraints you do.
