    Default Settlement population limits ..

    Hi,

    Want to know is it possible to make some settlements to grow only to certain number of population ..

    Like some city (athens for example) to grow only to population of 7000 and not over that .. so that the 7000 would be the maximum for the city ..

    IIRC then some mods had this feature in it..

    So .. what to I have to do to make it possible??

    Hmmm I'm not sure about a population limit as such, but it is possible to cap a settlement at a certain size by limiting the building of the main structure.

    So maybe stop them building the Proconsuls palace or higher.

    So basically adding some hidden resource to proconsuls/imperial palace that the cities I want to be large or huge will have??
    Does this mean the population will not grow anymore??
    Like if I make some settlement to build only governors villa(large town) the population will not grow anymore??

    Yup using hidden resources, the population will grow beyond that needed but wont go as high as it does if you upgraded the settlement.

    So .. that means that if I allow settlement to be only a large town it's population will not grow to 24000 or so??

    If so .. then this helps me a lot

    Thanks

    Not possible to limit a settlement's population. You can limit the settlement level by "disabling" the construction of a government building via hidden resources, but not the population itself. You can however negate population growth, by assigning a huge pop-growth penalty to the last level of government building you wnat your city to be able to construct. But still, when you enslave or wqhen you disband units, the settlement will grow of course.

    Thats a good point - if you use hidden resources to say limit a settlement to a Proconsuls palace then put in that the building reduces population growth by as high as you can/want again using requires hidden resource to mak ethis effect only in the settlements you want to limit you can cap the pop growth (except disbanding/slaves) You can make the minus quite high because AFAIK a negative to pop growth will never take it into the minus's

    You can sort of do it with scripting, you can write a script that removed population if it's over a certain level, now this won't hard cap it at a number but will keep it close.
