Increasing Settlement Populations

**Red Spot** · 01-26-2008, 04:16

if the "impression" of large populations is so important to you why do you go around it the hard way ...

when you want to up populations (wich isnt possible btw, so forget about it) you'd also have to retweak the entire population-growth system/(un)balance, so why not alter the ui and just push a few "dummy zero's" behind where the population shows, wich effectivly still is 24.000 civies for huge_city, though it would than say 24.000.000, where you've added ".000" to the ui-files ...
(not sure how far its possible, though I guess with a big enough desire to pull it off it is doable)

Hi their my idea to get a diffrent numbers of pop at a level of settlement for example to reach the last level we must have 24,000 population did we make this number jump up to 100,000 or higher can I do that.

well several textures are used to display what you see in game, find the one thats used as background for when viewing settlement-detail and find out where on that texture the settlement-population is displayed and than behind that place the text/numbers ".000" (without the "") wich would than show a population of "population*1000" but is only a visual thing ...

I'm not even sure it can be done, just pointing out to whoever finds it interesting enough to invest the time that there "may" be a method ... but its up to the .. er .. interested ones to find out about the details and wether it actually is possible or not as I personally have no interest in a town with a population-level of 2-million ;)
