How To Change Population Limit In Age Of Empires 3

posted xi-10-07 03:46 PM EDT (US)

by changing something in the files ? as the space pop/build limit thing isnt exactly what i need. information technology changes unit cost to -1, but i need to have maximum popultion ready college, nothing else.

as me and my friend would similar to have the population limit somewhat higher, so we could accept more fun

i do know, that if we alter the max pop, units might not answer correctly, simply we still emmet to ascent it.

which file do we must edit and where, so we could have the pop limit set to something like 500 or then.

give thanks you lot for whatsoever aid !

There's a modding forum for this. And you won't be able to do information technology, because information technology is hardcoded.(You lot can't change information technology.)

Well, there are these new treasures that increase pop limit by +v, maybe at that place's a way to alter them to give +300 to pop limit and then edit a map to give ane each of those.

It merely came to my mind, then I thought I might aswell contribute my idea. Otherwise I practically dont know anything about re-coding, and so I apologize if it's a bad idea.

Q: How do I get veteran skirms as the dutch?
- yous have to buy the upgrade in the the barracks lol it should exist under the skimiser logo. -you have to be in age3 to get veteran and age 4 to get baby-sit.
After realizing they get automatically upgraded:

If yous have TAD, there is the same treasure, or the Chinese to look at. Since they both increase pop limit, there must be some style to do it, peradventure as a tech that is automatically enabled when the game starts (a la indian forest techs)

well, i found the file to edit and theyre fine at present, simply at present i get this error whenever i endeavor to play in sp:

Which file did you modify?

If y'all have Vanilla and so you want to change the PROTO file in the Information folder.
For TWC it�south PROTOX and for TAD it�southward PROTOY.

i think its best to stay with unproblematic stuff, so i'll just change vil popular to -one.

Yeah, that is the simplest way to become.
However, it�s better to change the population to zero.
You can do the same with all other units.

Please note that you tin play online with your friends with modified PROTO file as long every bit you both take the verbal aforementioned file.
All the same, you lot won�t exist able to play with anyone else.

Listen to MosheLevi!

I know that you can't exercise information technology in other game versions, but I'thou unsure virtually TAD. Possibly yous can't change it direct, only instead give all civilizations a tech that increases it. Anyway you will get better answers at the modding forum, so in that location is where I'm sending this thread

I know that under the no-no listing there is a no-no that says that you can't make a russian settler have 0 pop without taking away batch training, what version do yous have?
I institute this line nether techtreex for Age0Russian

[Outcome blazon ='Data' amount ='0.90' subtype ='Cost' resource ='Food' relativity ='BasePercent']
[Target type ='ProtoUnit'Settler[/Target][/Result]

For some reason they say 0.90 equally the data amount for the settlers. They say .75 for strelets though, and then I think information technology has something to do with batch training.

I ask also many questions?
Hey, I retrieve I'm back :P

I don't run across how making units having more than i popular is realistic, I know they did it to limit y'all, but it's even so sorta stupid. Anyway, I would simply make all pop down to 1.
