Population Cap

[jsme]

Does anyone actually know how to change this number?

the game allows a pop cap of citysize=999999.000 I was wondering if anyone knew where to change this number to maybe... 20 mill or something?

Apparently the population is actually higher, but only displays 999999

hmm interesting.. and is there a way to view the actual pop?

No.

No.

I am pretty sure that is the case.
You can few the actual population of a province with a tool that should be linked somewhere in the "hall of fame"-thread, its something along the lines of EU3 stats viewer.

population makes no difference to the game once it has passed 100,000

And where would this number be saved? Save game only has the number 999999 saved for the province information and in the population tick saved every ten years it even says 999998.976.

This "actual" population number doesn't exist.

Ineed, you are right, I have to apologize, what I remembered was the fact that one version of the stats-program was bugged and displayed another number but I did not remember the post right beneath it which tells that its actually the opposite, damn you selective memory.

DO NOT change the number! Provinces are capped at 999999 because if you add one more person the province will explode. You have been warned!

I remember trying to do this back in the day, I actually achieved it. When you can see the 7th decimal everything was revealed to me. The purpose of the universe wasn't 42, but apparently 4200000, who'd have guessed.

Lmao you guys are too funny, I have learned something today; EU3 has the most reliable aid of any game I have ever played and any question I ask I have got a reply even a link showing where I should go. It's very rare to find such a active community... I think I will stay buying their games in the future because I love the help and the active community.

P.S. 999999 is the limit to pop and anything more is asking for trouble.

It is easy to check if the population can get higher or not - find a province that had 999999 people for some time and apply a negative growth for a year - will it decrease or not? If it doesn't, it means that the real number is present in a save file.

By the way, they should make a feature which displays "Over a million" instead of 999999, once this number is reached, just for aesthetic reasons.

Or just look at the save file; you will find the largest value is citysize=999999.000 .
