Just curious what the largest population anyone ever aquired playing civ 2. My record is 47 mil. I am sure there are pleanty of you that have had much higher. Anyone know what the limit is?

Ummm... I'm playing a game right now in which I have a pop of 238 mil, and I cover a third of the world.

Someone mentioned that there is a limit to your pop, or at least the displayed population. But I don't remember what it is.

OK, I just looked it up, over in the help forum. Avvvv says he has a pop of 341 million, but the counter is stuck at 320 million.
someone else says they are getting a patch to get around that.

There is supposedly a way around this limit -- see http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum1/H...html?date=17:51
I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works or not.

My best ever was 87 million in Civ 1. Don't know my Civ 2 best though.

well, the one I have clocks over to 10,000 after you pass something like 317,400,000 people. Then won't go back to normal growth until another 317,400,000 people have arisen.

With 255 cities, and no Engineers, I've seen it clock over several times.

Also...the city numbers have a maximum number of 127. If you cheat and try Ctrl+Shift+C, then change the city number to 128, it will clock over to -128.

	Tired of ads?

there was a thread a while back in the strategy forum that tried to figure out the maximum possible score, and it included 255 size 127 cities. That comes out to be just under 21 billion people (20.7624 billion) A more realistic number for max pop is somewhere between 1 and 2 billion people. 254 size 30 cities will give almost 1.2 billion people (1.1811E9). As for my best, its closer to 500-600 million and i simply got tired of all moving of freights after a while (not a requirement for max pop though)

As for Civ I, I can't remember how high my best was but i know it was over 125 million, and if i had played a bit longer, i could have gone much higher but the tediousness of cleaning up the 'super-pollution' got to me.

*checks list of population figures he made ages ago*

Yep. 256 cities * 127 population points (each 127-sized city has 81,280,000 people) = 20,807,680,000 people.

No other figure is higher.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I passed the 800 million in a game that lasted (and still lasting) to 2550.

In TOT, after I patched the game to show population over 320 mil.

I remember that Ming(?) had a game where he got to ~22000 percent.

He could have lot more that a billion than.
