	Expanded & Infinite Population Limit Mod Increase the size of your Attachments

***This mod was made using the Gold version and may not work with the demo.***

Expanded Population Mod:

For those who want a little more breathing room on the population limit. The population limit now doubles as you research each military technology, up to 3200.

Military 0: 25 Pop Limit
Military 1: 50 Pop Limit
Military 2: 100 Pop Limit
Military 3: 200 Pop Limit
Military 4: 400 Pop Limit
Military 5: 800 Pop Limit
Military 6: 1600 Pop Limit
Military 7: 3200 Pop Limit

Infinite Population Mod:

For those who don't want the population limit to bother them during play. The population limit is now set at 99999 regardless of the technology.

Note:

This mod may drastically reduce performance.

Installation:

Simply download the file and extract either the Expanded or Infinite Pop Limit mods to your data directory located in the folder where you installed the game. Make sure to back up the rules.xml and help.xml files before using this mod.

For those who want to modify the population limit to their own custom preferences, here's what you do:

Make sure you have a xml editor, I recommend this one:

http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/

Next open up the rules.xml file located in your data directory where the game is installed. About 1/6th of the way down( the search function doesn't work too well for some reason.. ) you'll find a title called "POP_CAP" with 7 entrys with numbers, each entry corresponds to each military technology. Simply edit these and save the file. You can also change the population cap when you select the options for a quick battle, but I don't think it's necessary. To do this scroll about 4/5ths of the way down the rules.xml file until you find a title called "poplimits" and "population" in blue boxes, below them are 6 entrys, each corresponding to the population limit options, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 200. Make sure to edit both the name and the value on these. I also edited the help.xml file so that when the help popup comes up it displays the proper values, you don't need to change these though.

Any problems let me know..

About the gold version. As far as I can judge, the xml files will be put into some archives, sort of .bar or something files. Then, someone will need to get an extractor from that, then edit the xml and put it back...

	Put an end to popups!

With the new patch of 6/14/03, the rules.xml is 20% larger, and there seems to be alot more references to pop caps, including a reference to max pop = 300 (referencing, I presume, to wonder effects).

An update on how to make modifications to the pop limit would be appreciated (I'm too lazy/CHICKEN)!

max pop needs to be modded to atleast what your top pop limit+max wonder effects would be and the quick battle options MUST be changed for it to work....think those only changes from orignal

When I discovered that the old pop mod didn't work with patch 2, I sat down, looked at Downer's mod, and made the same changes as in his 3200 limit pop mod to the updated files. I've attached the modded files.
Thanks to Downer for making the mod in the first place, I really enjoy it

I'm a newbie but love RoN. My question is; if I have the gold version and follow the instructions at the begining of this post, should I automatically have either custom or infinite population?
I did everything but I still have a limit of 200/250 w/Colossus.
Any help would be great. thanks in advance
