I think I've answered my own question with a 'yes' but I'd like some confirmation and any possible reasons for this.

Has the rate at which the cap on army size - the plague limit - gone down?

A while back (WAY back) I noted down the cap limit and it was as follows:

Day 1: 350,684,932 disease
Day 2: 351,232,877 disease

That's a difference of 547,945 UU per day that it went up by.

A little later (but still ages ago) I noted it down again:

Day 1: 357,808,219
Day 2: 358,356,164

Again a difference of 547,945 UU growth.

Now the other day it hit a very nice figure of 410million exactly, yet when it clicked over for the next day it was not 547,945 UU bigger, it was a mere 136,986UU bigger.

viewtopic.php?f=101&t=129846 <- see that thread for the record of the size.

Next days size record wrote:(note: if you total population size is greater than 410,136,986 disease will surely strike your lands. Above 307,602,740 and raiding is no longer possible. Above 205,068,493 and trading/buying units no longer possible. Pergatory is not accessible above 41,013,699)

Now, has anyone else noticed this? And if so, does anyone know why it would go down?

Tekki, the admin did talk about a reduction mabey 25 percent?? From when this thread was posted

viewtopic.php?f=43&t=129244

Sigh I thought that was only for purgatory not for all of it. Oh well. I've got lots and lots of UU to sell.

What I read was purg would drop its growth to 25% of what it was.

Not main.

the update will go ahead as stated, with the following additions, based on user feedback:

1) 24hours no attack, no ppt, no vacation before entering pergatory. (just like vacation)
2) the 60 attack turn (or 4 15 turn attack, or any combination) is a past 24 hour count --not reset at midnight.
3) clarification: the 'slowed increase to army size' applies to all army size limits, like plague, raid, etc... the rate increases at 25% of previous increase rate. It is about 25mil per year (opposed to 100mil per year previously).

the rest remains the same.

Check 3).

so a purg update has bled over into the main realm????

Yes Lore, ALL of them have been adjusted down to 25% of what they were previously. At the moment it doesn't affect that many people (comparatively) but it's a pain in the proverbial. The limit raising 547k a day was a challenge - 136k isn't.

Caprila - Lore and I both read that the same way that the purgatory limit would slow down NOT all of them, otherwise you would have heard a lot more screams! I know I would have

Well I'll hope its a fluke on jason part, other wise what was the point if you cut both rates the same?

Meh, seems there will be plenty of UU for sale soon enough.

No, it's not a mistake. Read page 6 of the proposal to change Purg and Jason says that he will change the limit for all the caps.... then go write more articulately than I have complaining

meh, par for the course.
