I think that the maximum possible population ought to be 1,000,000,000 (or 999,999,999).

I think this is a nice round number and something cool to aim for.

I also think how you get there shouldn't be restricted in any way (ie. no more raiding/black market/trading caps.), if you want to get there by raiding a billion UUs, or buying them, or trading for them, or any combination thereof, it should be up to you.

I also think that the idea of a plague breaking out once the limit is reached isn't ideal. I would want to feel safe acquiring UUs all the way up to the maximum without having to fear losing a lot if I accidentally hit the limit and always having to be careful of keeping it just under the limit.

I think maybe a better idea would be to justify the maximum by saying something like 'the resources of your home planet cannot support a higher population'.

And therefor your natural daily UP just stops working (I think this would lead to players growing their population to around 990m so that their UP keeps functioning, and just selling 10m UUs at a time whenever they hit the maximum).

What do you guys think?

(Note: if your total population size is greater than 786,164,384 disease will surely strike your lands.
Above 589,623,288 total population, raiding and black market purchases are no longer possible.
Above 393,082,192 total population, trading for units is no longer possible.
Pergatory is not accessible above 58,962,329, and will forcefully eject you above 78,616,438
Current trades count towards these limits.)

I think I went 800 mill over that in 2011.

What do you mean?
Do you mean 1,800,000,000 ?
How would that be possible?

Enough unit production to negate plague.

i went your an idiot... soz xoxo

since jules fixed the army boosting situation, maximum you can buy or raid or otherwise upto is 600mil. everything above that (not including mercs) has to be earned through pure UP.
adding into that, you have plague at some 800mil... thus needing a very nice UP to even get to 1bil.
Everyone who gets above that will need to invest ALOT into UP to keep that amount, invest that much into UP and you should reap the benifits...

start capping army at a max and you might as well say no one can build a defence or attack over X amount and no MS can be bigger than blah blah... you get the drift.

theres mechanics in place to heavily reduce armies of that size, work it, and you should be allowed to flaunt it

lol sorry but its really a stupid idea and well i would say we should go for a your an idiot option here

Why yes I mean, my raw army size without mercenaries was indeed at 1,800,000,000.

Yes, that number is correct 800 million over 1 billion is 1 billion and eight hundred million. Very good.

So when you are 18 years old and have been playing this game since you were 11 years old, and you make about 60 grand in 6 months.. the most money you've ever had in your life.. (Well me at least) You end up spending a lot of money on things you don't really need.

Some of those things I didn't really need but really thought I did was a huge mothership, nice shiny covert levels and a huge unit production with 10 duals that had unit production as one of the attributes..

So somehow after blowing all this money into the game I was beating this thing called plague, and I was beating it soo hard... This plague was designed to like just crush your spirits, and I wasn't having it.

So as this plague is doubling in force every 200 million units your above it there hit a point where my massive Unit Production stopped growing and the plague matched it..

I hit 1.8 billion army and guess what?

The game capped itself..

You see to go bigger than 19 million total UP (something like 3.5m raw and 10x 1.7m UP planets) costs a lot of freaking money.. and it would not be an instant huge army. (Note I was bigger UP with officers but an update was released because of this that said commanders above plague received no UP reward.)

You would have to literally not do anything except PPT, bank and train for several months while you grew that big.

But nevertheless, if your beating the plague it's because you've invested alot to counter it, and there's been players bigger than it since it came out.

being self commander still gets you a 25% boost of your raw UP
im sitting pretty on 12m UP atm... but above that seems irrelevant cost/gain ratio... for now
