JanGaarni Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Rebellion had a pop cap aswell, but it was ruled by how many maintainance point you had, which could be raised the more mines and refineries you placed on planets. 1 mine and 1 refinery equaled 50 maintainance point, but there needed to be in pairs. Each planet could only support a certain amount of refineries and mines though, up to 14, and that included other buildings such as shields, guns, and construction buildings. http://www.lfnetwork.com/images/lfnlinker.gifStar Wars: Empire at War.Net Moderator&SWGalaxies Moderator Co-Leader of The Affiliates! -A-- What we do in life, echoes in eternity!- May the pants be with you!

Foshjedi2004 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Um. Using RebEd i changed it so that Yavin had 3000 Of each advanced structures and 10000 of each refinery. The Rebels always won. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen.Vader Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 as for wahat alot of people have said, i think the pop cap will be limited. but only by how many planets you have, im not going to give out lots of numbers, but you could have 1000 ATATs with 50 controlled planets, but it would be impossibke for taht many atats under your control with just 1 planet.

Juggernaut1985 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I bet a program Like RebEd will be developed. I already have a person who can program in VB standing by so when the game is released he can start making a tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naja Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Let's just clarify something: Does the pop-cap just limit the amount of units that can be ON SCREEN? Or does it limit the amount of forces you can have OVERALL, throughout the galaxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joyce Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 There could be an on screen limit and a overall limit. The new age of the Empire has come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zer_Teron Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Oh, and there was a pop cap in C&C, we just didn't tell ya about it. You sure? I was playing a game with Hard Computer GLA and he built up his entire space with units and lagged the game to a stop http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3488/zersigef1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTrooper1 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 all we can do is assume about what can happen but thats the fun part on the forums, isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellar_Magic Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 With every game ever made there's a cap, because a game engine can only keep track of so many units. In C&C it's just insanely high!

JanGaarni Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Um. Using RebEd i changed it so that Yavin had 3000 Of each advanced structures and 10000 of each refinery.

Teradyn_pff Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 poo i was hopeing that we could have unlimited units but i guess your right that it isnt fair for the little guys... The little guys can have their pop cap limit, but that shouldn't hinder the higher end computers! And any multiplayer game would have to have a limit set to allow the lower-end computer involved to play. Single player should only matter on the computer it is being played on.

Dorkthehunter Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Delphi said the pop. cap is hardly noticeable. Stop worrying about it! Relax! Episode III comes out tomorrow. Watch it 10 times in the same day! (not sure if that is possible...I think....wait I don't....but 7 or 8 might be possible) Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah!

Grand Moff Joyce Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 But what is the actuall number of units you can have? The new age of the Empire has come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 At the moment we have no Idea as to the overall Pop Cap. It will probably depend on the number and type of planet you command. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
