Conscript popcap
« on: March 06, 2012, 03:31:28 AM »
Hi, new here, (but I'll save introduction for later)
I was just wondering, can you guys remove the conscript population cap that limits them to only 5 squads at a time?
I feel like it's unnecessary; most high-level players probably won't build more than 3 conscripts, and the spamming argument doesn't seem to apply, since conscripts take up population now.

Besides, I want to be able to wage massive assaults on Stalingrad with nothing but conscripts..  :)
 Can't quite do that with only 5 squads ;)
PS: keep up the awesome work with the ostheer! and great job with the latest patch :D

The hardcap of Conscripts wasn't removed.

Conscripts don't take up population, they take 1 each but also give 1 each so that their bug with their squad number could be fixed. Therefore, net pop cost is 0.

As for the hardcap, it should stay because cons take no pop. If you want to do your massive Stalingrad attack, mod the game yourself in corsix and remove the hardcap.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Oh wow, I never noticed that, I just assumed you guys made conscripts cost pop when I saw they had a squad number and they had the 7pop icon on the cost. The 5 hard cap/pop cap limit on conscript squads should probably stay then..
Thanks for the info.

just to be sure, 5 conscripts is still a lot.
