Population

Overview

Units consume population space. Houses and some civilization-specific buildings increase the limit, while the overall cap prevents unlimited armies.

Use in play

Add population capacity before a production cycle stalls, especially while training from several buildings.

Capacity planning

Population capacity limits how many units can be fielded at once. Houses and certain civilization-specific structures raise capacity; unit losses free space again. Add capacity before production queues hit the cap, while leaving resources available to replace the army. The lobby or scenario rules determine the active cap.
