I've a solution on how to keep the population limited: Medieval birth control with a goat's guts. Please introduce this in the next patch. It could be another useful addition to the pharmacist.And what would I do if I launch a king's invasion? Die with a smile on my face and see my stronghold crumbled by the evil forces of the king? I'd need a gatling gun in this situation....

The number ov patches does not have anything to do with how the game may be whether the patches are huge or small. As you can see there has been various posts that once cities get large, lag starts occurring. Ov course this does not occur with everyone.

We understand this may not sound appealing for competitive users but it is a way to keep mp stable

Right, this really doesn't sound appealing, even for free build players. Since I don't play MP, I only can imagine the consequences. Say 80 units is the max the game can handle. A 4 player game leaves 20 units per player. How many buildings and minions are necessary to have resources for one soldier? Question to everyone: Who does not have lags once the castle grew large? Anyway, cu till the next patch,

That may apply for Multiplayer but not for free build. I haven't tried it myself but I will this afternoon and I will report my highest population before I start to encounter issues

Sure it is also in free build mode.. always the same 80+ peasants is a good count, some more troops and the game starts lagging and doesn't stop..

True I tried it last night in free build mode and I got lags close to 100. I would move across the screen in 3 chugs like a slideshow

I also tried this in free-build mode and tested it in 1v1 multiplayer:

Each I got near 100 buildings/units in free-build I would start to lag.

In multiplayer; when we got near a combined 100 buildings it would start to lag.

Could we perhaps get some comments from devs. about this?

Oh look, days later and still no reply from a Dev, that's why I haven't even bothered to check. If you can't fix the game, just say so, the lag makes the game COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE. SH2 didn't have any problem what so ever with lag and that was playing 2v2... So the question is, CAN YOU FIX IT OR NOT? My specs are top of the line for whoever it was that asked, I play BF3 all the time on MAX settings. Oh, and also its not just MP that lags, free build does aswell...

Patience. Its something being worked on
