I have seen pro player matches and so far game still feels very much small in scale compared to AOE2 and even AOE4. Hard limit to building houses and pop caps plays a big role in this. Game in general hardly reaches 100 pop and even so you have very little spots to do with remaining population. Should settlement be as strict to scalability or something else still needed to improve this aspect of the game? Egyptian civs feels like plays into this role even more.
I agree more pop would be nice.
At last give us a lobby setting so we don’t have to deal with mods.
After playing retold its pretty disappointing to see the same where its just a spamfest with production buildings. Only major change I see is you can just bring more Mythic Units compared to past. Still the same amount of human unit. Also village center feels useless addition because of this reason alone.
