This is like that by design, mule cart doesn’t count as population but as buildings.

the problem is: you can build unlimited, obstruct enemy units and even cause latency

this is certainly not a problem for top 50 players. But it’s a problem for the rest.

against AI it can be easily abused. since AI dont normally target buildings especially ones that do not attack them, so you just build in a choke area and all units get stuck.

AI needs to be scripted to target mule cart on sight, not only that cart needs to have HP reduced

Agreed. Its an exploit.

Just limit 20 carts per player. It’s more than enough. Why tf we would need more ?
