Third is that compared to AoE2 in particular, AoM plays differently, and often much faster (in my experience, at least). Three things create (or at least greatly facilitate) this unique play style: settlements being fixed, units taking more than one pop space, and limited numbers of houses/pop. These three factors, I think, create AoM’s play style. They force you to make terrain decisions that you don’t have to in other Age games, and you have to be very selective of what units you build. Greeks can’t just spam a ton of colossi and go to town because they take so much pop space. I therefore think that these elements need to stay, or at minimum should be the default settings. I’m probably in the minority on the pop cap question, but I think the limited house number and pop cap is integral to the game. Maybe increase max pop cap a little, but don’t under any circumstances make all units take one pop space or double the standard pop cap.

I agree that pop space works fine, especially balancing units like the Titans or Greek Colossi.

However, I always felt that limiting pop space based on the number of TC’s restricted gameplay too much. Maybe one player wants to make a comeback, or had units with lower mobility, and cannot compete late game. Controlling more TC’s means that you can produce more villagers and have more resources (gold) anyway, so giving a fixed maximum pop cap (regardless of number of TC’s) would make the game more fun in my opinion.
