Default Re: Time to increase number of provinces again?

The unit limit has already been increased for the next patch.

I'm with Sombre really. You'd surely have to be a masochist to want more than 1500 provinces. It was easy then fair enough, but it doesn't sound like a good use of developer time if it's going to be quite tricky.

I actually agree.
But then again, the Solo players seem to far outnumber the MP players. After years of solo play Im not sure how many might be tempted into larger and larger campaigns. I get a fair amount of downloads on really large maps. That might increase the need factor.

On the other hand, Im also not sure how many peoples machines could even try it. It lowers the need factor again if its only a server thing. How many mega games do we really need anyway?

*A solo player is summoned and gives his unrequested opinion *

Oh well, actually I play almost only big SP games with /all/ the nations of one era on random, "large" maps. It takes a couple of months to me to finish one - really, larger than this is needed for MP?
