I may be hitting on something that was discussed before. If so I apoligize, I just got here.
Whats with this "Population Limit Reached"?!?
I mean i understand limits on units like in starcraft and stuff.. But this is rediculus.. Its like 50 units. Is there something that I need to change in a multiplayer game to fix this? If not is there a hack that removes this?
This almost makes the game close to unplayable in multiplayer...
I would appreciate any input on this.
Thanks,

If you are on ROR, the host can change the population limit from 50 to 200. In AOE, you can download a patch to update it to version 1.0b. The instructions for this patch are in the zip file. Hope this helps.

You have to go to multiplayer to do that though, and set some comps up in the other slots.

I'm sorry, I deleted the text file, but there was a file that told you all the command line paramters. Anyway, I pulled out my old AoE shortcut, and this was what I used in the Target line:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires\Empires.exe" limit=75 nostartup
Keep your stick on the ice.

For AOE there is even some utilities for changing the pop limit. Johan Joubert's TotalAOE, downloadable from the Granary, is a good one.
