Population limit in demographics

Would it be possible to change max population to something else than 2147483647.
2.1 billion is clearly too low for a mod like this. One continent is enough to surpass this and it makes me mad that I can't see my real population in demographic screen or anywhere else. It takes a lot of fun out of my games. I like to watch my population grow but I can't enjoy that aspect in the endgame because of this limit.

This mod has changed so much from the vanilla game so I guess removing population limit won't be too much of challenge right? It is after all just a number but for me, it is kinda big part of the fun.

nope its the max integer you can have on 32bit.
2^31(2 to the power of 31) -1 = 2147483647

Things like this never cease to amaze me. The things we players can get excited over.

I quess that's why we like to game.

Why is that a signed integer anyway? If it was unsigned it could be twice that. Negative population counts don't make much sense, do they?

good point that. i dont know, suppose firaxis just didnt bother defining unsigned??

So there is no way to change that? I don't understand! It is just a number. I just can't get it into my head why there can't be like 2 more numbers behind it.

That's because you're human, but computers think differently

I've got 64bit and it's the same

The Game engine is 32 bit application, does not matter that your computer is 64 bit OS.
