Re: increasing character limit beyond 256?

Surprisingly, in the end I had some success: by changing offset 0052BF03 (gog 1.51 version) from 41 to 00 , I have enabled myself to recruit past 256 in game Good find. How has your experience been thus far? Any issues after doing this? Over 700 characters at this point, no noticeable issues. Of co...

Re: increasing character limit beyond 256?

What about a workaround? instead of a direct squad, you create a separate friendly faction which has a very limited AI but also uses your food and beds? So you would create a separate faction and call them "farmers" or "miners" and they do a specific job at a base? That's what P...

Re: increasing character limit beyond 256?

A little necro-ing and some good news (for the curious and very adventurous) to celebrate the anniversary of this thread. First, as "The Horde" (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1723305406) mod proves beyond doubt, the game can in fact function with more than 256 PCs ...

Re: increasing character limit beyond 256?

How do you feed / recruit / manage 256 people? :lol: The game is pretty good at automating. I have a large capital city and a network of small self-sufficient castles (2 men per 4 vegetable hydroponics). I have so much food stored across these I would have needed to build the Amazon central warehou...

increasing character limit beyond 256?

Is there any chance to lift the hardcoded character limit of 256 with a future patch? Recruiting and drilling people into respectable combatants was basically the most fun part, and now that I hit the cap (and after a couple of forced imports) it hurts to see all those would-be recruits and slaves a...
