How To Get More Than 200 Population In Age of Empires 4

Age of Empires 4 limits your population to 200 in normal game modes. However, if you want to exceed this cap and build armies with more than 200 units, you can easily do so by installing a population mod. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to increase your population limit to 1000 or higher.

Understanding the Population Cap

By default, Age of Empires 4 restricts your maximum population to 200 units across all game modes. This limitation applies to standard skirmish matches and multiplayer games. To overcome this restriction, you’ll need to use the mod system built into the game.

How to Install a Population Mod

Step 1: Access the Mods Menu

From the main menu, click on Mods.

Step 2: Browse Available Population Mods

On the bottom left of the Mods menu, click on All Mods. This will display all available community mods for Age of Empires 4.

In the search bar, type Population to filter mods that increase your population cap.

Step 3: Subscribe to a Population Mod

Several population mods are available. For example, the 1000 Population Cap mod allows you to increase your maximum population to 1000 units. Simply click on the mod to view its details, then click Subscribe in the top right corner.

Step 4: Enable the Mod

After subscribing, navigate to My Mods, which you’ll find at the bottom of the Mods tab. On the left side, you’ll see a toggle to enable or disable each mod. Make sure to Enable the Population Cap mod.

Playing With the Increased Population Limit

Once the Population Cap mod is enabled, start a Skirmish match or Multiplayer game. Your population limit will now be increased to 1000 (or whatever cap the mod provides) instead of the standard 200.

Summary

Getting more than 200 population in Age of Empires 4 is straightforward. Simply access the Mods menu, search for a Population mod like the 1000 Population Cap mod, subscribe to it, enable it in your My Mods section, and start your game. You’ll now be able to command armies far larger than the default 200-unit limit, giving you exciting new strategic possibilities.
