Palaiologos: I thought that was only an issue with objective-based scenarios... I don't think there's any way around it (except ToT ).

Wait a minute, there's half a way around it. If you turn off the scenario flag (through hexediting, or maybe simply saving as a savegame but with the .scn extension??) you can keep the population displayed. Unfortunately, that also means you will have to give up non-standard turns, objectives and just about everything else limited to scenarios. So I'm not sure if that's worth it... And who actually really looks at that population anyway?

[Palaiologos]

I do, actually.

The "problem" exists with both types of scenarios, not objective-based only. I chose a Julius Vernes world screenshot exactly because it is a non objective-based scenario.


But you are right, there is no way around it.

I can see circumstances where I'd like to turn it off. In an historical scenario where a low population density should dictate a bunch of size 1 cities, you face the dilemma of cities disappearing upon capture. One workaround is to increase the size to absorb a capture or two, but that raises the population to ~5-10 times the historical population.

Mayhap I should substitute "Toe count" for "population" in Game.txt?

I am pretty sure that it's in labels.txt and that MGE and FW versions of that are mutually incompatible.
