Live pop limit update IMPLEMENTED

[Lucifer]

Hi.
Is it possible for pop counter to be updated in real time? IE whenever you create or delete a unit (through raise dead, summons, killing a unit, it dying from enemy, etc etc).
While playing as undead, pop limit comes up almost every match, and it's a guessing game of how many units should one destory to get below the pop limit.
Unless you feel like counting your 200ish units, there's no way to know whether you have killed enough or not.

A small tip is quit the game and rejoin it

Please note this can be exploited to surpass population limits by however much you can make in one turn.

Ah, thanks for the tip.

If it's possible to update the pop by quitting and rejoining, making it live update shouldn't be too hard right?

please specify a little more when it is not updated and "what" is not updated.

what i checked is the current pop / factory count / mega count on the top of the game screen.

and it is updated when observing player's (you) unit :
- destroyed
- spawned / produced
- changed owner
- turn started


please confirm that all these cases the counters counted immediately (so it works) and tell me which case it is no working.

Unit count is updated at turn initialization and when you leave your turn and come back. Not sure about on production, but building and summoning units don't update the count. Haven't looked at changing ownership yet. Units destroyed during your turn (at least via deletion) do not update either

Factory and mega building counts are updated as soon as you lay the foundation.

you a right - there was a cache for the pop value - ok i made a change - hopefully not slowing the AI runs with it.

will be in in next update.
