Age of Empires 4 Maximum Population Limit

The maximum population capacity in a player's empire will be ultimately capped at 200 units. This includes both Villagers and any Infantry. This forces the player to find balances between the two, trying to get as many resources as possible while having enough soldiers for defending or attacking.

To increase the population limit, player's will need to order their Villagers to build Houses. Each House will increase the population capacity by 10, until the maximum limit has been reached. The only civilisation that this doesn't apply to is the Mongols, who already start with the maximum population capacity available without the need to build houses.

In Multiplayer mode, the individual capacity for the maximum population remains the same, being capped at 200. The maximum capacity overall, if players are engaging in a 4v4 match, is 1600. Of course, for those exciting 4v4 matches between empires, here's a guide on how to play multiplayer.
