Overpopulation bug

[mod[tiv]]

since this tick, it seems the game does not accept the 15% overpop anymore

17962 current pop
15767 max pop

that is 13,9% overpop. and it does not let me attack.
and i am not the only one in my kd. i had to go below 9% overpop to attack.

and no. i play this game long enough that i sent my released soldiers out, did not release wizards to cure this **** etc.

Your army is too large for your lands. Overpopulation within the army has caused dissent and anger. Until this is resolved, your men refuse your orders.

This is frustrating

Had to go below 10% to get war room to load. Please fix this.

Merged threads, will look into this.

As far as I know, not only you have to have less than 15% overpopped to be able to attack, but also your army can't exceed your max pop. I suppose the thread starter has more army than max pop and that's the problem.

That shouldn't ever happen of course, unless you had way too few wizards to start with (bad idea) and you either had a bad tpa, or released thieves (again, bad idea) and you are already out of peasants mostly.

You should be able to hit once you drop below 115% overpop, we could do with seeing this in action though.

[denial]

I'll double check that Csarmi I think that's the issue. Is this a bug or a feature?

[Bishop]

Bug from what i see here.

I could attack when I dropped just below 115%

mod, denial - you guys in the same kingdom?

[denial]

Yes.

[mod[tiv]]

not sure if it is the same for denial, but i had several time a "oops something went wrong" (mostly when sending aid or taking intel) in the 12 hour timeframe when that happened to me

strange

[Bishop]

Just had an opportunity to see this in action, the province was overpopped by 9% but was unable to hit. The provs total military exceeded their max pop. Once they released down so that solds+specs+elites+thieves < max pop they could hit. Given that we haven't touched overpop mechanics, ever, this appears to be by design. We'll keep looking at it though.

Your army is too large for your lands.

I'm really amazed people:

A) Didn't realize that's not the 115% overpop message, and so
B) Can't read it and figure out the difference
&
C) Don't know about this to begin with

The game has had this secondary overpop mechanic for as long as I can remember
