How to change Pop sizes/caps? Not really a tech issue, but support would be nice

Hi guys, just curious about how I can change the max limit on ships in space battles and land battles or decreasing populations of various units.

Just would love to know, thanks guys!

One easy way that doesn't involve changing any files is simply to change your fleet size in options.  "Normal" fleet starts you out with 100 fleet supply I think, whereas "Large" starts you out with something like 350.  Never used Larger, but imagine it's probably around 600.

The pop caps are in Factions.xml and Expansion_Factions.xml. It's super obvious what's what, just open in notepad. Land is a little more complicated, since if you raise the pop cap past 10 it really screws the GUI and causes a ton of bugs, so the better option there if you want more units is to just increase the company sizes, which can be found in GroundCompaniesFaction.xml and EotH_Vehicles/Infantry.xml.
