Use this to decrease the current population count for any player by an amount you want providing the numeber chosen is even. This allows you to start with like say -200 population instead of 0 giving you 500 population cap worth of room for units as you have all the way from -200 to 0 plus the normal 300 population! I will shortly update the superpack and trigger pack with this trigger.

Trigger file and superpack now updated.

@WRP_Beater

Recent thread in RMS section asking about setting it. People saying it impossible outside 0 to 300 and the couple that had remotely heard of my infintie population thread infinite. So I investigated the trick further and made it so you could set it to what you want

For trigegr scripter you mgiht be confused about why the two lines setitng the original population change amount rather than 1 plus the amount setting or combine even into one line. There appears to be issues with precision with modify protounit and values you set above a certain amount which is a little odd..

Good job. I did think before that this was something possible for population.

edit: I mean, I have thougth of this as an idea to solve the population issues.
