Many players have gotten the 'XXX empire now has 1000 million colonists' but I'm wondering if there's a greater landmark. If folks would be so kind as to post their populations, I myself have 6.1 billion people.
I just checked some code (revision 1290 - /branches/classic/sched_news.php) Not sue if that is the same version we are using or not, but that maxes out at 1000 million colonists and 50 planets.
the imperial realms of lollipop the beloved, benevolent and downrighteously funky now covers 1.2% of the galaxy!
I don't really have any choice in this game, very limited to what i can do. also just hit the 1bil mark.
