Tempest Rising has a set Population population limit of 200, as of the demo. It limits the maximum number of units the player can have on the map.

Overview

Each unit takes up 1 or more population count depending on their type:[1]

  • Light units and infantry take up 1 Population population count.[2]
  • Medium units, such as the Hunter Tank, take up 2 Population population counts.
  • Heavy units, such as the Boar, take up 3 Population population counts.

Structures, such as buildings and defenses, do not take up any population count.

The population limit is always set at 200 from the beginning of a match or level; there are no analogues to houses or supply buildings to raise the population capacity in the game.[3]

Specialists

Specialist Specialists have their own separate limit:

  • In the campaign, only 1 of each specialist can be present on the map at a time. This is because specialists are named individual characters.[4]
  • In skirmish and multiplayer, the player can train a total of 3 of the tier 2 specialists in any combination, and 1 of any tier 3 specialists.[5]
