Fair point, actually I just realized that all buildings are enterable and destructable, so having every building inhabited could be a problem in terms of gameplay. Anyway, I never asked for 20k people to be taken literary and actually be shown, I just asked for a change in the background to make it more authentic. First mission in Harvest Red.

I'm not asking to have the game process civilians on the other side of the island when you're not there, just asking for civilians. If that's the case I'm fine with it, I don't care if they make 1000 towns or 10 as long as there is an authentic connection between the background story and the world itself. The thing is though: As far as I could understand NATO, and certianly not civilians were supposed to know about the strategic value of this island. And the storyline also states that Miller is stationed deep behind enemy lines, so it wouldn't be a warzone anymore. Again, I realize it does nothing to gameplay, I just have a wierd thing that I like stuff like population to somewhat match the amount of cities and stuff like that. It always annoyed me that Chernarus supposedly had millions of people living in it.

Hi, I'm new here, and I've gotten one of my ArmA kicks again after I found out Arma 3 is being developed, so I decided to finally make a profile. Anyways, I was looking on the website and I found this quote about Limnos: "The most inhabited and developed areas can be found on the South-West of the island. The current population (excluding military personel) is partially scattered amongst the isolated farms and villages, estimated to be approximately 2,000." At the same time I have heard or read somewhere I can't remember that there will be 50 villages, there will be farms etc. Simple math: 2000/50 leaves us with an average of 40 civilians per village, which is way too little considering that some of these places will be big, and if we have to take farmers into account as well thats more like civilians 30 per village, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I know that people probably wont care much (at all) about this kinda stuff, but to me a somewhat believeable environment and background is important when playing campaings in games like Arma, that focus a great deal on realism, so I humbly suggest BI to add another zero to the population. Also, very sorry if this has been posted/adressed before, don't mean to bother anybody.
