Hi.
It won't work. In the patch description:
New maximum population options available in game: 2600, 3000, 3400, 3800, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000:
* NOTE: The maximum pop for each player will remain 999 no matter how many players there are in game.
* You can build the "Tree of Life", or the "Tree of Death" to hack your population in game (very expensive).
* Hack trees are forbidden in Multiplayer games, except City Building games.
If you don't play Multiplayer, you can make those trees cheaper. Read this for details:

999 is a maximum population for a single player, and it can not be changed.
Let me give you some examples:
If there are 4 players in game, and the maximum population is set to 2000 - every player will have 500 as the maximum population.
If there are 4 players in game, and the maximum population is set to 4000 - every player will have 999 as the maximum population.
If there are 4 players in game, and the maximum population is set to 10000 - every player will have 999 as the maximum population.
If there are 10 players in game, and the maximum population is set to 2000 - every player will have 200 as the maximum population.
If there are 10 players in game, and the maximum population is set to 10000 - every player will have 999 as the maximum population.

If you want to produce more than 999 - you have to build the "Tree of Death" which will remove (-1000) population from the counter. Thanks to that you will be able to have more than 999 units in game.
The 999 limit wasn't removed in the Unofficial Patch 1.5, because it could affect game performance and multiplayer gameplay. EE2 is a very bad optimized game, and when there are many units in game it laggs horribly Image

If you want to mod the game - simply start by checking all files. There is a lot of things to edit, and it's simply impossible to explain everything, until you find it out by yourself.
Some information about modding can be found in those topics:
http://forum.ee2.eu/t1733-trying-to-mod-in-a-new-unit
http://forum.ee2.eu/t1737-map-making-mp-scripting
http://forum.ee2.eu/t1728-building-limit-modding

If you want to add a new unit then... You need to import a model from some other game, then convert it, edit in special programs, etc. Then add it to game by editing ~10 files... not easy to do Image

I'm sure it will lagg too Image it's game optimization problem, not the hardware Image

I'm happy that I could help.

If you want to mod, I would recommend to:
- Install a fresh copy of EE2
- Paste UP1.5 for Developers, from this link: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1731-development-diary-ee2-ee2x-unofficial-patch-1-5-a-version-of-up1-5-for-modders

It's because in the "normal" version of 1.5, the files structure has been changed (to make the game compatible with every language version). With the changed structure it's much harder to edit, because some of needed files are in db.zip, and the other files are in db_150.zip

I don't know 3D's Max (I'm bad at graphics things). I also don't know how to make models work with EE2. Iwanicki (the other EE2 modder) was always helping me with new units.
From what you need to change several things, before EE2 can read the model (for example polygons can't be more than 20 000). The texture must be in a .tga format, and the .obj must be converted to nifcache with Nifskope (I think).
