Why are slaves capped at 32767?

[Clarty31]

Just wondering why I can't get more than 32767 of one slave, even though I can continue to buy and waste blood on purchasing them for no result.

Well, don't bother wasting blood on that. In all S8 games 32767 is hard cap of maximum number of anything you can have. I believe it's because of some programming reason, nobody actually bothered to set that cap manually, it simply could not be avoided.

Regardless of that, once you have 32767 of anything, don't bother trying to buy anymore of that, be if slave or ability (or trap/ability in zombies, building/unit in world war etc etc).

2^15 = 32,768

32767 in binary is 11 1111 1111 1111 -- there are only 14 bits available thus the 32767 cap.
