it is good to have negative growth.If its not too negative.For example i have 246kpop in plains with -19 growth,instead 230k pop with small positive growth.Its like skipping low growth in new province ,same thing ,skipping growth in large province.Negative growth dissapear when enaugh villigers die.Anyway maybe u think im crazy but i use population in low efficency plains to boost 100percent efficency province.15k villagers in F7 ,100% province do better then 15k villagers in F4 70percent plains.Growth is about the same ,non efficient plain dont slow down with growth ,and u lose growth in stronger province.And i lure people to pillage me ,but dont tell anyone
.And maybe something else ,but i dont want to make some plans public,its pretty unique
