population growth

[_wtf_]

i am so very tired , so maybe the answer to this is simple and i just dont see it, but...

i would think that a province that is Plains with forest = +10% Population growth and has a population of 20k roughly, would have a Greater Population Growth per Hour, than a province that is Mountians = -20% Pop Growth per hr & has 13k population roughly.

at the moment my mountians province is growing more than 20 future slaves per hour more than my plains with forest

how does this compute? 

edit:  if this is a bug, there is no need to rush to fix this one

Don't forget about farms. If you have more upgraded farms and consequently lower population losses in the mountains so then it's obvious you have higher growth per hour.

Do farms really work under 100.000 population in the province? Or their effect applied only after 100K population?

[yovanna]

This 100k is only your capital bonus. Other provinces don't have it. So when your province reaches this 100k farm limit, you'll be needing farm levels so that you couldn't have negative growth.

So we may not worry about farms until our provinces far enough from 100K population limit or not?

If you're talking about the capital, than yes, you are trouble free there.

Also, keep in mind that that + 10% pop growth is actually  bonus on farms, not on actual population growth.

Still not can't understand how farms works
In the game description: "Decrease population losses by 5% per level from the previous one given the bases 5400. So, the 2nd level capacity = 1st level capacity x 1,1 + 5400."
In help description: "Farm construction decreases the population losses due to shortage of food by 5% per level from the previous one, given the basis 5400 people."
Who can explain what kind shortage of food meant? There r no food as resource in the game. How farms affect population growth or death? Formula will be the best explanation

Don't know the formula but how i understand it is this

Your hour population growth is 100 for example, you lose 5% because of lack of food so your actual hour population would be 95

has anyone bothered to see the price of farms in the 1st circle of provinces?  get used to negative growth in thos provs, second farm level in each exceeds 100k wood, i think farm prices are too expensive, ill feed my people weeds before i pay these prices...lol

to give you an idea in my provs i upgraded farms in mountains and in plains.  the penalty in the mountains has still disppeared cause i have no food shortages, but in the plains it lasted 24 hours or so, i again have penalties and need to make a 100k farm.  level 3 has got to cost 200k or so wood, im feeding them expensive eco-friendly foods when they should be eating grass, like cows, get em fat to die....

Its mistake left in translation, it will be fixed tomorrow.
