Adding Population
I was thinking of a spell I wanted to try to make but I'm not sure if its feasible. I've searched the forums to see if anyone had previously posted something similar but couldn't find anything, however, I might not be searching for the right terms.
I am wondering if there is some sort of effect that can be applied to either a unit (whether troop or commander) or to a spell that can add to a provinces population. I know there are some units that have a 'kill population' effect and some spells kill population, does the opposite exist? If so, is it set number of increase, percentage or can it be either or? Thanks for any help. |
Re: Adding Population
I don't think there are any direct effects you could apply with a moddable spell.
Wishing for population will increase the population in a province at the expense of others. Otherwise, increasing the Growth scale is the only other mechanism that I'm aware of to increase population, and no units come with that. You can add it to sites, however. |
Re: Adding Population
Darn, I was afraid of that. Good to know you can add it to a site but doesn't really do what I want. Not unless you can create a site through use of a spell? I doubt that but that would be nice.

Re: Adding Population
Dom 4 will have the " procreate" and "move and procreate" unit orders. ;)

Re: Adding Population
One side piece of information is that if a map was to continue several thousand turns without any influence from growth scales, battles or spells the natural events would eventually decrease population to almost nothing.

At least three units have it. There is the goddess of fertility, and one of mictlan's tlaloques. I don't know how its implemented. I would guess a negative reaper. |

Re: Adding Population
No, I do not mean the Earth Mother.
there are two goddesses that say something like.. "her presence in the province cause love to bloom and fertility to increase..." |

There's the Lady of Love, whose description includes "She is blessed with aphrodisiac beauty and....Her mere presence brings love to flower..." I tested her with the same conditions (10 Dom, neutral scales) with no population change. ...or, perhaps you meant the Mother of Rivers, whose description reads "Her will and her great pitcher bring life to the land." I tested her too, no population change (except due to an earthquake on turn 10, which reduced population.) ...or was it the Lady of Fortune, whose description reads "good fortune affects the province in which she dwells"? I tested her for good measure too, no population change. Is it some other unit, or one of the above? |

Edit: I fail at reading comprehension, not sure what fertility goddess he's talking about offhand. Perhaps he meant the Lord of Fertility? Double Edit: By flavour only, I mean that it's not hiding some sort of underlying mechanic, just a way of explaining the +Supply bonus (As well as the 2N on him perhaps?) |
