you dont like the whole idea of population growing right? I wonder why. Having to invest 120 design points to get a +18% increase in the population of a province, after 30 turns, is not that interesting.

It is appr 23% after 30 turns. And you get the 6% flat income increase, and the supply bonus, and are not eligeble for certain bad luck events. Growth scales were by many considered one of the no brainers in dom 1, now its effectiveness is reduced by giving it 3% less of an income increase per step, I still think it is a useful scale.

Population growth in excess of 9% a year seems absurd to me.

dunno, for me 30 turns @ 1.006 give 19% , perhaps there is a base 0.1% at growth 0 (thus giving 22%) ?

higher pop growth would be absurd, but you need to balance scale cost with advantages given. oh well, minor point anyway, there is no that many way to increase economy. I just regret that you had to give growth a blend of pop increase and econ increase, and not only pop increase, just because you felt a too high growth rate would not be realistic.
