Now we set a "base growth" and a "maximum population factor". This means the pop may grow with a growth/death scale of "0" with diminishing returns as soon as the actual number exceeds the standard size, until the numbers is the "pop factor" times the "standard pop size", when growth stops.

So a growth +3 will get you people faster, but not more in the (very) long run - pop will not grow endlessly.

Yep! Sort of like... oh... Master of Orion or Stars! That would make the game's population dynamics much more palatable to me=)

And you'll need "Death 1" to stop man from "being fruitful and rapidly multiplying" .. think this is much more realistic, and might even work better with the current game mechanics

Exactly. The devs must be pretty religious... in Dominions people can't even reproduce without a God's influence

P.S. Would you mind making your equation 2 or 3 lines instead of 1? It makes the screen scroll horizontally as is=)
