Re: Colony Types
What does "5% migration/year" mean? 5% of what?
5% of the current population of Xi'Chung are going to leave your planet that turn. It does not say how many will arrive( which is about 180 million each turn, judging by your post).
So after the second turn, 5% of those 181 million will go away from that planet, there will be a 12% birthrate and close to 180 million people will wander in from the other empire's planets.
181*0.05=9m
181*0.12=22m
181-9+22+180= 374m
So there should be about 374 at turn 3 assuming a 180mill immigration. Since the actual number is 366M that means the immigration was instead 172 million, a slight lessening from last turn.
Note that migration will obviously even itself out, once the two empires' population level starts to become equal, so they wont actually ever send all of their population to you. Note also that by using their population you gain their racial traits and loose your own on the planets/ships where there's a majority(?) of their population. Not sure exactly how that part works yet, not been in such a situation.
Unless the migration is a one-way thing in the pact, you'll also probably be sending alot of humans to them.
