Population Question`

I disagree, I don't think it is stupid. I feel like the scales are supposed to reflect the pretender god's influence on the world (Atleast in his/her domain). Just think of a scale set to no growth or death as a population where people have 2 kids per family. This is not terribly uncommon in real life, and it is fairly common for populations nowadays to even have a "death scale" as far as replacing and expanding populations.

Even in the United States we are facing a time period where it is predicted we won't be replacining ourselves in the future (Having more than 1 child per couple).

You mention "natural" and "increase" in the same sentence. In a natural environment, population does not tend to expand, it normally stays the same. What causes a population to increase over time is usually an abnormality from the natural norm, (Predators dying off, weather fluctuations, the invention of agriculture ;P).

Finally, it is important to remember that this is a video game. If it bothers you that not taking a growth scale does not increase your population, start taking atleast growth scale 1. With the new sleeping pretenders, its not that hard to squeeze it in.

The majority of the world even now has a positive growth rate and until the last few decades all countries did

.Its hardly normal

Its not a big deal tho as you said.


A little inherant growth would be nice tho..
