capturing population

[wilhil]

Hi

I am running low on population in a game, and I have never been good at troops, capturing population, and that sort of thing, but I was wondering if anyone can help me out so I can start!

does capturing and using other people just count towards your pop total, do they use their own racial traits or mine, will they riot more e.t.c

I just need pop quickly, and dont want it if they rebel more or if anything bad happens!

Thanks
